A veteran of the tech conference scene, Peter brought his unique POV — and love of hot dogs — to his conversation with us at The Lively Grit Daily House. 

We talked about prescription sunglasses, acceptable hot dog toppings, getting his dog on The Today Show, how the Irish say things are cool, “raw data” from strangers, what he saw at CES ‘25, a crawling bedside table lamp, and a lot in between. 

“ I think it's important to be cool and in your own sense of cool and in your own skin and in your own mind.  Some people's brand is just straight nerdy, straight geeky, and they make it work. Look at Bill Gates, right?”
