Always Ready: A Life of Firsts, Service, and Second Acts continues to resonate with readers through meaningful, in-person conversations.

Recently, Gregory A. Duncan hosted a successful book signing at Barnes & Noble’s Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, California. The event brought together readers, leaders, and community members for an engaging afternoon centered on service, leadership, and navigating life’s transitions with purpose.

Throughout the signing, Duncan connected one-on-one with attendees—signing books, sharing reflections from the memoir, and listening to readers’ own stories of reinvention and second acts. The conversations reinforced one of the book’s core messages: readiness is not just about preparation, but about mindset, reflection, and growth.

Events like this underscore the heart of Always Ready—not just as a memoir, but as a shared experience that invites dialogue, connection, and forward momentum.
