From the Stage to the Courtroom

What happens when one life ends… and another begins in a completely different world?In this episode of The Story Seat, Gregg Owen shares a journey that feels almost cinematic—moving from life as a touring rock musician to becoming a prosecutor handling some of the most serious homicide cases in Chicago.It’s a story of sharp turns, unexpected choices, and the weight of stepping into roles that demand everything from you—mentally, emotionally, and morally. From performing on stage to standing in courtrooms where lives hang in the balance, Gregg opens up about what it means to navigate two vastly different identities.We also explore the real stories behind the justice system, the emotional impact of high-stakes cases, and the deeper truths that inspired his book Convergence.Because sometimes, the path you never planned…becomes the one that defines you the most.
