👋 ABOUT ME Ex-Goldman Sachs banker turned songwriter and creator📍San Francisco
Hi, I'm Peter! My goal is to to help you create your dream career and life - based on my experiences being an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and venture capitalist in San Francisco and pursuing my dream to be a songwriter in LA and now a creator.
After graduating from UC Berkeley, I became an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and a venture capitalist at a $2Bn VC fund on Sand Hill. The entrepreneurs we invested in inspired me to pursue my closet dream to be a singer-songwriter and I 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 started this channel and "the inner creator" podcast to help you express yourself and help others through your career and creativity.
