What happens when you walk away from the peak of a successful private equity career to answer a spiritual calling? In this episode of Temple Bound, we sit down with Peter Sturgeon, CEO of Mentors International, to discuss his profound shift from wealth-building to world-building.
Peter shares how a mission to India first broke his heart for the poor and how, years later, a series of powerful temple revelations guided him and his wife, Sarah, to "jump off the cliff" and dedicate their lives to entrepreneurship-based poverty alleviation. We explore the true meaning of the Law of Consecration, stories of staggering sacrifice from Saints in India and Kenya, and why the temple is the ultimate place to receive revelation—not just for our own problems, but for the needs of our global neighbors.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The Pivot to Purpose: How Peter transitioned from a high-stakes business career to leading a global charity without looking back.
- Temple Revelation: The specific advice from a patriarch that helped Peter balance a grueling global travel schedule with his role as a father of five.
- Consecration vs. Sacrifice: Why Peter views the Law of Consecration as a "key to happiness" rather than a burden of guilt.
