Most people probably think that having billionaire investor, Warren Buffett, as a father would make life far from average. But as Peter explains in Life Is What You Make It, the only "real" thing handed down from his parents was the philosophy: 'forge your own path in life'.
From a musician's perspective, he discusses the journey his career has taken, and how every person should pursue their dreams, no matter what background they might come from.
To refresh your memory, Peter's music spans almost 30 years-- from composing MTV's original audio-branded logos, to the memorable "Fire Dance" scene in Dances With Wolves, to 15 studio albums. He is also known for his philanthropic music collaborations, which includes singles (released monthly on his online Ning community) benefiting environmentalism, education and the elimination of human trafficking.
