Jesca: Why are you so compelled to help people who are wired this way? What is your biggest challenge and what is your biggest take away? Peter: i've always enjoyed advocte for other people's possibilities. I'm not convinced that it's the only thing that i could do, or it's the one right thing for me to do. It's just, it's what i enjoy. And sometimes when it helps someone heal with their relationship with money, it also feels good in a greater sense.
