[00:03:27] Welcome to the show, Peter.

[00:03:29] Petar Krastev: Thanks for having me, Scott. It's a

[00:03:30] Scott Maderer: pleasure to be here. Absolutely. So I shared a little bit in the intro about some of the trials and the tribulations you've had on your journey to becoming a coach and doing the work that you do now. But I've always found that intros are Instagram photos.

[00:03:46] They only show a little bit of the picture. They don't show the whole picture. Would you go into a little bit more, talk about your journey and what has brought you to this point in your journey?

[00:03:58] Petar Krastev: If we start from an early [00:04:00] age, I guess that's where it all started because I always was the guy who, the kid was, that was bullied a lot.

[00:04:06] I was a kind of an average kid or below average. So I always had these ambitions to be something more. And I think that was a childhood trauma that I had. It really propelled me in life and I think I still have some traits, characteristics from that childhood trauma. I still have a little bit of desire to be proven or appreciated or noticed.

[00:04:30] I know that's not very normal for a lot of people. I think that comes from there and it's something to do with why I'm an entrepreneur, why I do what I do. So I always wanted to be different. But I was always failing. I got into drugs at a very early age, mixing up with the wrong companies. And that just pulled me in the wrong directions.

[00:04:53] At the age of 22 is when really, Things things went sideways when I had [00:05:00] to escape from my country and I just had one ticket and 10 euros in my pocket. It's a very toxic relationship. I was a stepdad of a, of another child and I had to live in the situation and land in the UK.

[00:05:17] And I think that's when I started discovering what I know, what I don't know, what I'm capable of. I was really forced to survive for a few years and provide not just for myself for that. family that I had. And I managed somehow to go through a lot of struggles for a few years.

[00:05:37] I achieved what seemed impossible from the side. And during this period, I never believed I can, I could ever do anything like that. If I wasn't forced, it seems like God has put me through tremendous struggles so he can, First of all, show me that I'm not good enough. Something that I've discovered very soon after not good enough on my own.

[00:05:59] [00:06:00] And second of all to build me up and to having the character traits, the knowledge, the. Maybe the resilience that I have right now so I can do what I do right now. Yeah, is that enough? So early,

[00:06:13] Scott Maderer: early on, let me pick a few of those things apart. Early on, you mentioned that you got into drugs and you also mentioned the, feeling like you wanted to be something more and you wanted to belong.

[00:06:24] Do you think those two emotions were related? Is that kind of part of what got you into hanging out with the wrong people? Always. Of course.

[00:06:33] Petar Krastev: Yeah, of course. Maybe if I had the choice to choose between a healthier environment without the drugs, I would have chosen that, but we can't know the answer to this question because there wasn't such environment around me.

[00:06:47] You didn't really

[00:06:48] Scott Maderer: have that environment there to choose. Yeah.

[00:06:50] Petar Krastev: Yeah. So I chose the only

[00:06:52] Scott Maderer: option. Huh. And when you got out of that and got into the UK, obviously you were starting from [00:07:00] ground zero with nothing. As you built it up and as you began to, have some success was there that feeling of, Oh, okay, I'm going to do a different thing now or was it, were you being drawn back into some of the other choices that you have?

[00:07:15] Petar Krastev: I definitely decided not to go back to taking drugs or mixing up with the same type of people because my life definitely spiraled down to close to the end. It felt like I don't want to live anymore. It felt like I want to end my life very frequently. So I said, I will change the direction. So it wasn't like I wanted to go back.

[00:07:41] I really cut everything off all the parts, all the friends that I had I cut off this part of my life and I tried to move forward and I wouldn't say I immediately achieved success. To be honest, I achieved success in. Achieving what I wanted to do with that relationship that I had, something that I had to help [00:08:00] her to fix her health condition that she had look after her kid at the same time.

