Michael "Chief" Peterson is a motivational speaker who did a presentation at my daughter's school a few months back. The program was so impactful, my daughter said "dad, you need to interview the Chief...he was amazing." She was right...this man was an absolutely tremendous guest to have on the Building Men Podcast.

Michael "Chief" Peterson marries social consciousness with mellow poetic verses. Born and raised in New Britain, CT, he declares himself a man dedicated to his family and focused on helping our youth. Chief not only speaks about social inequities and individual struggle, but he acts to change the cycle. Chief is the playwright of and actor in his one-man show, I Wish Life Had Training Wheels. He was appointed as the first ever Poet Laureate of his hometown, New Britain Connecticut in which he was recently voted into a second term. He appeared on Seasons 4,5, & 6 of the TvOne hit series, Lexus’ Verses and Flow. He is the consecutive three time Connecticut Spoken Word Grand Slam Champion. He finished in 5th place during the National Poetry Slam and currently among the top 5 ranked poets in the Southern Fried National Poetry slam.
