Peter Flynn Part 2: ”No Absolutes!!” The man who lives his life through flexibility, love, and gratitude.

*This episode is a re-air of a conversation that originally took place in 2018.* Peter Flynn (TW:@peterflynn212)(peterflynndirector.com) is an accomplished director in NYC. He has worked on many projects all of which can be seen on his website. Peter and I have a wonderfully candid conversation regarding work/life ethics. We cover his upbringing and what he learned from his youth all the way through current projects that teach him the most about himself. He lives in many mantra's two of them being "Try thank you" and "No absolutes." Both of these speak very loudly to me. I hope this conversation speaks loudly to you. Enjoy!
