Summary

My talk with Peter Hunt was both very exciting and enlightening. Peter has had some incredible life experiences and shares how he dove the Andrea Doria, flew A-6 Intruders for the Navy, and about his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease which ended his career as a commercial pilot.

Peter shares the lessons and growth these experiences have provided for him to help us all embrace our own personal challenges. We all have struggles. Hold yours close, learning, living, and loving with this integral part of you.
