Episode Summary:
In this deeply honest and thought‑provoking conversation, Kristen sits down with entrepreneur, teacher, and innovator Pedro Adao to explore what it really means to pursue success without losing yourself in the process.
As a new year begins and goals feel bigger than ever, Kristen and Pedro challenge the idea that clarity comes from striving harder. Instead, they unpack the unseen forces that drive ambition—desperation, identity, fear of loss, and the addiction to validation—and how these can quietly sabotage both business and life.
Pedro shares his powerful personal story of crashing, burning, and rebuilding after losing everything—his money, reputation, and sense of self—and how wisdom, not hustle, became the foundation of his success. Together, they explore concepts like sober success, the “orphan mindset,” why fear of loss creates the very outcomes we’re trying to avoid, and why many entrepreneurs are unknowingly using success as a substitute for worth.
This episode is an invitation to let old versions of yourself die, release what no longer serves you, and step into the new year freer, clearer, and more grounded than ever before.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why desperation and scarcity often masquerade as ambition
- How success can become an addiction—and how to pursue it sober‑minded
- The hidden cost of tying identity to achievement, money, or reputation
- Why fear of loss causes people to make their worst decisions
- What it means to “die to self” in entrepreneurship and leadership
- How losing everything can become the greatest gift
- Why loving people and using business—not the other way around—creates lasting success
- How wisdom, not tactics, leads to peace, clarity, and sustainable growth

Transcript for episode 244: Success, Surrender, and the Spirit of Wisdom with Pedro Adao
Speaker 1 (00:00:03):
I see you with brand new eyes.
Kristen Boss (00:00:20):
You are listening to the Kristen Boss Podcast. I’m your host, Kristen Boss. As a bestselling author and performance coach, I’m on a mission to share about sustainable and purposeful approaches to both business and life. Each week, I bring relevant topics that I believe are necessary to create a life of purpose, significance, and meaning. Entrepreneurship is about so much more than growing your bottom line. It’s about who you are becoming in the process and building a life that is truly extraordinary. Entrepreneurship is really just the beginning. Hey friends, welcome back to another episode of the podcast this week. I have a really special guest that I think you’re going to love hearing from. My newest friend, Pedro, although I feel like we’ve been friends longer, we had a conversation, I don’t know, maybe about a month ago. And honestly, I feel like that conversation should have been recorded.
(00:01:14):
But Alas, here we are. We’re going to do this podcast today, and I feel like it’s incredibly timely because as we get into the new year, this is when people set new intentions, give themselves permission to have maybe bigger goals, bigger dreams. But the number one thing I see people stumble around with is they get lost in the idea of confusion or they go on a journey for clarity, for wisdom. And Pedro is the perfect person to have on this podcast because it just so happens that, well, he is an incredible business owner. He has a lot of success behind him. I’ll be asking him some questions about that, but if you’re seeking clarity and wisdom for the new year, then I think you’ll really enjoy this episode. So Pedro, thanks for being here. I’m so glad you’re here.
Pedro Adao (00:01:58):
Me too. We did have an amazing conversation. That probably should have been recorded, but then again, if it was being recorded, it probably wouldn’t have gone the direction because it was a very … I remember it being a very personal conversation, which I love those. And sometimes those are the best ones that we want people to hear. Yes. But knowing that we’re recording sometimes just changes the vibe a little bit and then it becomes an interview. And I really enjoyed our conversation. I mean, I’ve known of you, you’ve known of me, but it was our first time actually talking. And I felt like we got to know each other at a deep level in an hour. I remember it was an hour, hour and a half. We were like, boom, just instant connection. And I felt like I’ve known you forever. So yeah, this will be fun.
(00:02:50):
Thanks for having me on the show.
Kristen Boss (00:02:51):
Yeah. So tell my audience a little bit about … Maybe we’ll just say your journey over the last five years, because I feel like the last five years for many entrepreneurs could have been five decades. Yes. We’ve obviously been in this space for a really long time, but kind of give the 2020 to 2025 snapshot.
Pedro Adao (00:03:08):
Well, man. I mean, that’s the highlight reel right there. Oh, okay. Well, tell me about that. That’s the highlight reel. 2020 was my unveiling. I felt like I was … Is it Cinderella? Cinderella kind of- Same. Because before 2020, I was doing well. I had a million dollar a year business in the financial industry. And then I felt led to start talking about my faith in business, something I call kingdom entrepreneurship. I really do feel like God tricked me into doing that. I had no plans of being an online person, some kind of online coach or guru. Don’t really resonate with that type of even titles. But really just being transparent, I really do feel like God, through a series of events, kind of led me to start talking about how my faith and how principles, timeless principles of wisdom and timeless principles for how God created the world.
(00:04:10):
And whether you believe in God or not is kind of relevant as long as you somewhat are willing to believe that there was someone somewhere, there was intentional creation and that as long as you’re willing to accept that reality works and there was somehow somewhere that all of what we see and experience has been able to go on for all these years because there are laws, there’s principles, right? As long as you’re willing to accept that there are invisible and spiritual laws of gravity, of nature, of science, then you should get tons of value in this conversation. So I was just talking about how I applied spiritual principles to business in very unique ways, ways that weren’t really being talked about. And then so in 2018, I kind of became this online person, ended up leading a movement of really passionate, faithfulward entrepreneurs. I just solved the problem.
(00:05:13):
I didn’t know how big of an unmet need it was, but I should have known because I was my target market. I had felt very frustrated in church
Speaker 1 (00:05:22):
Culture. You
Pedro Adao (00:05:23):
Always are. I felt very frustrated in the church culture. I felt very unseen as an entrepreneur. And so I ended up launching something that really I needed to, but was a huge success. But in 2020 is when I went from this guy doing a faith-based entrepreneurship thing to becoming the challenge guy, to COVID shut the world down, everyone’s home, offline is dead, and there I was with my brand new challenge model. And so all of these five-day challenges, three-day challenges, seven-day challenges, all of these challenge ads you’ve seen for the last five, six years, that’s my fault. I’m sorry, but I created that-
Kristen Boss (00:06:10):
Thank you. It served me well.
