👋 ABOUT PETER
Ex-Goldman Sachs banker turned songwriter and creator📍San Francisco
Hi, I'm Peter! My goal is to to help you go from corporate to creator, based on my experiences working in investment banking at Goldman Sachs and venture capital in San Francisco, to pursuing my dream to be a songwriter in LA and now a creator. Get creative, get paid, help others :)
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 life-long 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 I started this channel and "the inner creator" podcast to help you express yourself and help others.
