EO Series #13 - The Unconventional Path: How Peter Carved His Niche in the World - Peter Davos My First Business

“You think education is expensive? Try ignorance. Education is the only thing they can never take away from you.”

Peter, a man of multifaceted experiences, shares a glimpse into his life's journey. From dealing with family expectations to chasing his own dreams, Peter spills the beans on how he navigated the twists and turns of generational legacies and the pursuit of individual identity. ✨

After working in the family business for six years, he realized he wanted to get out of his father’s shadow. So, he moved out to another continent and created his own path despite the disapproval from his father.🧔‍♂️

From there, he founded Hale Education Group in 2012, a Dubai-based company who assists students in their university preparation, application and admissions journeys, with a particular focus on the USA. 🧑🏼‍🏫

Peter wins the 🏆 ‘Most Enthusiastic & Energetic Guest Ever’ Award from me - he had me in fits with hilarious stories about his father, before switching to some real-life practical philosophies on how to become your best self. You’ll be left on the floor laughing one moment, and completely inspired the next. What a roller-coaster this conversation was!