Pedro Adao (00:06:11):
Yeah. I mean, you’re very happy, but people are like, oh my God, my feed’s full of challenges. Well, sorry, but I just created the modern day challenge. I mean, there were challenges being done before, but not the way that I was doing them. And so I was fortunate where I got to teach my model to Dean Graziosi and Tony Robbins, people like Ryan Dice and Roland Frazier, people like Evan Pagan, people like Onyx & Gall. I mean, who else? I mean, I was behind the scenes, I helped Damon John in the Shark Tank.
Kristen Boss (00:06:48):
Oh yeah.
Pedro Adao (00:06:49):
I mean, I could … Dude, I probably helped-
Kristen Boss (00:06:52):
Industry giants.
Pedro Adao (00:06:53):
15, 20 giants
Kristen Boss (00:06:56):
Taught
Pedro Adao (00:06:56):
Them my system, didn’t ask them for a penny. They just gave them the gold. They went and applied it. They made tens of millions. And so they were like, “Dude, your stuff is the best. You’ve got the best thing that’s hitting right now. You should launch a program. You should launch this and we’ll help you do it. ” So in 2020, I went from a guy that no one even knew existed to in the online marketing space, everyone’s like, “Pedro Adeo. Pedro, who’s Pedro? How did you come out of nowhere?” And I didn’t come out of nowhere, but it looked like it because one day to the next, people are getting emails from Jeff Walker, Russell Brunson, Evan, I mean, Joe Polish. I mean, Jason Flatland, it’s this who’s who.
Speaker 1 (00:07:44):
Yeah.
Pedro Adao (00:07:45):
Dean Graziosi promotes nobody. I mean, Dean Graziosi and Tony Robbins, they don’t promote LC. They promote each
Kristen Boss (00:07:50):
Other. That’s it.
Pedro Adao (00:07:52):
Yeah, that’s it. So it’s like, how do you get these giants to promote you? Well, it’s simple. I created something that was innovative and brand new and it actually worked. I came in, I installed it in their business, didn’t ask for a penny. They made millions, some made tens of millions, and they’re like, “Dude, let me help you. ” And that’s not why I did it, Kristen. I didn’t do it for the favor. Just I want to be very transparent. I don’t give to get. I think that’s just weird energetically. I think it’s … Now, if I want something from someone, I will just be very open and direct. Hey, I mean, when I reached out to you, I was like, “Hey, I’m doing this big project. I’d love to have you promote it. ” I was very upfront about that. I wasn’t trying to cloak, “Oh, let me just see if I can … ” No, “Hey, I got this big thing.
(00:08:44):
A mutual friend of ours connected us. He thinks she’d be great. Let’s talk. I’m looking for speakers and I’m also looking for people that have audiences that would get benefit and value from what I’m doing.” So I think that’s where a lot of people go get things messed up relationally. They have hidden agendas. They got secret desires and I’m like, no, either let it go and just give and serve and be emotionally clean that you really don’t expect anything in return or be upfront about, “Hey, if I do this for you, do you think you could do this for me? ” Nothing wrong with that either. But anyhow, since 2020, that was our first year. We hit eight figures, became a household name in the online marketing community.
(00:09:35):
I mean, spoke at the biggest stages, spoke at the biggest advance in our industry, consulted for the biggest names in our industry, eight figure business, all that comes with that. And we’ve been at eight figures every year since. So that’s one of my … I’m kind of proud about that, that I wasn’t like a flash in the pan, was here for a year or two and gone. A lot of people, they have a big year or two, and then they kind of just, boom, they find a way to get taken out. So this is now, I think, my seventh year in this industry, six years at over eight figures. And I’m happy to jump in and talk about that with you. And a lot of my success is due to principles and wisdom. I’m going to be sharing and unpacking coming up in our 31 Day Wisdom Challenge, which kicks off January 1st, but- Which
Kristen Boss (00:10:27):
Is like tomorrow, by the time that episode airs, which is perfect. And it’s super generous because it’s a free event. We’ll have the link in the show notes. It’s 31 days, which is … Most people would look at that and be like, “Holy Moses, 31 days. Are you crazy? What about the retention, the drop-off?” But also it’s like-
Pedro Adao (00:10:45):
I am crazy.
Kristen Boss (00:10:49):
And also energetically being able to carry that for 31 days, I’m going to say that also is supernatural because I know the energy I’m in for a three-day event, let alone a 31-day event. It is the Lord’s work, Pedro. It is the Lord’s work.
Pedro Adao (00:11:08):
I don’t run marathons. I’m not like a marathoner, but I do the equivalent by being live for 31 days in a row, rain shine, not feeling great, not feeling great. 31 days on camera, nothing’s prerecorded. I don’t allow any prerecording. I’m live, my guests are live. And there’s over a hundred thousand people that are in this thing, Kristen. So the amount of chatter, the noise, the customer support tickets, it’s like this immense amount of work for 31 days in a row, it’s me, my wife, my team. But why we do it is because one, I felt led … I literally, this was a divine idea. It was, I call it a God download where I just felt inspired. I felt led. I mean, really transparently, I just felt like God asked me to do this. In 2019, I felt like what I heard, what I felt I heard in my heart, in my mind, I felt I heard God say, “Son, invite my people to read Proververbs with you.
(00:12:15):
” And Proverbs changed my life because
(00:12:18):
In 2000 and when I was 35, now I’m 51, but when I was 35, like around 2011, 12, my life fell apart, crashed and burned. I went from having a million dollar plus net worth and being really respected, a very successful real estate investor to made a couple of bad investments, got lied to, lacked wisdom, was naive, lost it all, ended up a couple million dollars in the whole. And all my friends and the family that I was making all kinds of money for that loved me when I was making the money, now that our money was gone or we lost it or was very reduced, now they hated me, they falsely accused me of being a scam artist, a liar, this and that. And so on top of losing money, losing money ain’t the worst thing in the world, but I lost money, I lost friends, I lost reputation, I lost my identity.
(00:13:17):
So it was a really crushing place and I was kind of depressed for kind of. I mean, I was not kind of depressed. I was begging God to not let me wake up for a couple years. And once I realized I was just too scared to kill myself, I was just too scared to do it. I was like, “I’m just scared what might happen. I don’t know
(00:13:39):
What happened.” Even though I do, I don’t know what happens if you kill yourself. I like to think we all go to heaven, not all, but still I just didn’t want to risk that, but I really wanted God to not let me wake up. I wanted him to take me out of the pain I was in. I had a lot of life insurance at the time and I really felt I was done. I was good for nothing. I felt like my wife deserved a better husband. I felt like my kids deserved a better father and I honestly believed that the world would be better without me.
