Greg says Music "matters" because it "gives joy" and "soothes." His faith-based organization plays worship music in detention centers, saying it "matters to soothe the soul."

Greg says Sport "matters to me personally" and in his work — it's "an outlet for these youth who are behind barbed wires" and soccer is especially significant in Central America.

Greg says Artificial intelligence "definitely matters" and is "unavoidable at this point." His organization uses it for grant proposals, foundation research, and reporting on the administrative side.

Greg says Social media "definitely matters," especially for reaching younger generations, "communicating the work, showing them what the opportunities are and the possibilities."

Greg says Juvenile justice system "definitely matters." It's not about ignoring crimes, but ensuring "a fair approach to life when life probably hasn't been that fair to them so far."

Greg calls Mentorship "huge" and says "if you don't have someone mentoring you and showing you the way, then you're just gonna continue in the same rut" — it's central to his rehabilitation work.

I think society writes these kids off, but they were born into situations none of us would choose.

I believe there's still a window, before a kid gets hardened, where you can actually change things.

I care about justice meaning a fair shot, not just punishment for what these kids did.

I've seen that without someone showing you a different way, you just stay stuck where you started.

I use sports and music as real outlets for kids who have nothing else inside those walls.

I think the most powerful thing is watching these kids come back and run programs for younger ones.

I see kids proving wrong every single person who said their lives were worthless.

I think about the fact that these kids didn't start at zero, they started behind the line.