[00:08:06] I build myself somewhat of a future and a chance to do something better in future and have financial success. So I just was building the foundations and dealing with personal issues, but that was so big, to be honest. That was such a huge thing. If I didn't make it through, I would have never had the belief, the self esteem, the resilience that I'm having right now.

[00:08:29] So achieving these personal successes, it's what led, what propels me forward now in business entrepreneurship. And I have a pretty good life to be honest. I'm very blessed and enjoy that. And it's all possible because I was there. If I wasn't there, I would be. Like, I don't know, maybe if I wasn't going to be alive at all.

[00:08:53] Scott Maderer: One of the things too, that looking back on it now you're talking about how you went through that and you think in part, it was to [00:09:00] prepare you for what you are today. Just for those folks that maybe are, maybe they're in that valley right now they're going through the bad stuff.

[00:09:08] And they haven't come out the other side, what would you say to them to help them realize that, maybe there is something to this beyond just the pain that they're feeling in that moment?

[00:09:19] Petar Krastev: Yeah, that's a good question. And it's something that I often have to speak about because the clients that come to me.

[00:09:25] are very much in tough places all the time. I do have some guys that I constantly have to check in with and give them a little bit of encouragement. And as a believer in God, a huge believer in God and in his works and everything he does in us and through us, I always say that whatever he's put you through, there is a reason and that's not a bad reason.

[00:09:50] He either has to force you to grow and become better in some way, Or maybe you're there for something [00:10:00] else and you will be rewarded at the end. You have to continue going. And from my purely human point of view, if we can call it that when you're in these dark times, it feels like there's no end to it.

[00:10:14] It feels like this is your life. It really feels there's absolutely no hope. I've been there and I lived there. And I'm telling you my, my bottom lasted for a few years and they ended, it all ended eventually, something happens life goes on and you'll find yourself on the other side. All you have to do is just survive go through the whole thing, pray to God be patient.

[00:10:40] And just. Just accept it and try to build yourself up as you're in that space. The worst thing you can do is just sit back and wait for things to change. I think it's our responsibility for to make an effort to change. You can trust God all you want, but not sure if he's going to help you. If you're just [00:11:00] being lazy and whining about it.

[00:11:02] If you truly have faith in his works that will express in somewhat of enthusiasm from your side to change things and you will be working knowing that he will open the ways for you and he will protect you and he will help you and that's the attitude you need to have and if you have it there's probably not many things that we can't get out of probably you can make it and probably you can make it very strong and it will be very nice at the end so just have faith and keep changing things that you don't keep working you know don't live with a impression that everything right now kind of defines who you are.

[00:11:41] Maybe it's your relationships, your job, your finance, your house, maybe live on the streets. It may be health condition. Don't let these things define you. But if you don't like them, give it your best to change them. If you don't like the country you live in, [00:12:00] change the country. If you don't like the job, change the job.

[00:12:02] If that's risky and dangerous. Trust God and do it anyway, that's my advice now, obviously, don't keep me responsible if you decide to jump off the wrong building, but, you got to make an effort.

[00:12:17] Scott Maderer: So talk a little bit about how your faith journey evolved as you went through. These things and how that interacted with, how you came through it.

[00:12:27] Petar Krastev: That's a very good testimony that I have in my life and how God saved me up to the 28 years old. After all these struggles, I kept failing a lot and I went through misery after misery, everything that I touched in my life. Absolutely failed. Every decision that I made was a wrong decision and I was trying very hard to be a good person.

[00:12:48] I wasn't that good person. And that ended up scaring me. I used to think I will figure it out, but trust me, I was very hardly working on figuring it out and it seems [00:13:00] like I exhausted all my options and I found myself one day asking myself, what am I missing? I'm really missing a lot. And then I, then it's when I, God saved me or I'm, I found him, a guy told me to pray and explained to me how to pray.

[00:13:18] And there was a few experiences that I had that made me very curious and open to the idea of praying, even though I never believed in God in my life. And one night I prayed in the name of Jesus to be forgiven and to be shown the truth. Nothing changed in that instance, but on the next day something happened and I had like an encounter with God.

