More Than Enough: Greg Duckett on Confidence, Community & Creating Your Own Path

In this powerful episode of The Journey, host Larry Robinson sits down with Greg Duckett, Memphis native, attorney, healthcare executive, and civic leader—for a conversation full of grit, grace, and Black excellence. Raised in Westwood, educated at Oberlin, and now one of the city’s most respected leaders, Duckett opens up about his early years, pivotal career moments, and the quiet strength it takes to thrive when you’re often the only Black face in the room. 💬 “Don’t let someone’s negative perception of you become your reality.” From being told to consider trade school in college to becoming Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Memphis and Chair of the Greater Memphis Chamber, Greg’s story is a masterclass in perseverance and purpose.
