Episode notes
Sweat Lodge Awakening
- Peter entered a brutal Temescal sweat lodge in the Brazilian jungle and experienced a collapse that became a spiritual awakening.
- He saw a vision where a Native American said, "fear is worse than death," which revealed how fear had run his life.
Identity Built Around Success
- Peter tied his self-worth to being a successful international businessman, modeled after his grandfather.
- That identity became a prison because he feared losing it and couldn't pursue other passions without feeling 'weird.'

- Decisions stem from two lenses: fear or love, which map to scarcity or abundance.
- Acting from fear moves energy to the survival brain and kills creativity, while love opens abundance and creativity.
