Peter stepped in and went against his own dad in order to save his mother's life. A man who he loved more than the oxygen he breathed, broke his collarbone in three places, and gave him six stitches over his eye.

Often, this will inhibit people from truly seeking their reasons why because they are seeking approval. Peter shares with you his personal experiences and how he found his reasons why. Peter will provoke the audience to look within themselves for their reasons why.
