EP 147- Pedro Meneses: Blessings with Opportunity and Stewardship
If you are paying attention to the historical timeline in your life, there are growth patterns you'll notice. Some are interrupted by revelations along the way that allow you to switch direction from your intended focus. At times, they seem like the only choice, and sometimes, they were the best choice. As human beings on a journey in this lifetime, for those of us who have awakened to the fact we're alive, we have a responsibility to become a better version of ourselves. It's not enough to simply be good with good enough. There's always room for improvement. In this episode, Pedro takes a reflective look at where he started in his life in his early 20s as a spoiled party boy living life high on the hog. When he moved to Dallas back in the fall of 2019, Pedro didn't realize he would be on a mission to transform his life. He had started a digital marketing agency and then pivoted into real estate where he began to grow a team. He wasn't enjoying that model, so he made a different decision and stayed in Real Estate, but decided to do it differently. Today, Pedro reflects back on all of the challenges he's faced and the gratitude he feels in realizing that his personal development journey has led him to one place that surround him with millionaires and billionaires. He has recognized the level of hard work, tenacity, and the number or repetitions required to stay focused and keep plowing through the distractions of this world. If you're going to be a beast in your family, life, and command the treasures of this world, you have to become someone who can manage all of that by becoming a good steward. It's imperative you answer the call to personal responsibility and getting into the rooms of those who have more experience, wisdom, and who have been charged with being great stewards of wealth and success.

EP 146- Pedro Meneses: The Truth About Entrepreneurship
There are a lot of fake people running around in the world. Many of them are appropriating lifestyles of the rich and famous with luxury cars, watches, mansions, lavish trips, and flashing money as if they've "made it." Some of them identify as "self-made," and others say they're "entrepreneurs." The truth is, most of them are full of shit. They're the modern-day version of beachfront property-selling real estate agents in Arizona. Many of them are fakes and they're trying to separate you from their money by offering their courses, promoting their investment schemes, or trying to coax you into coaching with them for the next 5 years to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. When it comes to the hierarchy of badasses, Entrepreneurs are some of the toughest people on the planet. It would be easier for them to take a nice fat salaried job, working 9-5, but they want more. The reason.......they can handle more. More pressure, more tasks, more risks, and more uncertainty than the average person. In order to be a true entrepreneur, you have to have a vision bigger than yourself. They have to be willing to put others before themselves, even if it means they don't get paid for a few months. They pour their time, energy, attention and talents back into the business. It requires them to be leaders. There is little to no room for mistakes, and there's a huge margin for learning lessons to get the experience to become the authority that builds relationships to support their endeavors. This episode provides a great perspective on what it takes to become someone that can be known, liked, and trusted in the world.

Losses in business and friendship will occur, but if you just keep going one more step using everything you have within you, you'll be unstoppable. So what does it take to attain greatness? Producing content for social media every single day. It's the quickest way to reach the masses. It's where you'll find all the eyeball and attention you need to allow people to get to know you. Like you. Trust you. Tell them about your goals. Dreams. Visions for your life. Greatness requires you knowing what it takes to prepare and then do 1% better every day. It's not enough to simply close your eyes and want or wish for something. It takes a dogmatic approach to doing the little things which become the bigger things, which then turn into the greatest thing you've been trying to create. Whatever you do, don't quit. Winners never quit. They just become great!

EP 143- If You're Everywhere, You Can't Be Anywhere
Things change constantly in life. Technology speeds up this process and things happen faster and faster compared to any time in human history. Last week, Meta released their version of Twitter called "Threads." That's not the only thing that happened, either. Pedro and his wife Kayla learned they are having a girl, and even picked out a name. Such is the essence of life. A thought is inspired to action. Action creates motion, and motion creates movement and impact. In this episode, Pedro shares the initial iteration of Chronicles of a Modern Beast which was called the Business Brewing Show. While he was gaining popularity with it in helping fellow brewers market better, he had this nagging voice in the back of his head that told him to get his real estate license. It wouldn't go away. His previous podcast wasn't converting into clients you would expect from growing popularity, so Pedro listened to his voice. In this episode, Pedro shares the importance of staying focused on the main things. Being on social media can be a huge distraction if you're not carefully managing your time. There are people who are on all of the platforms, but don't have the followers or financial success to equate to the time and attention invested on them. Pedro shares a profound perspective on the importance of why it's important to streamline where you focus your attention and keep the main thing, the main thing.

