About this episode

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have our guest Jeremy Delk who shares his entrepreneurship journey for over 20 years of investing, successful exits, and logistics failure, the framework of a Fouder-type mentality, his learning lessons from founding over 100 business, and how to easily recover from a failed business venture!

Jeremy Delk is a father, husband, serial entrepreneur, investor, speaker, author of the book, “Without  A Plan”, and Founder and Managing Director of Delk Enterprises, which originally starting as a real estate development firm, but has expanded into a diversified investment company holdings in biotech & healthcare, consumer brands, technology, building materials, and real estate development. Since 2001, his businesses have earned hundreds of millions in revenue, created 100’s of high paying American jobs, as well as other notable distinctions such as one of the fastest growing private companies ranked as #21 and #4 in health.

 

He started the day trading at the age of 16, learning and failing with each trade. At 19, he got his first job, making enough money and living a great life. But he quickly found out that corporate America is not what he wanted, thus, decide to quit to not lost his true self. At an early age, he encountered frustration in handling and investing his money as he didn’t have a safety net. He blew up a $2 million in just 4 days, and managed himself to recover from it. But it’s just a process of adapting failures that is vital to his success in business.
