About Gregory Berge: THEY SAY THAT GREAT ATHLETES NEVER GIVE UP.  BUT FOR GREGORY, GIVING UP HIS MEDICAL CAREER MARKED THE BEGINNING OF HIS ATHLETIC DREAMS. Born in 1978, Gregory grew up dreaming to become a professional sportsman.  21 years later, he stopped growing and also stopped dreaming because he’s having his 3rd ACL surgery in 4 years. That’s how he decides to devote his energy to school and enroll in a 6 year osteopathic course in Marseille, France. Ten years later in Japan, he becomes the first foreign osteopath ever registered in Japan. Between 2011 and 2013, he works as an English teacher, as a dish-washer in a restaurant, as a cook in a Japanese restaurant, in a Mc Donald’s, as a janitor, a translator and finally discovers interpreting.  Gregory’s behaviour, energy and stress level are at the exact opposite of what he experienced as an osteopath. He writes his first book “How to find your soul job”. On September 4th of 2013, the International Olympic Committee announces Tokyo as the host of the 2020 Olympic games.  Gregory sees this as the sign that it's time to give one more chance to his childhood dream.  This is how he starts triathlon with the 2020 Olympic games as his only goal. In 2014, he finishes 25th at the Nationals. In 2015, he is selected in the age-group French National team.  The dream is alive.

Escaping a gas explosion in a pub whilst at Leeds Poly was the first hint there may be a spirit guide taking care of business. Unilever showed me how to sell, but not to be anything different. Seagrams showed me how to have fun. In- Wear allowed me to be cool without spending the cash. Initial taught me life can be a drudge. Then Comcast showed me that fate really exists. Finally a square peg in a square hole allowed all the instinct and natural skills to come flooding out. And how we changed the world. Paradigm’s shifted for fun. No-one wanted the internet but we gave it to them anyway – just in case . Lucky we did, 128k was the taster. What an amazing team building exercise also, I’m proud to have built my version of Springsteen’s E-Street Band.  Then time to move on. In search of true bliss, a chance to do what I want, when I want, with who I want. And the chance to be there, all day until the end for someone so special. An honour. Becoming an investor is real hard core, that qualifies for being a true Entrepreneur when the cheque is signed and you ask the family to trust your judgement! So far so good. And I’m on the road speaking and coaching, passing on the experiences and sharing the secrets.  And the first book is hot off the press! If someone asked the specky four-eyed kid from Leeds if he’d take the journey – he’d say YES !
