Guest: Pete Bondarenko | PBAdjusting.com | AdjustingAcademy.com
This week on Minding Our Business, we’re chopping it up with Pete Bondarenko—a man who’s all in on Plan A. Pete’s the founder of PB Adjusting, a public adjusting firm based in Bucks County, PA, and the brains behind the brand new Adjusting Academy, where he’s helping train the next generation of adjusters to build real careers and real wealth in a recession-proof industry.
Pete’s story is nothing short of wild—in the best way. He immigrated to the U.S. from Poland at 16, barely spoke English, and came up through the hustle. From construction and network marketing to real estate and now business ownership, Pete's journey is a masterclass in grit, integrity, and self-made success.
In this episode, we get into:
What a public adjuster actually does (and why you've probably never heard of one)
Why there’s huge opportunity in this overlooked career path
What it means to really bet on yourself
How to spot opportunity (and why most people miss it)
The power of side hustles and strategic investing
Real talk about taxes, burnout, and growing out of your old circle
How PB Adjusting and Adjusting Academy are helping homeowners and future entrepreneurs win
