EP. 84 The Only Way To Greatness, Is Extreme Pain & Through The Darkness

Peter Rex, CEO and Founder of Rex, has been making moves his entire life, which has led to creating a collection of real estate companies aimed at shaking up the status quo and empowering others. This classically trained lawyer, CPA and almost Catholic Priest found his calling in business.  Pete strongly believes that time discerning and spent in silence can be one of the most important things a Leader does.  Sure you have People, a company and customers depending on you, but you can’t guide them through the darkness without focussing on the path that will get there. Taking the time to understand your next step and listening to that quiet voice is paramount. “Find A Way, Or Make One” is a motto he and his company live by.  When you are doing something innovative and different, it requires tenacious Teammates who are willing to seek out creative solutions, especially in the darkness. Pete believes your job as a CEO is to enter the darkness first and then bring folks along who are confident and capable to take those steps behind you. Many will not follow or think you’re crazy, but Pete believes that those who push into the darkness are the ones who can find greatness. Pete shares that business is tough and the path to greatness means you'll be let down by some of the folks closes to you. This pain is worth it, especially if you're serving a bigger purpose. Pain and failure comes with the territory; the silver lining is that you learn who you can trust and which Teammates stay committed. Pete shares his experience with the 08-09 recession, but how he was able to turn that into multi-billion dollar portfolio, because he followed his Faith. Pete was called to leave the world better through business and giving everything to God is what has allowed this entrepreneur to push beyond what most think was possible. Business can be a great catalyst for good and serving others, you just have to stay committed and do honestly.   Commitment to Faith, reflection and remaining courageous is what it takes to build something that matters. Without courage, you don't stand a chance.
