Lastly, Pete is the Co-Founder and Owner of Matter More Coffee, a coffee shop located in Hampstead, NC. The GRAND OPENING was held on March 11, 2020, just two days before the world shut down. However, MMC continues to thrive. By owning two businesses, SmithImpact, and Matter More Coffee, Pete’s content is both practical and inspirational.
From his early days of disappointing his parents by not pursuing law school, to excelling in various roles in education, sales, construction, and athletics, as well as his brief encounter with a near-death experience (survived a stroke), Pete’s presentations are packed with humor, relevant and engaging stories, and practical application that the audience will love.
