Peleg Top built a thriving Los Angeles design agency creating album covers for the likes of Capitol Records – then walked away to discover what success really means.

In this conversation he traces a journey from graphic designer to globetrotting seeker, artist and coach, sharing hard-won insights into fear, love, money and the creative spirit.

‘We only have two choices – we can come from fear or we can come from love’ – hear why that distinction matters for every creator in this episode.

Peleg Top is an Israeli-born artist, writer and speaker who spent eighteen years running Top Design, producing more than two hundred album covers and branding for The Grammy Awards and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Hitting every external marker of success, he realised fulfilment was still missing and embarked on a decade-long exploration of personal growth, spirituality and creativity.

Today he lives in Santa Fe, painters’ apron on one day, coaching hat on the next, guiding creative professionals to balance prosperity with self-awareness and to lead from love rather than fear.
