In this episode, Peter catches up with Peyton Stanley — a former student who skipped 8th grade, started college at 16, and had her first semester derailed by a car accident that totaled her car and landed her in physical therapy. Rather than stay at a school that didn't feel right, she made a bold call: transfer mid-year to Gainesville, sign a lease sight-unseen off Facebook Marketplace, and start fresh.
Payton and Peter talk about what it was like being the youngest kid in the room for most of high school, how finding a real friend group her senior year changed everything, and why getting an OCD diagnosis in 2026 felt less like a label and more like a key that finally unlocked something.
She's now studying APK at Santa Fe with her eyes on PT school — and along the way, she's picked up a philosophy that's hard to argue with: your 5-year plan can change in half a second. Make the decision anyway.
Catching Up — where conversations don't end when the bell rings.
