👋 ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Peter! I'm a former Goldman Sachs investment banker turned creator, based in San Francisco.
My goal is to to help you create the art, business, and life of your dreams by sharing what I've learned (and am learning) about creativity, business, and self-discovery.
After graduating from UC Berkeley, I became an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and then invested in startups as a venture capitalist at a $2Bn fund on Sand Hill road. After being inspired by the entrepreneurs we funded who were pursuing their passion, I decided to pursue my life-long closet dream to be a singer-songwriter and moved to LA for 5 years. After years of left-brained thinking in the business world, I dove head-first into exploring the right-side of my heart - studying songwriting, storytelling, performing, and making music. Eventually I joined a startup in SF, and I made this channel and "the inner creator" podcast to help creators express themselves and help others.
