Every month I host Zoom get together for Chapter X, where we share some stories and gain insight from one another. As today’s guest has become a regular participant, I’ve had the privilege of learning more about his unconventional path. 

Peter Emhke has navigated changes that prove there are many opportunities out there waiting for us to discover. While he acknowledges the life he’s lived isn’t for everyone, I’m confident that you’ll agree his experiences have led to many life lessons from which we can all benefit.

In this episode, Peter discusses how he accepts change and shares more on what guides him in life—and the decisions he makes.

We covered:

  • How Peter’s upbringing developed his willingness to embrace change
  • Exploring the magic that comes with new beginnings and endings
  • Why he decided to reinvent himself as a consultant 
  • What challenges Peter experienced during the first three years of retirement
  • Breaking from the mentality of needing to be busy all the time
