Storyteller – Speaker – Leveraging the power of narrative to drive change and humanize business by transforming the way we connect with talent

Humility is a great teacher.

Humility earned through arrogance is painful but nonetheless effective. I know this from experience.

As a leader of a recruiting firm, I was controlling, untrusting, and frightened. My behavior nearly cost me everything. Yet through a pivotal experience on a non-profit board, I witnessed something transformative: the power of collaborative leadership and conflict resolution.

We achieved outcomes no single faction could have accomplished alone. By listening to detractors not to convince but to understand, we turned critics into collaborators.

This lesson hit home when one of my employees challenged my boneheaded response to a crisis. Her simpler approach, which I resisted, proved far more effective. In that moment, theory collided with reality, showing me that intellectual understanding alone is never enough.

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about creating conditions where great ideas thrive and others can step into leadership.

Today, as a keynote speaker and leadership transformation raconteur, I bridge the gap between organizational theory and practical implementation. Through award-winning storytelling as a three-time Moth Story Slam winner and TEDx speaker and evidence-based insights, I help executives navigate disruption by showing how leaders can:

Release the shackles of command-and-control
Access collective wisdom of their teams
Transform culture to thrive in rapid change

The stakes are immense:

77 percent of employees worldwide are disengaged, representing untapped potential
70 percent of digital transformations fail, wasting billions in lost innovation
Traditional leadership models cannot keep pace with AI-driven change, leaving teams struggling to adapt

All of this happens against the backdrop of a world on fire, where crises demand collaboration but we remain divided.

Organizations that embrace Abundant Leadership, where authority is distributed and decisions happen closer to the front lines, can:

Reduce overhead by 40 percent
Ramp up productivity
Drive sustainable innovation amid chaos

When collaboration becomes part of how we work, it spreads to our families, communities, and institutions, and eventually their politics ushering a better world for us all.

If you resonate with these ideas and want to explore how theory can become transformative reality in your organization, I would love to connect. Message me or copy this link to put your date on hold: peterlaughter.com/date-hold/

Founder & Talent Pied Piper

For two thirds of us, works sucks. It’s no wonder the world is in such bad shape – most of us spend a huge part of our waking lives doing something we barely tolerate. It doesn’t need to be this way. After 25 years in recruitment, I have an uncommon understanding of the psychology of hiring. What’s more, I know that your future is not dictated by your past. I love opening up joyous opportunities for people’s careers and helping them transition from a place of purpose and deep understanding.

In 1999 I was a sales leader for SYSCO Denver.

I was doing pretty well, but saw that there was an imbalance.

I had the blood, sweat and tears and my managers had nice cushy offices with pictures of beach vacations.

- I was making $80k/year working 60 hours/week
- They were making $250k at 30 hours/week
- And, SYSCO was a $30B/year company

I realized then and there that I wanted a better lifestyle, so my entrepreneurial adventures began.


The path to success has never been easy. 

In 2003, after 15 years of heavy drinking, I was able to get sober.


That’s an important part of my story, because I learned that alcohol isn't the problem.

It’s what I used to cope with the REAL problem... my thinking.

If we can master our mindset, we can design a beautiful life.


I've built 2 multimillion dollar companies and managed dozens of teams.

The first was a Rare Coins and Precious Metals Company, which was my greatest teacher and changed my life forever.

It taught me that if we don’t manage our minds, life becomes very difficult.

And, even if we make some money, we’re struggling in other areas like our relationships or health.


No matter how successful we become, if we’re not masters of our minds, we’re not as successful as we could be.

I’ve coached some of the highest level leaders and entrepreneurs to master their minds, scale their businesses and build beautiful lives.


It’s never an easy process, but well worth the effort.

And, with the right guidance, it’s MUCH easier.


In 2021, I realized that Linkedin is much more than just a job posting platform, so I decided to build a brand and business on here which has transformed my life!

And, I help others do the same.

- I am a business coach to elite leaders and entrepreneurs
- I have an investment education/management company
- I now have 185,000 Linkedin followers (350,000 total)
- I live on the Caribbean Sea in Playa Del Carmen, MX
- I have a newsletter with over 135,000 subscribers
- I live in Valencia, Spain 3 months per year
- I am a pretend middle-aged athlete

I went from making $80k and building somebody else’s dreams,

To unlimited potential and living my own dreams everyday!

