Peter Sage is a motivational speaker, international serial entrepreneur and an expert on human behaviour. He is a 6 time Tedx speaker and has shared the stage with Sir Richard Branson and Elon Musk. He is also the recipient of the BrandLaureate Award and was named one of the greatest leaders and entrepreneurs by Inspiring Leadership Now.
In 2017, Peter served a 6 month prison sentence for contempt of court. He was the only civil prisoner serving a sentence inside HMP Pentonville, statistically the most violent prison in the UK at the time, despite him never being charged with or convicted of a crime. In this episode we speak about the incredible work Peter did in prison to help fellow incarcerated individuals, including creating a 'new prisoner welcome booklet', which is now being used in many prisons around the world. We also speak about how he remained positive in such a negative place, the importance of raising one's consciousness in prison and not just their level of education, and his book 'The Inside Track' which contains 11 letters he wrote to his coaching group while in prison. Peter won a Koestler Award for the work he did in prison.
