Shaun Peet played hockey for Dartmouth College and went on to play eight years of professional hockey before he completely changed paths, pivoting to become a jackman in a top-level NASCAR pit crew. It sounds crazy, but his story illustrates how he effortlessly flows from one part of his life to another. He is also the co-founder of Deck Leadership and co-authored “12 Second Culture.” Shaun is proof that we don’t have to do one thing our whole life, and he’ll share how the lessons he’s learned from his professions in hockey and NASCAR that you can use to accelerate your own life.