(00:14:14):
And now you can look back and you’re like, looking at the things that I’ve been able to accomplish that God’s done through me. I mean, we have literally impacted millions of lives.That’s not exaggeration. Like millions of lives, we’ve impacted the online marketing industry in a massive way. There are people like you and many others who have made millions and tens of millions through strategies and frameworks that I brought to the marketplace, and that makes me super happy to see something that I created changing your life and your changing lives for those that you serve. And I really thought I was done, but it was Proverbs. It was going back to building on the rock. You can build your house on sand or you can build your house on the rock. And I built my house on sand. I built my house on tactics and principles that were not really true principles.
(00:15:17):
It was kind of more like hopium. It was a lot of presumption. Hopium. A lot of hopium and a lot of naivety. I was too trusting of people because
(00:15:32):
I was in a rush. So one thing I’ll share about that I’ll throw back to you is, even though I was doing really well, I wasn’t happy with the pace I was going at. I wanted to crush it even bigger, even faster. And turns out that it was because I wanted my dad’s approval. I still had never got that attaboy from my dad, which is so crazy how now I’m a grown ass man. I’ve got my own kids and I risked my entire life and my family. We ended up losing our house, losing houses foreclosures, repossessions. I risked all of that just at the hope of having my dad say, “I’m proud of you.
(00:16:11):
” And so I ended up getting partnering with what I call the spirit of desperation. I was so desperate that I didn’t even know for this affirmation validation from my father and others that now I’m taking excessive risk. And the thing I want the most is affirmation and validation. Having me chase that caused me to fail and now I get the opposite. Everyone thinks I’m a failure or a loser and they need a crooked scammer. And so I learned such a powerful lesson that so many, but one of them was when you partner with a desperate spirit, you end up looking for a savior or a rescuer. And when you are looking to be rescued or a savior, when you look for a rescuer, you’re always going to find an oppressor.
Kristen Boss (00:17:04):
Dang.
Pedro Adao (00:17:04):
You’re going to find someone that will be happy to take advantage of that vulnerability and they’re going to it’s going to look great, sound great. This happens a lot in relationships, right, Kristen, but also in business too.
Kristen Boss (00:17:17):
This is what we talked about. This is what we talked about is that we said so much about how do we as marketers keep people from purchasing with a savior complex because we see that so often like outsourcing. They want to outsource the work to a program, outsource the work to a person like, “I’ll buy this thing and it will finally fix me. ” And it’s purchasing from a different place. And I’ve been talking to my audience about that more and more, but I want to touch back on this idea of like a spirit of desperation. And when everything fell apart for you, especially if like, I don’t know if you had used your success as a form of like a way to see yourself in the world, but for me, that was true for me. The more successful I was, the more I understood myself in the world.
(00:18:10):
But if that was to all go away, which you mentioned like losing houses and foreclosures and reputation. And they say, “You are what one of these three things you tend to operate in. You are what you have, you are what you do or you are what people say of you. ” And so I was like, “I am what I do and I am what people say of me. ” So if I’m not doing, then who am I? If I’m failing, then who am I? And I very much relate to you looking for your dad because that was me. That was me 100%. I think I had my revelation in 2024 when I realized my business was one giant trauma response in looking for, and I’m proud of you, looking for like a good job. And I love that you call it like a spirit of desperation.
(00:19:07):
I called it an insatiable addiction. It was an addiction to validation and affirmation. And I was so unwell that when my dealer or like the business wasn’t businessing or things weren’t going at the way I thought they would, when that drug wasn’t fixing this insatiable need I had, I went and looked elsewhere in really self-destructive ways that I’ve shared with my audience. So my question to you is like now, having gone through that, I’ve been talking about like pursuing success sober. I call it like sober success. How do you do this with a sober mind and not falling back into desperation? Because I think some people think, “Oh, I’ll just rid myself of the desperation and scarcity and I’ll never deal with it again.” But I think it’s a constant checking in with your, like you’re constantly coming back to, you’re just noticing it sooner and being like, “Oh, hold on.
(00:20:08):
This is not a sober mind. My addict is showing up right now.” Or for you, it’s like the spirit of desperation showing up. How are you doing that sober minded now while still doing really big things in the world? How are you doing that?
Pedro Adao (00:20:22):
Yeah. Nah, that’s so good. So I love how you … I don’t think you’re overreaching to talk about it from using the word sober. Proverbs, this ancient book of wisdom talks a lot about being sober minded, and it doesn’t mean not being drunk or high. It just means actually thinking clearly.
(00:20:45):
Sober minded which means being free of any other influence. That influence doesn’t have to be drugs. That influence could be reckless ambition. That influence could be this insatiable appetite for affirmation, either from a father, a spouse, a third grade teacher, our friends. So I love how you just kind of are calling it what it is. This is about being sober minded. I also love how you tie this to scarcity because this is a symptom of a scarcity mindset. And to go even deeper at the spirit and soul level, it is actually the symptom of a poverty and to go at the deepest level of identity, it’s actually orphan. This is the behavior patterns of orphans. Now, I am not an orphan. I’m not an orphan. I know who my parents are. I was raised by my parents. So I wasn’t an orphan in the natural.
(00:21:53):
However, I believe, this is just Pedro talking. I believe we’re all spiritually born as orphans. Even though I know my parents are, I still have this, my spirit, my soul still has these orphan nature, these orphan tendencies. And now it’s up to my parents, my surroundings, and even at some level, myself, to then grow up and come out of agreement with this orphan identity, these orphan tendencies.
(00:22:26):
And so an orphan tendencies is insecurity, always needing constant affirmation validation. And now using our business, another million dollar launch, another ClickFunnels award, I have so many ClickFunnels awards. They’re
Kristen Boss (00:22:47):
Not even hanging up, are there?
Pedro Adao (00:22:49):
They’re like Kyle. They’re on the floor now. I stopped bringing them around. I have qualified for …
Speaker 1 (00:22:57):
Yeah.
Pedro Adao (00:22:57):
I stopped even submitting two years ago. Now, there was a point in time though, here’s the big message. There was a point in time, 2016, where I got qualified for my first ClickFunnels to come a Club Award.
