Greg resides in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, two daughters, and two cats. For almost ten years, He worked as a marketer, helping guide cutting edge technology for genetics research to market. He loved helping invent new ways for people to do things, and to help create new markets. A bit like Santa, giving the gift of a problem solved. He started innovating almost as soon as he started teaching Mussar. (Mussar has a long history of innovation, going back at least as far as Rabbi Israel Salenter who started the Mussar movement in the 19th Century.) It started with spectrum diagrams for each Soul Trait, and progressed to the development of American Mussar and the forthcoming Pocket Mensch app. My second book “The Spiritual Practice of Good Actions: Finding Balance through the Soul Traits of Mussar” "I just love teaching and facilitating Mussar!" -Greg Marcus To know more about Mission Driven visit us through the following links below Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/matisyahu-goren/the-long-short-way iTunes: thelongshortway.com/itunes Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/m/Ipq2uitzi6bepn6qajapyiunnym?t=Mission_Driven_The_Long_Short_Way_Podcast Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/thelongshortway YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnUhbpi61p_qYWRFAlnAEEg