[00:13:38] And from that moment, everything changed like night and day. Absolutely, my whole feeling of life, my life, the people around me, the things that were happening, everything shifted. And I was like put in a new path, like in a new body, in a new life. And ever since I was, I've just been [00:14:00] extremely grateful.

[00:14:01] The first month, I was just crying almost every single day, multiple times, because I'm being so grateful. I never felt love like that. I never felt appreciation like that. So God pulled me out from absolutely everything. the end and gave me a new life that's better and greater than most people's lives.

[00:14:22] And he blessed me so much. And that's, that part is what really keeps me going because that doesn't stop. It's just still there. And I can never forget what I, where I was what he make me go through. What is he building from me right now? What he wants me to do. Now I'm seeing people's lives change around me.

[00:14:44] I'm helping others. I, yeah, I think if it wasn't the struggles and the pain, how would I even had the chance to appreciate what I'm having right now, who God is and how he saved me. [00:15:00] People don't understand that until you go through this. This is such a high, strong emotion that it's actually very hard for me to talk about it right now.

[00:15:09] So

[00:15:10] Scott Maderer: when you think about what you do today, do you feel like what you're doing now is in alignment with what God has called you to do?

[00:15:18] Petar Krastev: Yeah, it seems like it. The way I know it is, first of all, my spirit that I carry, that's the Holy Spirit, is in peace with what I do, and I always check in with it on making sure it feels good every time I do something.

[00:15:33] When I joined the industry, that was just a few months. I just decided to dedicate myself to fitness and that was a few months before I found God. It all aligned in that direction. It seems like it's all meant to be. And I'm constantly being blessed in my professional life. God opens doors to me that normal people don't have options.

[00:15:58] I can tell you specific [00:16:00] stories, but truly things happen to me that put me where I am right now and help me thrive in this industry and that I contribute that to him and if he's blessing me, if he's put me to on that path, if I can see that people are changing and being saved through my works, then I guess.

[00:16:19] Yeah, I guess that's exactly what he wants me to do. Where does he want me to get? Not really sure, but I think this is a path.

[00:16:27] Scott Maderer: So going back to the beginning of it, you said you, you had decided to put your life in alignment with fitness and that was a big part of your life. Before you had that moment of prayer, what do you, what was it about fitness?

[00:16:41] What, what attracted you to that as something that you wanted to do?

[00:16:45] Petar Krastev: That was purely my desire to be extremely successful one day and have everything, the freedom the money and not worry about anything because I'm, I failed multiple endeavors as a entrepreneur. Some of them turn into [00:17:00] business.

[00:17:00] Many of them did not, and all of them failed. And I spent about six months before I make the decisions to study the most successful people around the world. And I had my criteria for who is successful. I wanted to see people who are fulfilled, who are happy and who stay there, who like you see every day and they stay there for all your life.

[00:17:23] They are just super successful and they are just there. I wanted to figure out what makes them, who they are. And I did came to a conclusion, they all had two traits in common. One of them was they all loved what they did. And the other was they always quit. And I didn't have either of these traits. So I decided to reverse engineer the whole process as my last call.

[00:17:46] That was my final decision of what am I going to do. I decided to pick something that I can love and something that I will never quit again. And there was nothing that I can love back in the day. I didn't [00:18:00] love sports or fitness. I would say it was rather daunting to go to the gym and it felt exhausting and hard.

[00:18:07] I wasn't disciplined. I wasn't consistent. I had none of the traits that I have right now, but every time I was going to the gym, I was feeling better every time it was paying off. Every time it was making me a better person. Every time it was just rewarding experience from the moment you step in, even though I didn't like going in.

