#124 When $140M Isn't Enough: Redefining Success from the Inside Out with Peter Kennedy

Peter Kennedy built and sold Tagger Media for $140 million. On paper, he had everything. In reality, he was chasing his grandfather's identity and running from the belief that he was fundamentally broken. The day after closing the deal, he woke up deeply depressed, realizing that all the success in the world couldn't fill the void inside. In this raw conversation, Peter shares his journey from fear-driven CEO to conscious leader building an AI company that puts employee growth above profits. This isn't just another success story … it's a blueprint for what happens when you stop running from yourself and start building from who you really are. Here's what we dive into: 🔹 The moment he realized no one cared about his $140M win and what that taught him about validation 🔹 The identity trap that keeps successful people feeling like failures inside 🔹 The plant medicine experience that cracked open his fear-based patterns and changed the way he looked at everything 🔹 How his new company operates from love instead of fear and why that's changing lives. If you've ever wondered whether the success you're chasing will actually fulfill you, this conversation will give you permission to redefine what winning really means.   Connect with Peter: Website: https://www.evolveweird.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therememberingbook/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterkennedy182/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.remembering4 About Peter: Peter Kennedy is a father of five, entrepreneur, and author of The Remembering—a raw, immersive memoir chronicling his journey from high-functioning overachiever to awakened, embodied man. He built and led Tagger Media to a $140M acquisition by Sprout Social (NASDAQ: SPT), living a life that looked perfect on paper but felt painfully empty inside. For years, Peter chased success to outrun a deeper truth: beneath the polished image was a boy who believed he had to earn love to be worthy of it. Everything changed during a temazcal ceremony in the jungles of Brazil. That night cracked open the illusion of control and set him on a path of radical surrender and soul-level healing. His journey led him through plant medicine ceremonies (iboga, ayahuasca, psilocybin), somatic therapy, a 10-day darkness retreat, and the dismantling of everything he thought success required. Today, Peter is the co-founder of EvolveWell Inc., an AI-powered platform designed to help coaches support their clients between sessions. At EvolveWell, growth isn’t a buzzword—it’s a business model. The company prioritizes the personal evolution of its team above all else, redefining what conscious business can look and feel like.   Connect with Genea: [free guide] Grow Your Business and Love Doing it with the 3 secrets the business gurus NEVER talk about: http://bethewolfgift.com/ Website: http://bethewolfnow.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geneabarnes/
