Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Pedro Carvalho. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Pedro thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So, what do you think about family businesses? Would you want your children or other family members to one day join your business?

Building a family business is about more than wealth—it’s about creating a lasting legacy. With my real estate investments and AI company, I’m focused on passing down not just the business, but the values and mindset that built it.

I want my kids to be part of this journey, but only if they’re passionate about it. They’ll need to earn their place, explore their own paths, and bring fresh ideas to the table. This isn’t just about preserving what I’ve built—it’s about growing it.

The goal is simple: give them a strong foundation, the tools to succeed, and the freedom to shape the future. That’s the true power of a family business—a shared vision for something greater.

Pedro, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I’m Pedro Carvalho, and my story is one of transformation, resilience, and building a legacy. I came to the United States from Brazil with just $200 in my pocket, working hard to create a life of purpose and freedom. Today, I’ve built my success through real estate investing and an innovative AI business focused on helping businesses thrive in a competitive world.

In real estate, I specialize in acquiring and managing rental properties, creating passive income and generational wealth. I’ve developed expertise in creative financing, efficient property management, and scaling portfolios to achieve financial freedom.

On the AI side, my business is all about streamlining operations, customer acquisition, communication, and marketing for companies of all sizes. We leverage cutting-edge AI tools to simplify workflows, attract and retain customers, and create impactful marketing strategies. My goal is to help businesses save time, reduce costs, and scale faster by making AI practical and accessible.

What sets me apart is the ability to combine traditional wealth-building strategies like real estate with the innovation and efficiency of AI. Whether I’m managing properties or developing AI solutions, my focus is always on creating simple, actionable strategies that deliver real results.

I’m most proud of the impact I’ve been able to make through both businesses. Helping businesses optimize their operations with AI is incredibly rewarding. I’ve built my career on the principles of integrity, innovation, and a commitment to helping others achieve their goals.

For anyone curious about my work, I want you to know that my mission is to empower others—whether it’s through leveraging AI to grow a business or building a stable foundation through real estate investments. If you’re ready to streamline, scale, and create lasting success, I’m here to help make it happen. Together, we can turn possibilities into achievements.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

When I came to the United States, I had just $200 in my pocket and a dream to create a better life. I didn’t know the language, didn’t have any connections, and had no clear path forward. What I did have, though, was resilience and a belief that no matter how hard things got, I could figure it out.

The early days were incredibly tough. I worked long hours in low-paying jobs—landscaping, cooking in restaurants, waiting tables—just to get by. There were moments when I felt like I was running in place, struggling to make progress while carrying the weight of uncertainty and exhaustion. But I refused to let my circumstances define me. Every challenge became fuel for my determination.

One of the hardest lessons I learned came during a particularly rough patch when I had to start over from scratch. It was humbling, but it taught me how to rebuild with focus and purpose. Slowly but surely, I began finding opportunities. I educated myself, took risks, and started investing in real estate. I didn’t have much, but I used creativity and persistence to overcome the lack of resources. Whether it was figuring out unconventional financing or doing the physical labor myself, I learned to see solutions where others only saw obstacles.

Over time, I built a portfolio of rental properties that provided financial stability and the freedom to spend more time with my family. From those humble beginnings, I also launched an AI company that helps businesses streamline operations, acquire customers, and grow through smarter marketing and communication. It’s incredible to look back at how far I’ve come.

What I’ve realized through all of this is that resilience isn’t about never facing adversity—it’s about how you respond to it. Every setback, every moment of doubt, was an opportunity to grow stronger and smarter. That $200 wasn’t just money in my pocket; it was the starting point for a story of perseverance and transformation. Today, I carry those lessons with me and use them to build a life not just for myself, but for my family and the future we’re creating together.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

One of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn was the idea that working harder always leads to success. Growing up, I was taught that if you just put in more hours and work harder than everyone else, you’ll eventually achieve your goals. And while there’s truth to the value of hard work, I realized that hard work without strategy can lead to burnout without progress.

When I first came to the U.S. with just $200, I took any job I could get—landscaping, working in restaurants, and pulling double shifts. I believed that grinding day in and day out was the only way to get ahead. But no matter how hard I worked, I was barely scraping by. I was exhausted, and it felt like I was running on a hamster wheel.

The turning point came when I was introduced to real estate investing. I saw people building wealth not by working more hours but by working smarter—leveraging systems, relationships, and creative strategies. It hit me that success wasn’t about how much I could do on my own but about how effectively I could use my time and resources.

I started to shift my mindset. I focused on learning how to make money work for me, rather than trading all my time for it. In real estate, I figured out creative financing and learned how to manage properties efficiently. In my AI business, I embraced technology to streamline processes and save time. I realized that leveraging tools, knowledge, and partnerships was far more effective than trying to outwork every obstacle.

Unlearning that “hustle harder” mentality wasn’t easy—it’s so deeply ingrained. But letting go of it allowed me to create a life of balance and freedom, where I’m not just working for the sake of working but building something sustainable for myself and my family. That shift has been one of the most valuable lessons of my journey.
