026: Leaving Wall Street to Become a Cage Fighter in Peru with Rollie Peterkin
Today’s guest is Rollie Peterkin, and he has one of the most interesting, insane and inspiring life stories of anyone I’ve ever talked with. I don’t want to give anything away because his story is that good but know that Rollie was an Ivy League wrestler who graduated and started trading bonds on Wall Street. Rollie was doing very well and making good money, but his life completely changed when he took a trip to Peru to visit a college friend…
He is now an author and has a YouTube Channel about travel, living abroad and meeting new people.
On Today’s Episode, Rollie and I Discuss:
- Telling coworkers, friends, and family, he was quitting his job on Wall Street to fight in Peru
- Rollie’s first professional fight
- The story of Rollie getting stuck in a swamp in the Amazon
- What Rollie has learned from taking a crazy route in life
- And much more…
