Most leaders chase outside success and lose touch with who they truly are. Peggy helps people reconnect with their inner wisdom to lead with purpose—and thrive.

Have you ever followed all the “rules” of success—yet still felt something was missing?

Peggy O’Neal knows that feeling well. After more than a decade as a successful lawyer, Peggy took a bold step: she walked away from the traditional path to follow a deeper calling.

In this powerful episode of Knack 4 Business, Peggy sits down with hosts Bernie Franzgrote and Wayne Pratt to share her inspiring journey. From leaving law to founding Democracy is Us, Peggy dives into how we can all tap into the wisdom that’s already inside us—and why doing so can unlock clarity, confidence, and real success.

Peggy believes we’re all born with inner wisdom—but the noise of business, life, and expectations often drowns it out. In this conversation, she shows us how to listen again.