[00:18:29] So that made me think, Maybe I can start loving that thing. Maybe I can really dedicate my life to this and I did and it was like a Decision that I made very powerful decision. I remember the place where I made it how I made it I was just walking in the parking in Amazon and just said that's it. I'm going to dedicate the rest of my life to sports I'm never gonna quit again.

[00:18:52] It was as crazy as that. I wasn't a fit athlete or anything had no knowledge, but I did it. And now [00:19:00] six years later, I'm talking to you about it, how it changed my life, how I'm changing people's lives. And I think God made it all happen.

[00:19:09] Scott Maderer: So given that, you mentioned you tried a lot of other things, you'd failed at a lot of other things.

[00:19:13] And you just talked about you, you weren't necessarily quote good at fitness or anything else, but that you decided, okay, this is the thing I'm going to dedicate my life to. So it was really that feeling of wait a minute. This is making me feel, when I do this, I feel better.

[00:19:28] Was, is that the kind of big

[00:19:29] Petar Krastev: driver? Literally. Yeah, it was. And there was something about it that I always felt dependent on that because I wasn't a good looking guy. I was very insecure kid and I always had the need to train to feel more self esteem and feel more like I can fit in to feel more liked by women and to overall just feel better.

[00:19:52] But I always had to sacrifice my training for business and for work, and it was a cycle that I was living in, which is [00:20:00] accidentally now most of my clients who come to me, they actually live in the cycle and I'm helping them get out of the cycle. And it was that like always sacrificing. my fitness for business.

[00:20:11] And that's why my fitness was never up to speed. But every time I stopped my fitness, my business was falling apart. A few months later, it was actually exactly three months. There was a pattern. Every time I stopped training three months later, something bad happens and I can't cope.

[00:20:26] I desperately need to get back on track with training and everything. And I was starting training again. So it was very frustrating cycle I was living in. And I decided to get out of the cycle by making fitness my business. And I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

[00:20:45] Scott Maderer: So the kind of people that you work with, talk a little bit about, who you work with and what are they struggling with?

[00:20:51] Why do they come to you for help?

[00:20:53] Petar Krastev: I specialize in working with entrepreneurs and some sort of executives because they have the traits that I [00:21:00] had myself. people who build success, how, who are very good at processing, systemizing things following a system structure, but never find a way to actually make fitness last and being part of this lifestyle, they always sacrificed it.

[00:21:17] For one or another reason, maybe they've tried some diets and some methods and they get some results. And then when they stop, they lose it all. So that's this is the kind of people I work with and they come to me. They often want to lose weight. Sometimes they want to improve their general health. And I help them achieve these things, but also overcome this cycle.

[00:21:39] We want to end the cycle of starting and stopping. We want to create a sustainable lifestyle, which really requires personal change and growth. They need to start loving the process, which means they first need to understand it in depth. They need to experience the ups and downs, how to deal with them.

[00:21:56] And it's a very transformative journey. [00:22:00] And yeah that, that's how we do it. We work together one to one to achieve that on a very personal level.

[00:22:08] Scott Maderer: And you said you've been coaching and doing this for six years now?

[00:22:13] Petar Krastev: I would say six years ago is when I decided to dedicate my life to this. Maybe it's been like five years, about five years when I got my first clients.

[00:22:24] Scott Maderer: Kind of decided to turn it into a business. What is, what have you seen change in, either how you approach it or what, when you think about what you do, how has that changed over those five years?

[00:22:36] Petar Krastev: A lot, like literally so much but mostly they changed at the beginning when I was very blessed to be put in a network, the social network, which was called Clubhouse as soon as they opened, like there was a big boom of this thing.

[00:22:55] It's an audio only like Twitter spaces right now, Twitter spaces actually is a [00:23:00] model that came up from Clubhouse. Clubhouse was way before that. And it was absolutely insane. There was COVID then, everybody was at home, people around the world, and everybody was in this app like all day long. And I, Out of nowhere found a community there called Limitless Body and Mind.

