"Do Better Things."

Talks, Panels and Interviews

A selection of keynotes, panel discussions and interviews from events around the world.

Stories Worth Telling

I consider my position of being asked to talk to audiences, big and small, all over the world an absolute privilege and an honour. To be able to tell the stories I do and have people interact with me is truly remarkable. I don't take that for granted because I know it won't last forever. For now, while I'm here doing what I do, I'll have fun and bring something unique to an event every time.

You'll find a selection of my videos from the last few years on this page. I usually average about 30 keynotes a year. Every story I tell comes from a real place, is meticulously planned and factually based. I try to experiment with the audience's emotions as much as possible and speak openly and honestly about my own experiences.

Pete is an amazing speaker who will delight an audience large or small, and remains the only man I've ever seen bring a room to tears at a technology conference. Any opportunity to watch him speak is one to be taken with both hands.
