Pedro Adao went from begging God to kill him to building a $50 million business.And it wasn't because he worked harder. It was because he stopped doing business like everyone else and started doing it God's way.In this episode, Pedro breaks down what actually happened during his bankruptcy, why he hired a mentor when he couldn't afford groceries, and how he doubled his income the same year he gave himself a 40% pay cut.We also get into the stuff most people won't talk about: Why most pastors shouldn't be pastors. How to know if you're building wealth for the right reasons. What God actually thinks about money.This conversation went deep. If you've ever felt conflicted about making money as a believer, you need to hear this.🔗 JOIN THE 31 DAY WISDOM CHALLENGE: 31daywisdomchallenge.com🧔‍♂️ WHO AM I?My name is Brandon Turner!

Years of mistakes. A stack of wins. And a list of rules they wish someone had handed them long before things finally clicked.Brandon and Cam sit down after a marathon stretch of Thanksgiving, birthday parties, flights, and jet lag to strip business down to the essentials. This episode breaks down the eleven rules that keep real businesses alive.

They explore the unexpected comfort found in defining your own challenges, the true hurdles behind seven-figure revenue, and the vital difference between high revenue and actual profit.These are the exact rules that powered the creation of their multiple companies—and the rules they rely on every single day.👇Books that came up in the conversation:📘 Traction by Gino Wickman - ⁠ https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lELYG7IgL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg⁠📗 Vivid Vision by Cameron Herold - ⁠https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1520122317i/38922562.jpg⁠📈 The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney⁠ - https://www.franklincovey.com/the-4-disciplines/🧔‍♂️ WHO AM I?My name is Brandon Turner!
