Summary
In this episode of The Money Mondays, Dan Fleyshman sits down with real estate developer, investor, and author Jarek Tadla to explore the deeper side of wealth.
Jarek shares his remarkable journey from earning $4 an hour as an immigrant dishwasher to building a billion-dollar real estate portfolio. But his story isn’t just about money—it’s about the mental, emotional, and spiritual battles that come with success.
Together, Dan and Jarek dive into:
Why fear and comfort zones hold people back
The difference between inheritance and legacy when raising children
How chasing external validation nearly cost Jarek his life
The importance of inner wealth, emotional intelligence, and self-worth
Why giving your time and energy matters more than writing checks
This is an unfiltered conversation about money, mental health, family, and fulfillment—and why true wealth begins within.

| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Money's podcast, where |
| 0:09.6 | normally we cover these three core topics, how to make money, how to invest money, how to |
| 0:13.6 | give away to charity. But our guest is going to put a bit of a twist on that and talk about |
| 0:17.7 | the importance of mental health and things that are going on with society, especially with men and what goes on in their world. And so I'm going to be weaving in money, finances, when someone gets rich, what happens to their world, their household, divorces and situations, and he's going to talk about the things that are really truly impactful to him in his world. As he's accumulated this large, multi-family commercial real estate portfolio, |
| 0:38.2 | he's pivoted and turned to something that's very important to him and what he's seen in our society. He's written a book about it, he's made his own podcast about it, and so we're gonna dive deep into that. Now, as you guys know, these podcasts are super important to me because so many people grew up thinking it's rude to talk about money. It's ridiculous. we have to talk about money. |
| 0:54.3 | You've gotta be able to talk with your family, |
| 0:55.7 | your friends, your employees, your coworkers, |
| 0:57.8 | about money. It's ridiculous. We have to talk about money. You've got to be able to talk with your family, your friends, your employees, your coworkers about money because it's part of our daily lives. Money is not the root of all evil. Are there some evil parts to money? Maybe. But what we do know is money covers your medical expenses, your family, when your mom needs something, when your friends need something, when your kids need something, money is involved. So we've got to remove this concept that money is rude or |
| 1:14.4 | evil or any of those things. It is a tool, it is functional, and is important to your daily life. |
| 1:18.9 | So without further ado, I'm going to have our guests give a quick two-minute bio, so we get |
| 1:23.3 | straight to the money. Okay. My name is Yarechtadla. |
| 1:28.3 | I'm emigrant from Poland. |
| 1:30.3 | I moved here at 93. |
| 1:33.3 | And it's funny that you talk about money. |
| 1:36.3 | It's when you don't talk at home about money and that's how you grow up, that's what's |
| 1:42.3 | going to happen, you know? Like people ask me, up that's what's going to happen you know like |
| 1:44.6 | people ask me what is the reason that I accomplish you know all the successes if it comes to |
| 1:50.1 | you know real estate and all the businesses I built because I always have zero emotional |
| 1:56.6 | attachments to money zero but people it's like we think the money, something got to work hard, |
| 2:03.4 | you got to save. This is not true. And what happened is our parents and our grandparents and our |
| 2:08.6 | grand grandparents, they didn't know any better. So it's our own, if you're listening to this, |
| 2:13.8 | it's your own responsibility, accountability to break the curse and own it |