Poverty is a great motivator for many people to get their ass in gear. For most, it has become a mindset they’ve taken with them well into their lives, never progressing beyond where they started.

He’s also the co-host of one of the most powerful podcasts out in business today: Real Business Owners. Pedro takes a deep dive with Trevor on the game of life discussing poverty, living below your means, drugs, and the process of cleansing your mind and spirit so one can truly decide what it is they want out of this life. Trevor shares his journey to an actual mountain where he sweated out his 7-year addiction to drugs. He talks candidly about what he was willing to do to pull himself out of a rough start in life.

FAVORITE QUOTE: “There’s a lot of people making $150,000-$200,000 a year that are living off of that. They don’t make any investments and they’re living paycheck to paycheck. They have all the houses, the vacations, the cars, the trucks, the boats, you know all the cool stuff, so it looks like they’re making millions of dollars, but they really make $200,000 per year and they’re living like they make $200,000 per year. But if that individual took a backseat to the lifestyle for 5 years, they might not ever have to work again.” -Trevor Cowley Connect with Trevor: How to Get Involved: From rock bottom and $500 to his name, Pedro Meneses moved to the US, leaving everything behind seeking answers to turn his life around, becoming an entrepreneur, and thriving in business.

EP 136- Pedro Meneses: The Advancement Into Maturity
Sometimes, the truth hurts, but it needs to be heard and spoken. There are so many people who have forgotten one of the biggest commandments in the Bible...............You Shall Have No Other Idols above me. It's one of the 7 Deadly sins to covet or want to put someone or anything above the Creator, God, the Universe, or whatever you want to call it. Our society has become sickened with spending money for access to information and then taking no action with it. That's wasteful. It's a pattern many follow and many of those people are broke. I hear people say they want to be millionaires, but they're not doing the things they need to do to become a millionaire. It requires consistency, dedication, and the willingness to sacrifice. If you want more, you have to become more. It requires acquiring the skillsets to be a better manager of your resources. Only doing thing things that will return you an effective result. There is no human being walking this earth that is better than you. Has access to more information than you. If you ever have trouble sorting through all of this, you can always reach out to me. I'm happy to have a conversation with you. Life is a lot simpler when you get committed to what you're committed to daily, weekly, and monthly. The next step is simply putting your head down and doing the work. #StayHard #LiveHard How To Get Involved: From rock bottom and $500 to his name, Pedro Meneses moved to the US, leaving everything behind seeking answers to turn his life around, becoming an entrepreneur, and thriving in business.

EP 133- Pedro Meneses- Our Obligation to Accountability and Self-Discipline
We are all born into a system. It doesn't matter what country, or state we were born in, and it doesn't matter the socioeconomic conditions. Being born is the leveling field. Once we get here, wherever we land is where we get injected into "the system." The one thing we have is a choice. The choice to make decisions. The mind is the one thing that cannot be caged unless you choose it. Many of us spend half our lives deciding if we're going to live in "the system," or take different paths. Some work 9-5 jobs and are quite content living a hum-drum existence, and others are constantly weaving and moving through life, climbing over obstacles to see what we can see on the other side of the wall of life. Some are rooted and driven by purpose, money, power, prestige, lust, and a multitude of other earthly motivators. But there are some that are not easily seduced by the things of this earth. They are entrepreneurs. The good ones are driven by purpose. They've answered the call of obligation only weaved in their DNA. The type of obligation to congregate to help those answer their calls to service, stoicism, in benevolence, and with the highest level of accountability unknown by any other being than God Himself. Everything starts with self-accountability. What You'll Learn: The importance of self-accountability Why it's necessary to take care of our finances, health, time, and our circle Powerful ways to get on track and a system for keeping yourself accountable How to find the discipline necessary to stay focused, and consistent Managing negative self-talk that takes us off track and away from hitting our goals Why it's necessary for us to work with other like-minded people and entrepreneurs to help them in their journeys Favorite Quote: "People think that other people owe them shit and they don't take accountability for their actions." -Pedro Meneses How To Get Involved: From rock bottom and $500 to his name, Pedro Meneses moved to the US, leaving everything behind seeking answers to turn his life around, becoming an entrepreneur, and thriving in business.

