My Journey

Confidence to do what I do comes from a very raw place.

“A lot of people assume people like me stand up and talk, and it comes from a place of confidence and talent. But that’s simply not true. It’s taken me many many years to find my voice, make mistakes, and build up to the place where I am today.”

“There are some public speakers who bring a lot of bravado and theatrics. But I try to avoid gimmicks and keep it honest, authentic, and tell stories and show content that connects with the audience.”

Pete Trainor, 2018

Better Things

We’ve got to use the gifts that we have to drop the ladder. Over the years I’ve come to realise that this world is just a place for us to learn that we need each other more than we want to admit. Which is why I give as much time as I can to better things.
