About

We all love to tell personal stories of adversity and triumph, but how do they prepare us to navigate an unpredictable future? Entrepreneur Andrew Peek believes that our life stories limit us. "Are we wrapped in the warmth of the story we've been writing for decades? The further we are into a story, the less likely we are to want to rewrite it." In this talk, Peek suggests that we "let go of what should be for what is" and allow ourselves to grow without self-imposed constraints.
