Episode Notes

Peter Corbett is the founder of iStrategyLabs, a digital agency he bootstrapped out of apartment. In 7 years, Peter grew his company from 0  to 100 employees, landed 35 Fortune 500 brands as clients, and generated $20MM in revenue with no investors. In 2016, Peter sold iStrategyLabs to WPP, the world’s largest publicly traded marketing services company. 

After selling his company, Peter went on a journey to find his authentic self. This work included working with the dying as a Zen hospice practitioner. Practicing cold exposure by climbing a Poland mountain in negative 31 chills with just a bathing suit. And experiencing nature immersion by participating in a two week survival course in a Utah desert with only a water bottle, a blanket, a knife, and the clothes on his back.

These rich experiences has led Peter to his calling: coaching CEOs and facilitating leadership mindfulness retreats. In this episode, we talk about his deep commitment to transforming leaders through mindfulness practices. And how by doing so, leaders can cause less harm to themselves and others, including in their personal and professional relationships.
