I’m Peter Kennedy, a father of five, entrepreneur, author of The Remembering, and a man who once believed success was the cure for emptiness. For years, I built companies, chased accolades, and eventually led my startup, Tagger Media, to a $140M exit through its acquisition by Sprout Social (NASDAQ: SPT). From the outside, I had it all. But inside, I was running—running from pain, from vulnerability, from the little boy I had buried beneath a carefully curated identity.

I’m Peter Kennedy, a father of five, entrepreneur, author of The Remembering, and a man who once believed success was the cure for emptiness. For years, I built companies, chased accolades, and eventually led my startup, Tagger Media, to a $140M exit through its acquisition by Sprout Social (NASDAQ: SPT). From the outside, I had it all. But inside, I was running—running from pain, from vulnerability, from the little boy I had buried beneath a carefully curated identity.

My life was a high-functioning performance driven by fear—fear of not being enough, of not being lovable unless I proved it a thousand ways over. It wasn’t until a temazcal ceremony in the jungles of Brazil cracked me open that I began to see: I wasn’t in control, and I never had been.

That moment sparked a radical unraveling. I surrendered to the truth beneath the armor, faced the parts of myself I’d exiled, and began the long road back to wholeness—not through hustle, but through healing. What followed were a series of initiations: plant medicine ceremonies (iboga, ayahuasca, psilocybin), deep somatic therapy, a 10-day darkness retreat, and an unflinching confrontation with everything I thought made me successful—but was actually keeping me small.

Today, I am the co-founder of EvolveWell Inc., an AI-powered platform designed to help coaches support their clients between. At EvolveWell, we’re not just building software—we’re redefining what business should feel like: human, conscious, and in service to wholeness. We put the personal growth of our employees above profits.

I also work with men who are ready to evolve beyond “not enough” and into deep alignment with who they truly are. My story isn’t about escaping the business world. It’s about transforming within it—awake, embodied, and free.
