The Man Who Saved Yes Theory (Yes Theory's Head of Operations)

Hey everybody, so excited for this one :) Pedro Paiva is the Head of Operations at Yes Theory. He’s been with us for two years. When he first arrived, our system was in shambles. We needed someone to come in an re-organize the ship. He’s done an incredible job since then and has become such a good friend, that I felt it would be awesome for you guys to get to know him. This podcast is for anyone with a dream job or anyone who is curious about how things work behind the scenes here. I think you’ll love it :) Enjoy! -Matt Newsletter: http://www.mattdahlia.substack.com Preorder the book: http://www.seekdiscomfort.com/book Timecodes: 0:00: Intro 1:07: Pedro’s story 11:30: Pedro finding Yes Theory 13:23: Pedro applying for Yes Theory job 19:29: Difficult time in Yes Theory 24:26: Doing what you love is hard 28:10: Adjusting to getting older 30:54: Being affected by metrics 32:14: Creator burnout 36:15: Why are we doing Yes Theory? 39:18: Views vs. Sustainability 42:18: Theme of the book 46:31: Stepping into the unknown 50:00: Matt’s fear of leaving Yes Theory 58:30: Matt thanks Pedro 59:15: Pedro’s final words to the community
