Money Learnings: Pete's family did not teach him much about money growing up. His mom was a saver while his dad was a spender. Pete realized he exhibited both traits, which led him to lose large sums of money twice in his life.
Bio: From picked on to pro athlete to serial entrepreneur. Pete built a 7 figure business, dozens of employees, model wife, rolex watches, cars and homes in the country but left all of this to follow his own hero's journey and second mountain; building a community of guys to help him and them stop playing at level 4 when they know they have level 10 in the bag. Pete is a father, mentors founders from 7-8 figures and coaches to build resilience, discipline and character forging.
