What happens when you hit your breaking point—not once, but twice—and still keep climbing?

Today on The Other Side of Success, I sit down with David Peterson, founder of Coach P Consulting and father of four, to unpack how he built a debt-free team of 40+, hit the industry's highest honors, and turned his toughest moments into momentum.

In this raw, honest conversation, David opens up about:

  • The nine-month review that almost ended his agency career

  • His year six burnout and why he disappeared to a cabin in rural Texas

  • How he scaled to 7+ businesses without losing his marriage or himself

  • Why he doesn’t care about legacy—and what truly drives him instead

  • Building culture, delegating with purpose, and why “you are the bottleneck”

This episode is for anyone who’s ever questioned if they’re cut out for this—especially when the world says, “you’re not coachable.”
