Author /motivational speaker/ entrepreneur/podcast host

Peter Meyerhoff is a very rare type. Peter Meyerhoff is a best-selling author, motivational speaker and podcaster, a sober clothing company owner, prison curriculum app developer, husband and father.

As a teenager Peter was involved with hard drugs, which led him to stealing cars, robbing houses and ultimately being sentenced to 12 years of incarceration. As an inmate, Peter was swallowed up by prison politics and soon became a shot-caller. Mired by violence and drug abuse, Peter spent his last 11 months in solitary confinement.

When released, he decided to turn his pain into a drive for success. Peter’s goals are now to motivate people when he speaks using the mental strength he acquired in solitary confinement, helping people get sober, and change the recidivism rate by showing people what’s really possible with the right drive and no excuses.
