Peter Gunn: Air Force Veteran, Poet, and Musician with a Higher Purpose

In this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes U.S. Air Force Veteran Peter Gunn — a bodybuilder, poet, guitarist, and visionary creative on a mission to awaken minds and restore artistry to storytelling.

Peter’s story spans 20 years of honorable military service, a lifelong passion for poetry, and a deep spiritual journey inspired by a near-death experience at age seven. He’s the founder of LLP (Linked-Lyrical-Poetry), creator of The Amazons series — rewriting the hero’s journey through a feminine lens — and the visionary behind the Sigma Squad graphic novel series based on ancient Gnostic texts.

Now, as the lead guitarist for The Angellics, Peter blends philosophy, poetry, and rock to explore themes of awakening, courage, and Consciousness. Their debut album Hazing Hades dropped on August 17, 2025, marking another chapter in his creative evolution.
