Ep. 190 Peter Carrillo - Invest in Hope!

In this powerful and heart-centered episode of Conversations with Buddy, we sit down with Peter from Liberty House to talk about purpose, community, and the life-changing work happening right here in the Mid-Valley. 💙

Peter shares his journey growing up in Silverton and how meaningful it is to now serve the very community that helped shape him.

Peter also gives us a glimpse into his personal life—married for over a decade to his incredible wife, and living in Keizer where he stays deeply involved in the community. Whether it’s serving on the board of the Keizer Rotary Club or contributing to the Ash Creek Art Center, Peter lives out his passion for bringing people together to make a difference. 🤝✨

One of the most impactful parts of this conversation is how Peter connects his background in wrestling to his work today. 🥇 The discipline, focus, and commitment to hard work he learned on the mat translate directly into the mission at Liberty House. It’s about showing up, staying focused, and fighting for those who need a voice the most. 💪

We dive deep into the critical work Liberty House is doing—responding to over 1,500 confirmed cases of child abuse, providing trauma-informed care, and using drama-focused therapy to help children heal. ⚠️ This episode includes a content warning as we discuss sensitive topics, but it’s a conversation that matters.

Peter emphasizes the importance of shining a light on these issues, having tough conversations, and empowering the community to step in and be part of the solution. 💡

As we highlight… April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, Peter shares how initiatives like “Invest in Hope” are creating real impact and building stronger, safer communities. 🌟

This episode will inspire you to lean in, be aware, and take action where it matters most. ❤️

About Buddy Puckett:
Buddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and mentoring men for over 25 years. A mentoring opportunity all started when he first began in the mortgage industry in 1998, when he began to mentor a younger guy who happened to be married. This person was not making great choices and it was sadly affecting his marriage. We all are 1 decision away from something really dumb, so accountability became something Buddy knew he needed as well. Buddy’s wife, Shawn, suggested he start a podcast in 2022 to share the stories of people who have struggled,
failed, overcame by realizing the life of love, joy and peace is only available through a relationship with Jesus Christ!

“Jesus said to him, ’I am the way, and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me’.” John 14:6