Kristen Boss (00:23:13):
I love
Pedro Adao (00:23:15):
That. And in 2016, first of all, there was a lot fewer of us back then. Now it’s like anyone can buy these almost. It was important for my journey because back then people saw this and they’re like, “Hey, this guy has some real results.” So I don’t want to make it wrong. I don’t want to shoot people and make it wrong that, hey, the point is that having the marketplace acknowledge and acknowledge your results isn’t wrong. There’s a massive recession. We need credibility. But if it means too much, when it means too much, and it will, like Kristen, let’s just help people. It does mean too much to you. “No, no, Pedro, I’m good. No, you’re not as good as you think you are. I thought I was good and I self-destructed. Kristen thought she was good until she … And she was good until she wasn’t.
(00:24:19):
And so the benefit that I had is I crashed and burned when I was 35 years old and no one even knew who I was. So I got to crash and burn and- Quietly. And 30 people know I was an idiot, right? Maybe 50 people knew I was an idiot and it was my little Portuguese cliquey community. I was so grateful that I got to crash and burn and then Pedro 1.0 is dead. God allowed that guy to die.
(00:24:54):
And literally what the person you see now in the last … The person all of you have got to experience since 2000 and like 14, 15 is Pedro 2.0. Pedro 2.0 has done some really cool stuff, but he’s a different person. He has different values. He’s dealt with his heart wounds. He’s dealt with his traumas. He’s dealt with his daddy issues. The irony is I know … The crazy part about it is I had a dad. I still have a dad. He’s at my house right now.
(00:25:28):
I knew my dad loved me. He took me to soccer, tennis, music lessons. But I’m a words of affirmation guy. My love language is tell me I’m awesome. And my dad’s old school and that wasn’t really his deal. And he honestly thought he was helping me by kind of withholding some of the verbal praise. He’s like, ” Oh, he’s going to try harder. “And I did. I tried hard. But you did. I did, right? I just tried too hard. I tried too hard at some point, right? And just to say this to you, Kristen, I know it’s not true that your entire business is or was a trauma response. That is not true. That’s not true. You should not believe that. That’s a lie.
Kristen Boss (00:26:17):
I’ll receive that.
Pedro Adao (00:26:18):
Okay. Because there’s no way you would have gone that far and paid the price you paid. So no, there was a lot of very good, redemptive stuff. That was mostly you.
(00:26:37):
There was a lot of good in you, from you coming out of you in the vehicle of business. Now, was there too much of this motivation from this? Yes, of course. Sure. Did that take you to do things that you now have made different choices? Yes, of course. But to say that your entire existence in business was just one big trauma response, I don’t think is true. And I think it’s a big disservice to actually the amazing things that you did for the right reasons, because I believe you love and care about people as well.
Kristen Boss (00:27:14):
Yeah. I appreciate that. Thank you. Thanks for saying that. I was going to say actually back to you, I was going to say, I wrote this down while you were talking and you were saying you kept praying that you wouldn’t wake up and I was going to say spiritually God did answer that prayer.
Pedro Adao (00:27:33):
Oh
Kristen Boss (00:27:33):
Yeah. That Pedro 1.0.
Pedro Adao (00:27:35):
Oh, he died.
Kristen Boss (00:27:36):
He did die.
Pedro Adao (00:27:37):
Oh yeah.
Kristen Boss (00:27:38):
He did.
Pedro Adao (00:27:39):
Oh
Kristen Boss (00:27:39):
Yeah. So when I’m like, wow, that prayer was answered just not in the way you thought. I was just like, oh, but that version of you didn’t wake up.
Pedro Adao (00:27:46):
No, you’re right.
Kristen Boss (00:27:47):
I did die. And I do think there are parts of us, I think this is the most painful part of entrepreneurship because in what other area of life do you sign up to die? How many … I mean, actually I take that back because in my marriage- Marriage.
Pedro Adao (00:28:05):
You
Kristen Boss (00:28:06):
Die. You die
Pedro Adao (00:28:07):
Yourself. Marriage gives you an opportunity. Not everybody does it. Not everyone does it. And I’ll be honest as well. I have not had to die to myself. I have not had to die to a prior version of myself in my marriage to the extent that happened in business. Yeah,
Kristen Boss (00:28:30):
Same.
Pedro Adao (00:28:30):
It doesn’t mean I shouldn’t. If my wife was there, she’d say, “Yeah, please.” But it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t. It just means that the circumstances … I’ve been able to manage marriage and my wife and she’s amazing. And I’ve been able to manage marriage where making improvements, making little pivots, making … We’re 28 years of marriage and I would say we’re mostly happy most of the time. And we survived menopause. I mean- Yeah,
Kristen Boss (00:29:06):
I like the we.
Pedro Adao (00:29:07):
We survived menopause. We. I mean, I didn’t get the hot flashes, but man, so many people get divorced at this time and it’s usually blamed on the guys and the guys in their midlife crisis and they go off and buy the Corvette. And look, there’s a lot of shallow men. I get that. But dude, menopause is no joke. I mean, it took a lot of … We had to really work to really stay connected through that time because it was rough. But not only did … You’re right, that’s very astute. I did have a death. That death wasn’t just spiritual. It wasn’t actually a spiritual death at all. It’s a death of my soul. I It was the soul. It was my mind, my will, my emotion. Spiritually, I was already renewed. So my spirit was actually, it’s a death of the soul. And I got to attend, this is kind of a little bit of a dark conversation this part, but God allowed me to attend my own funeral.
(00:30:22):
So I was literally in my front room just praying and just in so much pain. And I’m praying and I don’t really usually get visions that often, but I literally, God allowed me to see what was happening as I’m praying. I saw this picture and I could tell it was me. I could tell, but I’m looking at me from the back. So it’s me looking at me from the back and I’ve got my hands like this and there’s like this, I’m carrying a body, like a dead person. I’m carrying a dead person. I’m carrying this dead person to this altar. And I lay this dead person on this altar. And then I turn around, I walk away, and the dead person on the altar is me. Dang. So I literally, God let me attend my own funeral.
Kristen Boss (00:31:22):
Wow.
