The Truth Takes Time: Peter Joynt

Unlonely with Dr. Jody Carrington

an MC, producer, and public speaker from Ottawa, Canada. The Joynt has been making music for over two decades. He has worked on projects for organizations like the Ottawa Senators, RogersTV and Ottawa Tourism. He has also performed for distinguished individuals such as the Governor General of Canada.

One intriguing fact about Peter is that he stutters quite noticeably in conversation, yet it disappears when he performs. It’s one of the many interesting characteristics that sets him apart as an artist and public speaker.

The Joynt made waves in November 2011 when he released the single Capcity – a love song about Ottawa. The video went viral and landed Peter on the front page of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper. The news story was broadcast nationwide on radio and television, and brought considerable attention to the Joynt’s music.

That attention propelled Peter into the community as a public speaker. He now speaks regularly to students at local schools about bullying, self-acceptance, and resiliency. He has spoken at over 200 schools and almost 100 conventions and seminars.

In this episode Dr. Jody and Peter chat all about living life with a stutter, making music and how he is changing the world on speaking session at a time.
