In this unforgettable episode of the Wealth Genius Podcast, host Alonso Cuadra sits down with entrepreneur and adventurer Pete Luckett at a breathtaking retreat in the Azores.

Pete shares the remarkable story behind building a farm-to-table retreat from a near-ruin on the edge of the Atlantic, how intuition guided major life decisions, and why the joy of entrepreneurship isn’t the finish line — it’s the building itself.

The conversation spans Pete’s global journey: leaving school at 15, building and selling businesses, immigrating to Canada, growing a company from $300 to 500 employees, and eventually founding one of Nova Scotia’s most successful wineries — all while staying rooted in customer experience, personal brand, and human connection.

This episode is less about tactics — and more about how great businesses, unforgettable experiences, and meaningful lives are actually built.

👇 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why Pete chose an off-the-radar island to build a world-class retreat


  • How intuition and timing shaped major investments


  • What it really takes to build something from nothing


  • Why customer experience beats business plans
