Chasing Common Ground: Lifestyle Conversations with Chris Liddle


Episode 90 - Pete McGregor

December 29, 2019

Pete is originally from Glasgow Scotland, moving to Edmonton at a young age he lived a typical young boy life until an impaired driver and a multi-vehicle accident changed his life. After many phases of life as a highly competitive wheel chair basketball athlete and later as a post secondary student trying to live that 9-5 life, Pete McGregor now trains out of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in San Diego. He's a high performer who works his ass off. He trains harder than anyone he faces, often having to compete with more able bodied people and sets himself apart in how he shows up in the world despite what could easily be deemed as a viable excuse. He fights excuses.  
That's not to say that he doesn't have the struggles that other people have with finding motivation. It's not to say that he feels ready to kick ass day in and day out, or that he doesn't hear that negative voice in his head telling him to just mail it in or quit. 
We talk about all that in this episode as well as the coaches that have impacted him, his core values in life, and places that he's really enjoyed travelling to.
