Previously a product leader at Roblox, Peter spent years climbing the traditional career ladder before walking away from a seven figure tech career to bet on himself and build his creator business full-time. And he did it all so he could spend time on what mattered most… his family.\nHe’s the dad of two daughters, ages eight and four, and his wife is an engineer at Microsoft. They’re figuring out how to raise curious, resilient kids while navigating careers, technology, and a rapidly changing, AI-fueled world. We discussed:\nWalking away from a seven figure tech career: Why Peter left Roblox to bet on himself, and how trying to juggle a demanding job with his creator business was hurting both.\nBeing more present with his daughters: How walking his eight-year-old to school and putting his phone away helped Peter create more focused, meaningful time with his kids.\nBreaking out of the traditional career script: How Peter’s immigrant upbringing, Ivy League path, and years in consulting, banking, and tech shaped a definition of success he eventually started to question.\nTeaching kids to build with AI: How Peter’s eight-year-old used Codex and voice commands to build her own game from scratch, and what that taught him about creativity, communication, and the future of learning.\nRaising kids with agency and resilience: Why Peter wants his daughters to learn how to build, sell, fail, communicate clearly, and pursue the things they genuinely enjoy.\nRemembering that family matters more than the career ladder: Why Peter is spending more time with his aging parents, preserving their stories for his daughters, and rethinking what kind of legacy actually matters.\nWhere to find Peter Yang\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petergyang/ \nX: https://x.com/petergyang\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PeterYangYT\n\n\nWhere to find...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/F_yCls74GdKLzmfCUXKoHwqOZKN_mFb5zL7jtAWlzzU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYjMx/Yzg1NmIzMjBiZmE4/ZGFiM2ZjMjQ2Yjcy/OTY2OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
