Before writing I AM FREE, Pete “The Bastard” Ingram was living a fast-paced life driven by business, ambition, pressure, and constant movement. His cancer diagnosis forced him to stop, reflect, and confront parts of himself he had ignored for years. That turning point became the beginning of a complete personal transformation.

Rather than allowing fear to consume him, Pete immersed himself in learning. He researched tirelessly, spoke to doctors and specialists across multiple countries, explored both modern and holistic healing methods, and rebuilt his life around health, discipline, purpose, and emotional clarity. The process changed not only how he viewed illness, but how he viewed life itself.

His writing style reflects exactly who he is: bold, unfiltered, emotional, humorous, and relentlessly honest. He does not hide the fear he experienced, but he also refuses to surrender to it. That balance gives his work a rare authenticity that resonates deeply with readers who are exhausted by overly polished self-help language.

Pete’s larger vision extends beyond the pages of the book. He hopes to create healing-focused wellness centers where people can access education, support, alternative therapies, and practical tools without feeling overwhelmed or alone.
