Listen "A conversation with Peter Thiessen"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I sit down with Peter Thiessen from Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mexico—a pioneer in the real estate industry among the Mennonite colonies. Peter shares the story of his childhood, shaped by a hardworking entrepreneurial father and a loving, supportive mother. At the age of 15, he came to faith in Christ, a decision that would become foundational in his life.We talk about the ups and downs of his journey—how he launched a gym business after getting married, only to lose everything due to severe economic challenges. Undeterred, Peter shifted gears and stepped into the world of real estate, where he has since found great success.What sets Peter apart is not just his accomplishments, but the heart behind them. We explore how his perspective has matured—from chasing financial gain to pursuing human flourishing through his work. His story is one of resilience, faith, and the redemptive power of re-centering our motivations.