Pedro Adao (00:31:23):
And when I tell you, I broke down and cried and not just cried like tears. It was a probably, I don’t want to exaggerate, it was at least an hour to two hours of just a crying, a weeping, a travailing. The amount of pain that was being released, I almost had to call 911. I could not catch my breath because I’m just crying, sobbing and trying to catch my breath. And that was the day that 1.0 died. And the Lord wanted me to see it and not to see it. Here’s the more powerful point. I had to be a willing participant. Dang. I had to be willing to say, because God’s not going to drag us around.
Kristen Boss (00:32:22):
No.
Pedro Adao (00:32:23):
We have free will. We have free will. He doesn’t make us do anything.That’s a big misconception I think people have about. So I had to be a willing participant in that death and rebirth. And it was a death, man. I mourned. I mourned. I grieved. And on some levels, it’s been kind of 10 years. And I kind of feel like we’re ready for … I feel the …
Kristen Boss (00:32:55):
Oh no.
Pedro Adao (00:32:56):
Yeah. I feel like there’s a 3.0 that’s supposed to … I feel there’s a 3.0 coming.
Kristen Boss (00:33:05):
Man, and knowing what’s on the other side, it’s so funny. I coach … This happens in a lot of areas, but I coach someone who’s in a huge leadership position in government. And I coached him through his entire campaign.
(00:33:20):
And he was an underdog. He wasn’t supposed to win and he was there. But when he decided to set out for his campaign, I said, “Be willing to die a thousand deaths in this campaign.” I was like, “Your need for approval will die a thousand times over in this. Your need to be validated by everyone and have everyone on board will also die a thousand times.” And I was like, “This is death of the ego. This is the death of how you see yourself and it will be over and over again.” And he’s like, “All right.” And now I’ve been coaching him since he’s in office and he’s going for reelection. And he’s like, “Kristen,” he’s like, “You just keep upping the number of deaths every time we meet.” He’s like, “The campaign was a thousand. Being in office has been 10,000 deaths.” And I was like, “Yeah, and are you willing to die more?”
Pedro Adao (00:34:11):
But can I ask you a question?
Kristen Boss (00:34:13):
Yeah.
Pedro Adao (00:34:14):
Does he regret it?
Kristen Boss (00:34:15):
Not at all.
Pedro Adao (00:34:16):
Yeah.
Kristen Boss (00:34:16):
Yeah. And he said that to him, I was like, “Do you regret it? ” He’s like,
Pedro Adao (00:34:19):
No. Every time we go through these death and rebirths, and they’re not all as significant.
Kristen Boss (00:34:25):
Yeah. Some are micro.
Pedro Adao (00:34:26):
Some are a little bit more micro. It could be the death of an idea. It could be the death of an old identity. Sometimes you need a full-blown reset, like a full-blown like, “No, we’re going to reboot this whole thing.” I don’t think I need that one, but I might. I don’t think I do. And this one’s been a lot more gradual, which is great because that would be difficult. But if someone’s listening to saying, “Pedro, why would I want to do this?
Speaker 1 (00:35:01):
“
Pedro Adao (00:35:01):
Let me tell you why. Because you come out of this free.
Speaker 1 (00:35:08):
Yeah.
Pedro Adao (00:35:09):
You come out free, you come out liberated, you come out wiser, you come out with more wisdom and really freer because what we realize is we oftentimes always build a prison. We’re building a prison of our stories of our beliefs. And so I mean, obviously so much of the writings of Paul talk about Paul really talked a lot about this concept and it’s in Romans a lot. It’s being dead to self. Consider yourselves dead. Consider yourselves dead, dead to sin, dead to the flesh, alive to God. And so there’s so many advantages of actually … There’s advantages to living as if the flesh was dead because you’re free. And if you’re already dead, what’s the problem? Who can harm you?
Kristen Boss (00:36:10):
Exactly.
Pedro Adao (00:36:11):
Think about it. And just to kind of finish this very kind of-
Kristen Boss (00:36:16):
Existential. …
Pedro Adao (00:36:18):
Conversation. I’m going to drop a bomb from your audience.
Kristen Boss (00:36:23):
Oh, I love it. They love that stuff.
Pedro Adao (00:36:26):
I lost a dear friend who was my age last year, and it really kind of rocked me to my core because I’ve lost grandparents, but I just lost my last grandparent last summer. This year, this summer, she was a hundred. Wow. And so I have no more grandparents left. But I lost a dear friend who was my age, and that kind of plays with your mind a lot. And in my grieving process, I felt I got led to a verse. And I can look it up, but I believe it’s in Hebrews 12. And here’s the gist of the verse. I should read it. But the verse that basically helps us understand. It says that all of us have been held in bondage and captive to the enemy of our soul, Satan. It basically says that Satan, the enemy, whatever you want to call this evil entity, is able to hold all of us, the sons of God, daughters of God, in bondage because of the fear of death.
Speaker 1 (00:37:42):
Dang.
Pedro Adao (00:37:43):
So here’s what I saw. How much do we talk in our space of coaching, motivation about overcoming your fear? I mean, how much of people’s problems is just too afraid?
Kristen Boss (00:37:58):
99%.
Pedro Adao (00:37:59):
Okay. Well, there it is. Here’s how you actually overcome fear. You overcome the fear of death. All other fears are connected to that tap root. If you are not afraid to die, the enemy has nothing on you. He has nothing to connect to. That is the tap root. The fear of death is the tap root that feeds all the other lesser, lower level fears. So I have this whole idea I came up with. I’m like, “Well, just get ready to die. Just what’s your list? Don’t be afraid to die. Most of us are afraid to die. Why? Oh, I don’t have a will. I don’t have a trust. Oh, I don’t have life insurance. Oh, I need to write a memoir. Oh, I want to go see the Eiffel Tower.” Dude, do your bucket list now. Why would you wait till you’re old and decrepit?
(00:38:53):
Do the list now and now you’re free.
Speaker 1 (00:38:55):
Yeah.
Pedro Adao (00:38:56):
You’re not actually truly free to live unless you’re ready to die.
Kristen Boss (00:39:01):
That’s so true.
