More Than Just Luck
Raw stories from security insider Greg Wier, no punches pulled on deals, scandals, and the grind nobody films. Truth behind the badge and the briefcase.
The Book
Greg Wier didn't just beat the odds - he changed the rules of the game. From being a broke kid in a small Michigan town to a titan of the cutthroat security industry, Greg's life was a no-holds- barred saga of ambition, betrayal, and triumph. Diving headfirst into a world of corruption, mob ties, and high-stake deals, he clawed his way from a single-wide trailer and a 1980 Monte Carlo, to multiple mansions and a garage packed with fifty sports cars.
Crooked cops, government shakedowns, and backstabbing partners couldn't stop him. Neither could the seductive chaos of sex, drug and rock'n'roll that pulsed through the seedy underbellies of Hollywood, New York, Atlanta and Las Vegas. This isn't some polished success story - it's the raw, unfiltered truth about a life forged by risk and strategy in a world that most people never see. More Than Just Luck rips the curtain off the security industry's darkest secrets, exposing the scams, the schemes, and the power plays that defined four decades of Greg's relentless climb.
Part memoir, part cautionary tale, and part blueprint for those bold enough to carve their own path, this book will shock you, teach you, and keep you turning pages long into the night. If you dare to learn what it really takes to win when the stakes are life and death, buckle up for a jaw-dropping ride.

Great read
The stories in this book are so crazy they are almost unbelievable. I had many laugh out loud moments followed by being very inspired to change parts of my own life.
★★★★★
Great story of perseverance and grit
I found that to be really inspiring. It doesn’t pull any punches, either. … I guess it’s the definition of “hard-hitting,” which we need more of, rather than sugar-coating everything. Wild stories, funny stories, and everything in between.
★★★★★

Hard work pays off!!
Each night after putting my kid to bed I’d start reading getting sucked in to the “What Happened Next “ while staying up all night to keep reading the stories of a true self made man that truly loves his family and friends. Great book and a ton of wisdom that I will use as I navigate my way through life.
★★★★★
Great Read
I liked how honest and straightforward it felt, even when talking about the tough or messy parts of his journey. It’s not a perfect or typical success story, but it’s a good read if you want something real and easy to relate to.

"I love to win! I will succeed, and nothing in this world is going to stop me. That's my mentality, and it's the one you must have to overcome all the obstacles in your way. I can sit here and talk to you about wealth, power, people, musicians, Hollywood, TV, all that shit. But, I never lost my mind in the midst of all that."
