Meet Chad Peevy
Chad Peevy is a best-selling author, award-winning speaker, and transformational coach whose life and work are rooted in a deep commitment to service, growth, and human potential.
Getting a start on life in rural Arkansas, Chad’s early years were marked by silence and struggle. Growing up gay in a conservative environment, he developed a profound sensitivity to the barriers that keep people from becoming who they truly are. That personal journey shaped his mission: to help others break free from limitation and discover what they’re truly capable of.
Chad is the founder of The Agent School, a coaching and training platform that has supported thousands of real estate professionals around the world. He is also the author of Break & Untangle, a deeply personal and practical guide for healing internal narratives and stepping into a life of purpose and leadership.
Beyond his work in business and personal development, Chad has been a passionate advocate for community and the arts. He founded the Austin Pride Foundation, co-founded the PS Foundation for the Arts, and has spent over a decade supporting young musicians through summer camps and nonprofit programs. His commitment to access and equity runs through every aspect of his work—from boardrooms to classrooms to main stages.
Through the Institute, Chad is creating something bigger: a space where people can be seen, supported, and empowered to not only change their lives—but to ripple that change outward into families, communities, and industries.
For Chad, this isn’t just about coaching—it’s about creating a movement of service, opportunity, and transformation.
