Peter Orozco reflected on the critical moment that changed his life. He described how his reactionary decision to increase his medication, driven by desperation rather than Wisdom, led to severe consequences. This became an important lesson about making thoughtful decisions and the value of community support in overcoming life’s challenges. 

Peter’s journey from a near-fatal health crisis to a successful career in public administration and nonprofit leadership is deeply rooted in his commitment to community building. After recovering from his coma and struggling with financial and health challenges, Peter found solace, support and direction through the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS). 

Peter’s experience with the NSLS illuminated the transformative power of social learning communities. He emphasized how being part of a Success Networking Team (SNT) played a crucial role in his recovery and professional development. In these teams, small groups of individuals share their goals and provide mutual support, feedback, and connections. Peter credited this community-driven approach for helping him regain his footing, access health insurance, and continue his Education.

This week, you’ll learn about the harrowing near death experience Peter endured, why he is so passionate about community learning initiatives and the importance of being truly present with mindfulness in your life.

Corey Andrew Powell Cultural Commentator / Content Producer

Hey there! My name is Corey Andrew Powell. I'm a creative chameleon with a knack for donning multiple hats. From crafting compelling copy and producing engaging content to rocking the mic as a podcast host and weaving musical magic, I've got a diverse skill set that keeps things interesting.

My journey kicked off in 2011 at The Vitamin Shoppe, where I started as a copywriter and quickly found myself caught up in the whirlwind of rebranding campaigns, product development, and retail store expansions. Two years of hard work later, I proudly stepped into the role of Manager of Marketing Copy, steering the ship through the exciting waters of marketing creativity.

After three years of freelancing, in 2019 I joined the incredible team at the National Society of Leadership & Success ( NSLS), stepping into the role of Content Manager and Content Producer for the nation's largest leadership honor society, with over 1.3 million inspiring members.

In 2021 I became the proud host of the NSLS's beloved podcast, 'Motivational Mondays'! How cool is that? In my debut episode, I had the absolute honor of chatting with Tokyo Olympics silver-medalist Raven 'The Hulk' Saunders. We dove deep into the world of professional sports and had a heart-to-heart about the importance of mental health. Our audience has grown exponentially to over 250,000 listeners and subscribers.

My creative life has been an incredible journey thus far, and I’m always intrigued by what the future holds.