[00:23:19] It was a health and fitness professionals community where we have experts from the health and fitness world coming up and talking and I had the chance to be the host. Like you are right now in this podcast, but I had an audience of hundreds of people, over a thousand sometimes. And we had the regular speakers who are like veterans in the industry of nutritionists, dietitians, trainers, coaches of world class athletes, world champions, black belts, scientists, PhDs.

[00:23:50] Whatever comes to your mind, we had it in the room. And I had this going for a good six months for about three hours every single [00:24:00] day, discussing topics, which I was coming up with the topics, anything that I didn't know, anything that I wanted to learn more about, anything that I found people find interesting, or myself interesting, I was making a debate out of it.

[00:24:13] I was like setting the topic. opening the room, starting asking the questions. And I was making this place, this room just go wild. You're having these experts who are supposedly knowing everything and they should have the same opinion. They were arguing like crazy.

[00:24:32] Scott Maderer: They

[00:24:32] Petar Krastev: were like debating things so much.

[00:24:34] This was the most debating room in like in the world at that time. That's how it felt. And You can imagine the amount of knowledge that I gained from that. It was a precedented amount of knowledge. What I gained from that room. People can't gain from 15 years in the gym floor if they just stay in one or two gyms.

[00:24:52] This, we're talking about a huge amount of knowledge that was shared through like decades, [00:25:00] maybe hundreds of, tens of decades, or hundreds of years of experience. all together in one room talking. And that changed me. That changed me like 180 degrees. What I thought I know about fitness, what I thought about any of that thing, which I learned from YouTube or some courses.

[00:25:20] most of it was wrong. I'm thinking in a completely different way. And ever since I'm mostly following the same methodology, the business changed. I became more efficient than delivering the service. The service became much more easy to follow, by the client. So we have the community now. The community is called the Limitless Boarded Mind again, and it's expanded into not just health and fitness, but also business mastermind.

[00:25:45] So I'm getting these people now together, which only they alone, they can just excel faster without me. And I'm just guiding them and teaching them. Yeah, I think that covers it.

[00:25:58] Scott Maderer: So when you think about [00:26:00] you said that before you had these beliefs about fitness from YouTube, from courses, from other things, and then, after going through that room, you changed it.

[00:26:10] If you could articulate what, Because I'm sure you're not the only one that has the beliefs that you had before. What were some of the things that you discovered you were looking at it the wrong way that, you know that, that experience helped you realize, wait, that's not the right way to look at it.

[00:26:27] Petar Krastev: So it's a very good question. We can talk about, for example, the diets, when it comes to diet, I used to know that it's important to be on a caloric deficit and that's how you're going to lose weight. And I was putting myself through restrictive diets and burning a lot of calories throughout the day, but I never understood how that actually is going to become my lifestyle.

[00:26:50] How is that going to really stick and I was following regimens that I found online from influencers or people on YouTube who advise you to [00:27:00] follow a specific diet like a carb cycling or a keto diet or just reduce the calories, reduce the carbs eats a certain amount of calories and they just give you the number and other people telling me how many times I should be working out.

[00:27:13] So I can look in exactly in a specific way. What I realized is through following these methods that I found online, I was always burning out, always not performing at my best. It was never going to stick. It was always like a massive challenge to follow these programs. I'm through my, I, extensive education in that room, I realized that there, there's a vast field of tools that we can use to create a personalized nutrition and training plan.

[00:27:45] Something that's going to stick to somebody. It's not about just One specific diet that we call it some fancy name and a workout regimen like for example I used to believe in calisthenics training and I thought calisthenics training is the best [00:28:00] training they managed to change my mind that calisthenics training is the best.

[00:28:03] It's one of the best training modalities It's a great training But there's also a bunch of other super great modalities and training varieties that can very much fit in somebody's lifestyle much better than just calisthenics So if I have to take a 50 years old man who's having some health complications right now, diabetes, doesn't have much time, has an empty garage, has a gym in 10 miles away.

