In today's episode of Mastering Your Inner Wealth, Eric Malka, a highly successful entrepreneur and investor, joins Jarek Tadla to share his incredible journey. From arriving in New York as a 17-year-old undocumented immigrant with just $100 in his pocket to building and selling The Art of Shaving, a multimillion-dollar luxury grooming brand, Eric's story is one of resilience and determination.
The discussion begins with Eric’s early struggles—his family’s financial troubles, dropping out of college, and facing rejection. He explains how these hardships fueled his drive to prove himself and led him to start his first business in Puerto Rico.
Jarek and Eric dive deep into the challenges of success, the emptiness that followed after selling his company, and why wealth alone didn’t bring him happiness. Eric shares how he found a new purpose by focusing on emotional intelligence, self-growth, and mentoring young entrepreneurs in brand-building.
They also discuss the transition from entrepreneur to investor, the key lessons Eric learned about making smart business decisions, and how to evaluate opportunities. Eric opens up about the role of luck in success, the importance of consistency, and the major factors behind long-term achievement.
Join us as we explore the highs, lows, and life lessons Eric discovered—about business, purpose, and resilience—and how you can apply these insights to grow your own life and business.
