212: Failing His Way to a $100M+ After Quitting Wall Street with Jeremy Delk


Listen Later

What does it take to rebound from crushing losses, build multiple successful companies, and turn setbacks into strategic investments? 

In today’s episode, I sit down with Jeremy Delk, founder of Delk Enterprises, who has mastered the art of “failing forward” to build a diverse portfolio of profitable ventures.

Starting as a Wall Street trader who earned and lost millions by age 20, Jeremy’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. He shares his path from trading chaos to strategic exits, including the highs and lows of investing in early-stage companies, the lessons learned from losing big on a Ponzi scheme, and how global travel opened his perspective on business and life.


In this episode, you’ll learn:


✅ Jeremy’s incredible story of making millions at 19, losing it all in four days, and building a powerhouse VC fund across multiple industries.

✅ Strategies for building teams and systems that allow you to lead without micromanaging. 

✅ Jeremy’s tips for exiting at the perfect time, what makes a company worth betting on, and how to avoid the common traps that catch many entrepreneurs when they try to shift from founder to investor.