Pedro Adao (00:39:02):
You’re not. And that’s why we … And there’s something about kind of circling back to these entrepreneurs.That’s why there’s these iconic entrepreneurs that are just to us, they seem like they’re insane risk takers. I believe if you ask them, they have already paid this price. They’re ready to die. They don’t want to die. Yeah. But they’re ready to die. They’re ready to die in a rocket ship. They’re ready to die. I mean, nowadays with this whole situation, it’s real obvious how dangerous it can be to be a public figure. But when the people that are the ones who change the world have already reconciled this, they’re like, “I’m going to go run my race. I’m going to do my thing.” They keep short accounts, they’re all in because they’re not hedging. They’re not hedging them.
(00:40:01):
They’re not hedging bets. And the ultimate hedge of bet is my life. So if you can do whatever you need to do to make that list, you’re like, “I don’t want to die, but I’m ready. I got the things that matter to me. I have checked the box. The people that I know, the people that I want to know I love, they know they’re loved. The places I want to go see, I have seen them. The book, maybe there’s some financial things, relational things, whatever it is. Dude, do it, get it done. That’d be a great way to start the year. Checking off your list and then you’re free. You’re free to run.You’re just unhindered.”
Kristen Boss (00:40:42):
I think when you say unhindered, that’s so true because I would say I lived in so much fear of loss that it was actually losing that helped me stop being afraid of loss.
Pedro Adao (00:40:56):
And
Kristen Boss (00:40:56):
I’m like, “I’ve already lost.” And I’m here. I’m alive. I’m breathing. So what is there left to be afraid of? I actually, and it turns out, what is it? The fear of the thing is often greater than the thing itself. And so it’s like, I feared loss and then I faced loss and I’m like, turns out loss didn’t kill me. So what is … Now I am unhindered because in my mind, I’m like, I’ve already lived and faced worst case scenario. The thing I was most afraid of, and it was truly like it was any type of loss, not making buckets of money. And this year has not been that. And I think it’s the greatest, I called it the great rescue mission on my identity. My big fallout was like the great rescue mission on who I am. And I love it. Do you know Joe Johnson?
(00:41:47):
Have you met him? He’s over life search.
(00:41:49):
Yeah. Joe and I were talking and he was telling me about all of his struggle before life surge and how he was in debt and down to his last dollars. And I was like, Joe, Joe, I did this thing. I burned it down. I feel crazy. What have I done? He’s like, Kristen, everyone who does something meaningful, this burned down, this lost in the wilderness, he’s like, “It’s a necessary training ground for those who wish to do great things.” And he’s like, “This is the training ground you have to be in. Everyone I know that has done great things has had tragic losses and they’ve had their season of wilderness.” I was like, “Well, great. I’m in the hall of heroes then.”
Pedro Adao (00:42:27):
Yeah. So a couple things I want to touch on. First of all, whatever you fear, whatever you fear losing, you’re going to lose. Whatever you fear losing, you’re going to lose it. Happy New Year, everybody. So Pedro, what do you mean? Our episode. Pedro, please fix this for me. So what do I do? You stop being afraid to lose it. I’ve seen this happen in my life. I’ve seen this happen in people like Coach and now it’s just, now I cannot unsee it. The thing that you are afraid of losing, and here’s why. You’re like, “Pedro, but I’m a Christian. I believe in God. I believe in the universe.” How can a good God, how could this all loving universe take things from me? Here’s how. God loves me so much that he has no problem allowing me and allowing life and allowing just cause and effect to take away houses, take away cars, take away business because I matter more to God than my business.
(00:43:59):
Oh, Pedro, I know my business is going to flourish because God cares about my business. He cares about your business, but he cares about you more. And if your business has become an idol, then guess what?
Kristen Boss (00:44:13):
That out. Bye-bye. Bye.
Pedro Adao (00:44:15):
Because he loves you. If you are him. Because he loves you. Not because he’s a jerk, but he just allows … This is where the Bible talks about God being a jealous God. He’s not jealous because he’s insecure. He’s jealous because he loves us so much and anything we try and put in his place is going to destroy us. So he just allows the principles and the inevitability of how life and reality work. Eventually, those things all come tumbling down and then we get to learn, “Oh, I put my hope, my trust in the wrong thing.” Better to learn that now on this side of heaven and after. So the fact is, if you’re like just whatever you love so much, you’re afraid to lose it. Just get with God and say, “God, I love my house. I love my car. I love my life.
(00:45:10):
I love my wife. I love my kids.” And just be like, “And yet all this belongs to you. All this belongs to God, and Emma is ours.” So on some level, if you’re trying to death grip things, dude, you’re cooked. And then you’re playing defense. And when you’re playing defense and you’re trying not to lose, you’re going to make dumb decisions, bad mistakes, and you will cause the very loss that you are trying to avoid. I’ve seen it a hundred, if not a thousand times. So do break up with the fear of loss. It’s not going to serve you. I’ve never seen it serve. I’ve never seen it serve anybody.
Kristen Boss (00:45:52):
Well, think about this even through the lens of where I was talking about addiction. It’s just like an idol is … What is an idol demand? Sacrifice. What do addictions demand? Sacrifice. And so really it’s just like to freeing us from addiction. When you have an addiction, when there is an idol, you are in bondage to that thing.
(00:46:11):
And a life of bondage is not a life of freedom. It is living your life with a white knuckled grip on things. If you’ve ever held onto something so tight and then when you try to open your hand, it hurts so bad. It’s just like … But you’re right. God loves us so much that he doesn’t want us to live in that white knuckled, just that brutal addiction cycle of needing … Because it never truly quenches our thirst. I can say this. There was never … No, I just couldn’t believe that a million dollar launch couldn’t fix what was going on inside. A $2 million launch couldn’t do it. A $3 million launch couldn’t do it. A book deal couldn’t do it. Nothing could fix it. So liberating yourself from the very thing that you put your whole life on is the hardest and greatest work.
(00:47:03):
Because once you are liberated from that, you really do become free. You really can do these great risks as you’re like, “I’m not afraid anymore. What? I’m going to lose? Oh, well.” For me, if people are listening to this podcast and be like, “I hate Kristen Boss because now she’s a little too much in her faith.” I’ll be like, “You know what? I’ve already lost. Unsubscribe. I’ve lost. I’m not
Pedro Adao (00:47:25):
Afraid.” No, the funny part about the … A lot of times … So one of my biggest reasons I’ve been so successful is because I already crashed and burned before.
