Episode Details

Greg Page is the original Yellow Wiggle, a man whose music has shaped generations. Most people know about his on-stage heart attack—but few get the inside story of how it forced him to reconcile fame, performance, and identity.

Greg shares what it’s like to balance the person behind the performer, how exploring spirituality with John Edwards helped him understand himself, and how these insights shaped his mission with Heart of the Nation. This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s a conversation about purpose, impact, and what it takes to turn life-altering moments into meaningful action.