EP 132- Pedro Meneses: The Importance of Clarity
In this day of distractions and turmoil, it's so important to keep a tight grip on clarity. This starts with you asking yourself a simple question.......What do you want? If you're not clear on this, everything you don't want is coming for you. The opposing forces of everything you don't want are going to come in fast like a sledgehammer looking to create destruction and keep you from getting back up on your feet. Be clear about what you want. Write it down. It doesn't have to be perfect but put something down that you want in your life. It can be something in business, your personal life such as your marriage, fitness, or maybe you're focused on taking that dream vacation you've always talked about taking. No matter what it is, write it down. In order to do this, you have to get out of your comfort zone. Key Lessons Take time to download thoughts and gain clarity Master the basics Improve by one percent every day Summary In this episode, Pedro talks about the importance of getting creative, stepping out of your comfort zone, and being defiantly defiant about not allowing anything to steal your clarity.

Take time to gain clarity and focus by stepping back and taking a break. Take a weekend off if necessary, and write down your thoughts to download your thoughts and gain clarity. Take time to download your thoughts, remind yourself why you started, and align daily actions to get closer to your goal. Focus on the basics and stick to what you've become good at Delegate the other stuff you're not good at and take it one day at a time. Focus on what you need to do today and don't lose your focus.

EP 130- Pedro Meneses- Set the Standard
This episode, Pedro shares something that happen to him where someone "influential," a "leader-type" took a swing at him on social media. His initial reaction was to react with emotion, but he soon realized the reflection of what he saw was not from him, but from that person. Pedro does a deep dive this episode on a very important focus right now in the world. Standards. They seem to be a thing of the past. When you live too much in the gray, things become unclear, cloudy, and in many cases confusing. It opens up society to accept things that were once thought to be against social norms. They normalize behaviors that go against the very grain of our DNA. In this Chronicles, Pedro outlines a few important themes and discusses standards we've set for ourselves around: Our faith Physical well-being and health Friendships Relationships with our spouses Our Children Future generations This is a thought-provoking episode that asks the questions every person should be asking themselves in this big wide ocean of chaos and immorality. Everything starts with standards. Everything begins and ends with the foundation. The main layer in that foundation is having standards. Rules to live by. Depending on the standards you set to determine the reality of the life you're living. Are you living the best life you can be living? Only you can answer that question. By the end of this episode, you'll have some clarity on the standards you can set for yourself starting today.

EP 129 - Brandon Brittingham: In a World Full of Karens, Be a Gorilla
I wanted to recognize Brandon because he is not the average person. Brandon knows the reality of hardship and sacrifice. His goal is to help other families find a home that they will enjoy for the rest of their lives. Living in poverty has caused challenges for many people over the course of history, and those that are able to escape it and improve the quality of their lives did it successfully by doing one simple thing………working their asses off. Brandon Brittingham has known poverty and he used the lessons it taught including grit, tenacity, and a dogged work ethic to propel him to where he is today. Brandon is a serial entrepreneur, Co-Founder/Owner/CEO at the Maryland and Delaware Group of Long & Foster. He is the head coach for Elite Opts Real Estate Coaching and a savvy Real Estate Investor. He currently heads up the #1 Real Estate Team in Maryland and the #5 team in the United States in homes sold. To say he’s an overachiever is an understatement. He’s a f#cking gorilla. In this episode, Pedro and Brandon talk about what it takes to make it in any business you’re in starting with your mindset. They share a disdain for the “Trophy Club” winners, creating opportunities for yourself, the power of making money, and what it represents. Brandon takes a deep dive into part of his journey that led him to realize one of the most important things about this world when it comes to “freedom.” Pedro and Brandon discuss how to recruit for your team, and what it means to co-exist in a world full of Karens by simply being a gorilla.

The revelation in his life was when he learned his business partner committed suicide. One thing that pisses Brandon off about the Real Estate industry and the people in it is The attitude Brandon takes when it comes to approaching life, relationships, and business Why fighting was necessary for Brandon to build his Real Estate empire A real-time example of the type of person that doesn’t belong on your team How it’s not enough to simply “manifest” what you want in the world Brandon’s revelation about the so-called “Illuminati” Creating residual income is not built without doing a certain level of work The work required to remove yourself from the grind if you’re going to be successful Stark contrasts between pro athletes, coaches and why everyone should have a coach whether they’re playing sports or not The Principle of the Greater Good Skills Brandon earned and learned that contributed to his overall success And much more!