(00:47:46):
So it’s like I already lost my reputation. I already didn’t have a credit score. I already was accused of stuff I never did. I already went through all this stuff. So now over here, it’s like I’m not afraid to fail because I already failed. I failed big time. I had all of the negative consequences of failure. So it’s like I’m free because it’s like, what am I afraid to go bankrupt? I already am bankrupt. Here I am. I’ve had my best career since. What am I afraid to have people talk crap about me? That’s already happened by my closest friends. So now I come online, I’m running ads. People are like, “This guy’s the devil. He’s a grifter. He’s a false prophet. He’s part of Nard.” You’re like, “Get in line. I’ve already heard that. ” And I’m like, “I’m sad for them.”
Speaker 1 (00:48:39):
Yeah. Because
Pedro Adao (00:48:41):
I’m like, “Dude, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so miserable that you don’t even know you don’t know me from Adam? You don’t know me from Adam and you’re just so convinced I’m this person. You don’t know me. You haven’t sat through any of my training. You’re judging my heart, which is 100% not allowed if you are a follower of Jesus. We are told we are only God gets to judge the heart. We can judge the fruit,
(00:49:10):
But the fruit of my life ever since the wreckage is amazing actually. And I’m still learning and growing. I still make mistakes. I’m not trying to … But it’s really good. We’ve helped a lot of people and I’m still married and I still have my closest friends. And the biggest success is my kids all still want to be with me. My kids all still love my wife and I. My kids all work for the company. They want to be part of the things that we do. The people that know me the most love and respect me.
Speaker 1 (00:49:47):
That’s it.
Pedro Adao (00:49:48):
The reason why all these other fake ass gurus come crashing down is because the people that know them the most know they’re a freaking monster. They’re a terrible person. And then they put on this persona and they want to act like their mother, Theresa, when in reality they’re just a horrible person. Well, dude, and that’s being exposed. Thanks to the internet, everyone’s got phones now. It’s like, look at all these exposures. I mean, and no one is politicians, whether it’s an Epstein list, whether it’s pastors getting exposed,
(00:50:25):
Whether it’s these gurus who have no money, who are lying, faking, renting Lambos in the air. It’s all being exposed. And some of them’s like, “Good, man.” It doesn’t serve people when people try just to pretend. And so it was a great gift that I had that crash and burned before. And now the risk, Kristen, is how do I stay in a place of how do I stay that care free? How do I stay that free? Because now it’s like, well, now I am at eight figures. Now I do have a name again. Now I do have all these accolades. Now I do have a reputation. Now I do have an amazing credit score. Now I have all these things to lose. So am I going to all of a sudden go back to defense and protect? Or am I going to just be like, no, Lord, this is a blessing.
(00:51:26):
Thank you for the house, the cars, thank you for my amazing life. And yet you matter more to me than all of this. You are the giver of the gift. We value the gift more than the giver of the gift. That’s just dumb. That’s not wisdom.
Kristen Boss (00:51:42):
Yeah.
Pedro Adao (00:51:43):
What’s more valuable? The diamond ring. I know so many women, that’s my wife’s story. My wife’s whole identity was in her diamond, in her diamond. She has an amazing story about how she would go to the grocery store and make sure that how she kind of put her finger and then people would be like, “Oh, I love your … ” Her entire self-esteem was being kept alive by compliments on her ring.
Kristen Boss (00:52:12):
Interesting.
Pedro Adao (00:52:12):
So guess what happened one day at church?
Kristen Boss (00:52:14):
It got lost. What?
Pedro Adao (00:52:16):
That would’ve been easy. Worse. One day at church, God said, “Take off your reign and put it on the altar.”
(00:52:28):
I’m telling my wife’s story, but this is … I’m not sure if maybe you have a lot of ladies listening to the podcast that know that if you have a really nice diamond, nice engagement ring, that’s a potential place to misplace identity for some people, not for everybody, for some people, whatever. But it was for my wife. And the fact is that was the thing about her that she felt was the highlight. She was raising kids, so she’s been staying home, doesn’t have a big career, popped out three babies real fast. So it’s not like she’s got the best body she’s ever had. So now she’s like, “Well, I’m not in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I don’t really have an amazing career. I’m a stay home mom right now.” So the best thing about me is my wife has amazing hair, just crazy curly, curly hair, which in the menopause, now that’s losing hair in the menopause.
(00:53:28):
Oh my God, she had to kind of revisit that whole thing. And it was her diamond ring. And then one day it was obviously an idol and God’s like, “Put on the altar.” And she tells a story and she’s like, “Something pushed me. I did not want to get up.” She’s like, “I literally felt a push from the back.” And to the point she looked back to see who pushed her and there was nobody there.
(00:53:52):
And I was playing bass on the worship team. I was playing bass. I’m watching all this. She walks to the altar, she takes the ring off, puts in that pastor’s hand, she’s weeping, they’re talking, they’re looking at me. I’m like, “What is going on? ” And then after she came over, she’s like, “Hey, please don’t be mad at me, but I just gave away my … ” Guys, that was a 30 some odd thousand dollar diamond. Geez. This wasn’t some $2,000 zales mole diamond. Nothing wrong with that. I was like, “That’s my diamond.” That’s not what this was. Okay. Just saying, but just to give context.
Speaker 1 (00:54:32):
Yeah.
Pedro Adao (00:54:34):
And I said, “Well, she’s like, I felt like God told me to do it. ” I’m like, “Well, sounds like God to me. ” And then what happened is she just starts grieving it, then she’s second guessing herself. Then she goes to this phase of anger. Man, it was a whole week.
Kristen Boss (00:54:54):
Five-step grieving process.
Pedro Adao (00:54:55):
Grieving process over this. And I’m like, wow. But it wasn’t long after that. We went through our crash and burn and she probably would’ve lost it in the bankruptcy.
Kristen Boss (00:55:08):
Wow.
Pedro Adao (00:55:09):
So God gave her the gift of her releasing it on her terms, so she got free of it. Went through our crash and burned and then ultimately came out of it and now I’ve replaced it with something that’s …
Kristen Boss (00:55:25):
A $60,000 campaign. Now that you’re liberated,
Pedro Adao (00:55:29):
Here’s a bigger one. And it is. It’s nicer and she deserves it. But my wife will tell you, she’s like, “I love my ring, but it’s just a
Speaker 1 (00:55:39):
Ring.”