[00:28:29] And if I have to give him a workout regimen and something that he can follow, I will create something for the garage. I'm not going to ask him to travel to the gym. I will ask him what weights he can lift comfortably and with that weights or without weights, I will create a plan that will achieve the same results that we want to achieve.

[00:28:50] So instead of picking up the diet or the training plan based on like recommendations online, which diet is best for [00:29:00] what or which training plan is best for what, I take the person, I assess what, His body is like what needs he has, what his diet habits are, what foods he loves, what he doesn't. I make small tweaks so he can actually implement them without causing tremendous stress in his life and making it a struggle.

[00:29:24] And Slowly, we make the right changes to, to get to that goal. I know it might sound like a bit of a hard thing to, to grasp. It's basically

[00:29:37] Scott Maderer: that instead of looking at things as this is the one best way that everyone should follow, you begin to say, hold on, there's a whole bunch of tools that I have in my toolbox and it's better to find the right tool for the right person at the right time.

[00:29:52] That it is to just say, this is the one way.

[00:29:56] Petar Krastev: Precisely. It's like trying to unscrew with the wrong screw. You might [00:30:00] do the job, but it's going to damage the screw next time. You're trying to put a screw in the

[00:30:03] Scott Maderer: wall and you're using a hammer to do it. It'll work, but it's not the best way to do it.

[00:30:08] Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I call my brand Inspired Stewardship and I run everything through that lens of stewardship. And yet that's one of those words that I use and it means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. So when you hear the word stewardship, what does that word mean to you?

[00:30:28] Oh, as an

[00:30:30] Petar Krastev: English for second language. I'm really not sure. Like it's more of a who I am for God and in my life. I'm more think of like a servant who is being put in life to, to learn, to become better and to serve. And that's what I connected with.

[00:30:49] But to be honest, I might be completely wrong. But I don't

[00:30:52] Scott Maderer: think you're completely wrong at all. For two reasons. One is that's actually right on track. And then two is, I'm asking what it [00:31:00] means to you. So there is no wrong answer. Because if you, if what it meant to you is That's what it means to you.

[00:31:08] That has to be the right answer to it. So let me ask you this question. This is actually my favorite question that I like to ask every guest. Imagine for a minute that I invented this magic machine. And with this machine, I was able to pluck you from where you are today and transport you to the future, maybe 150, maybe 250 years, but through this machine, you were able to look back and see your entire life, See all of the connections, all of the ripples, all of the impacts you've left.

[00:31:37] What impact do you hope you've had in the world?

[00:31:40] Petar Krastev: A very positive one. I want to inspire so much the young people so they never want to be what I wanted to be as a young person. I want to change the young generation. I definitely want to be that, not just through health and fitness. I see myself as doing health [00:32:00] and fitness.

[00:32:00] I see I'm never going to quit that. And people will know me for that, but the impact that I will have in the world will be much greater because I will use my success, my influence to do even greater things, not just in the area of health and fitness. I want to give people a path to follow. I want to make it a walkable path, something that exists there and they can just step on it and go.

[00:32:23] When I went into this wildlife world, there was no path for me. There was not even a sign, there was not even somebody telling you, you can find that somewhere in there. Everybody was saying, this is impossible, don't even try, including my parents. So that's the essence of what I want to be in this world, and how I want to serve the world.

[00:32:48] Scott Maderer: So what's on the roadmap? What's coming next for you as you continue on your journey?

[00:32:54] Petar Krastev: I have a few awards to pick. I'm going to Dubai now to pick my excellence in healthcare award. [00:33:00] I'm again selected for a national coaching awards in the UK, picking up some awards and building up the business. I'm learning on the side, some small other businesses now.

[00:33:09] And as, as I became more financially stable and I have a little bit more time, so I'm just growing and I want to grow the community. I want to grow everything to make it better. So it's only about improvement right now, improvement and making things better. It's all about that for the next few years.
