## Who is Max Pete?

Max Pete helps people and organizations build real connection — whether that's a community that drives business results, a coaching relationship that helps someone figure out what comes next, or writing about the things most people are afraid to say out loud. Everything he does comes back to one thing: helping people feel like they're more than enough.

He has built and led communities for Square, Sprout Social, Origin, and CreativeMornings. He coaches individuals through burnout, career transitions, and identity shifts. He speaks at conferences, keynotes, and team events on belonging, comparison, and showing up as yourself.