Pedro Adao (00:55:40):
She goes, “I love my ring, but it’s just a ring.” It does not have that nasty … It doesn’t have that nasty … It doesn’t have her. And that’s why we got to be careful of our possessions. Our possessions, if we’re not careful, our possessions can end up possessing us.
Kristen Boss (00:56:01):
It’s so true. That’s why … Oh gosh, Arthur Brooks in Strength to Strength, I recommend that book to you. Towards the end of the book, it says, “Don’t love things, love people. You love people. Use things. Love God, love people, use things, have things, don’t love things. The moment we love things, we lose things. Move yourselves.”
Pedro Adao (00:56:22):
That’s the best business advice right there. Your business, I use my business to love people at scale.
Kristen Boss (00:56:36):
Everyone write that down. Mic drop moment. That’s so beautiful.
Pedro Adao (00:56:39):
That’s what I do.
(00:56:42):
That’s what I do. And if you’re a believer, a Christian, if you have some kind of faith background, that’s the only thing you should get to do in business because to not love people well through your business, to not put them first means that you’ve put yourself first and now you’re not part of the kingdom of God. You are now under the spirit of mammon and now you’re using people to get money. You’re actually abusing people for money and that’s not biblical, that’s not the kingdom. That’s what’s called unrighteous wealth creation. And I would say that’s 99% of most enterprises.
Kristen Boss (00:57:23):
Oh, 100%. Yep.
Pedro Adao (00:57:24):
I mean, this is why, I mean, big pharma, the food industry, the school system, look our government. I mean, look how hard it is to find out the truth about what’s even in our food. Look how hard it is to get something that’s not full of chemicals that’s fake. Look how hard it is to actually … I mean, go try and buy a financial product and be told the truth about all the facts, the fees, the figures. No, here’s this 300 page. Here’s a 300 page prospectus that they know you’re not going to read or understand. Then they make you sign a paper saying, “Oh, sign here that you read and understood it. ” And then you find out the person basically lied to you, they left out very important details and then you get mad and maybe you even want to sue. And it’s like, “Well, Kristen, is this not your signature here?
(00:58:24):
Did you not sign on this document?”
Kristen Boss (00:58:27):
Been there, been there.
Pedro Adao (00:58:28):
That you read and understood?
Kristen Boss (00:58:32):
Yeah, there’s so much of that and that’s-
Pedro Adao (00:58:33):
You’re done. It’s game over. So basically, and I’m in the financial industry and I’m the biggest … I’m a whistleblower. I’m like, “Guys, our industry, we don’t do this. Obviously we don’t do this, but it’s normal. Our industry and the financial industry, and the same thing isn’t … I mean, it’s happening coaching, information business, it’s easy to do and it’s legal. It’s legal. Now, some things are not legal, but in the financial world, you can bury fees in a 300 page document. It’s totally legal. It’s super legal.
Kristen Boss (00:59:11):
I could cry when I tell you some of the most painful lessons was somebody who willfully deceived us financially and through fine … Anyways, not going to hold that over them. We’re just like, whatever, you know what? That’s God’s money anyway, so you have to answer for God. That’s fine. But we could keep talking and talking. But here’s the thing. We’ve talked about dying. We’ve talked about being a new person, just putting things on the altar. If you are possessive about your possessions, they end up owning you, getting caught in that, the orphan spirit, spirit of desperation. I think this is all so huge. So for my listeners that are listening, that are looking at the new year, I think it’s a really good question to ask, what should I no longer take with me into the new year? That garden and out. And I think the best way to do this is come to the 31-day challenge that Pedro’s hosting.
(01:00:04):
I have the link in the show notes. It’s free. You do not have to be a person of faith to gain the wisdom from this challenge. Like Pedro was telling me, it’s timeless wisdom. There’s natural laws. There’s cause and effect that we see in business that we see. There are universal laws that are timeless. And whether you believe in God or not, you might end up after the 31 days. But if you understand cause and effect, natural laws, then you do also have a space for wisdom and for clarity and what better time to do that at the beginning of January. Is there anything else you want to add, Pedro?
Pedro Adao (01:00:42):
Yeah. So we’re going to study a book called the Book of Proverbs. It’s written by King Solomon. King Solomon was the wealthiest and wisest person to ever have lived. He would’ve been a multi, multi-trillionaire in today’s terms. When he ruled over his country, there was no war. There was only peace. Everybody was rich. During the time of his rule, everybody was so rich that silver, which is now just set an all- time record out. Silver today has doubled in value in this current year. There are people trying to buy millions and millions and billions of dollars of silver. In the time of Solomon, think about this, everybody was so wealthy that silver on the street was walked by. No one even cared to pick up silver because that’s how much gold they had.
Kristen Boss (01:01:35):
That’s crazy.
Pedro Adao (01:01:35):
And today you’ve got investors, hedge funds, private equity groups, governments pushing it as silver like it’s going out of style because … And in the dime of Solomon, he ruled so wisely, he had such brilliant economic policy. He managed the economy so well. People were so rich. They’re like, “Oh, silver, I’m good.” It’s not even worth picking up and bending over for.
(01:02:01):
So come learn these timeless principles. The word proverb, it comes from a Hebrew term that is. And one of the meanings of the word is to rule and to reign as a king or a queen. So this is literally a how-to manual, how to rule and reign in your life, in your career as a king, as a boss, is what you would say, right? And to do it in a honorable way, in a godly way, in a way that honors God and blesses people, not abuses people. That’s why Solomon was so wise, because God appeared to him in a dream and said, “What do you want? ” He could have asked for wealth. He could have asked for a long life. He could have asked God to kill his enemies. God gave him a genie in the bottle, one wish kind of moment. And Solomon was about 20 years old.
(01:02:59):
He was the king of a nation. Imagine being the president of the United States at 20.
Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Crazy.
Pedro Adao (01:03:05):
And he said, “God, give me wisdom so I can understand and rule over your people well. Give me the wisdom to serve your people well, that I would govern well, that I would do good in my job so that they would have a great life.” And God said, “Because you asked for wisdom to be a great kingdom leader and servant to the people, I’m going to give you wealth, success, fame, fortune, and a long life, and you’ll have no enemies.” And that’s the book you’re going to be learning from. And you’re going to learn from 31 amazing people like Kristen, myself, ET, Lisa Nichols, and a bunch of other people that you probably, some you know