The sky isn’t the limit.

Your beliefs are.

Most people don’t fail because of lack of talent.
They stop because of invisible ceilings 
they never question.

Those ceilings are built from:
↳ Old conditioning
↳ Past experiences
↳ Things you were told when you were younger
↳ Fear dressed up as “being realistic”

Here’s the hard truth:
You are rarely limited by circumstances.
You are limited by preconditioned 
behaviors you learned to survive.

Beliefs become habits.
Habits become identity.
Identity becomes destiny.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

When you challenge the belief, 
you unlock the behavior.

When you change the behavior, 
you expand the outcome.

5 Shifts That Remove Self-Imposed Limits:

1/ Question the Story You Keep Repeating
 ↳ Ask: Who taught me this?
 ↳ Most limits were borrowed, not chosen

2/ Separate Fear From Fact
 ↳ Fear predicts failure
 ↳ Facts show what’s actually possible

3/ Act Before You Feel Ready
 ↳ Confidence follows action, 
not the other way around
 ↳ Momentum breaks mental ceilings fast

4/ Surround Yourself With Expanders
 ↳ Your environment reinforces belief systems
 ↳ Get around people who normalize bigger goals

5/ Prove Yourself Wrong Daily
 ↳ Small wins rewire old patterns
 ↳ Evidence beats motivation every time

The moment you outgrow your old beliefs,
your world gets bigger.

Not because the sky moved.
But because YOU finally did.

Are you challenging your limits?

Neuroscience and Business Development Coach for High Performing Leaders with Burnout or Addictions. Turn Your Chaos into Clarity. CEO, Epic Entrepreneur Media. Founder, Elite Leaders Network.

Your dreams don’t die from lack of talent.

They die from constant distraction.

The whole world is hijacked by:
 ↳ Beeps
 ↳ Dings
 ↳ Buzzes
 ↳ Notifications

All day. Every day.

And the most addictive cheap dopamine on the planet?
Short form video.

It is literally designed to:
 ↳ Hook your attention
 ↳ Keep you scrolling
 ↳ Steal hours of your life
While telling you it is harmless.

Here’s the hard truth:
You cannot build anything meaningful while your attention is fragmented.

If you want real focus, 
you must turn it ALL off.

That means:
 ↳ Notifications
 ↳ Endless videos
 ↳ Porn
 ↳ Mindless eating and drinking
 ↳ Constant background noise

Anything that keeps you from sitting with one task.

Multitasking is a lie.
As long as you have:
 ↳ 20 tabs open
 ↳ TikTok or Reels running
 ↳ 30 priorities fighting for attention
You will move slowly and call it burnout.

Progress comes from one thing at a time.
Not everything at once.

Look at Pavel Durov.
Worth $17B.
Owns a social media company.
Does not even use his phone because it distracts him from his work.

Let that sink in.

If the guy who built Telegram avoids the device…

Why can’t you?

Your future needs your attention.
Nothing else does.

What are you focusing on?

Ai is not here to take your job.

But it is here to make our lives more efficient.

The $200M Series E announcement from Synthesia today is a major "pay attention" moment for  the AI space. 

Not just because they reached a $4B valuation.

It matters because it affects how we actually work. 

Right now, most "AI at work" is just a wrapper around a chatbot.

It’s fine, but it doesn't solve the core problem:

👉 The massive gap between company data and employee action.

Synthesia is pivoting the narrative from "cool AI video tools" to "Interactive AI Agents."

This is what the shift means:

Context is King: 
We don’t need more content...
We need answers that understand our specific job.

Conversational > Static: 
The move from watching a video 
to interacting with a coach is where the ROI is.

Boardroom Priority: 
Upskilling is no longer an HR footnote. 
It’s the top risk for CEOs.

This isn't just a funding round.

It’s a bet on how companies will learn and communicate for the next decade.

If you think AI is just for generating images or emails, you're missing the 
bigger picture of conversational knowledge.

Big move. 
Watch this space. 🚀
