Real Estate Entrepreneur, Mental Health Advocate and Author
Jarek Tadla is a seasoned real estate investor and passionate advocate for mental health awareness. With over 30 years of experience in residential and commercial real estate investment, he has cultivated a portfolio spanning thousands of units globally. Originally from Poland, Jarek embarked on his journey to achieve the American Dream, recognizing that every role, from dishwasher to boss, played a pivotal part in his development.
As the owner-operator of Peoples Choice Apartments LLC, Jarek has grown his real estate empire to one of the largest singularly owned real estate holding companies without investor equity in the country. Over the years, he has remediated and renovated countless properties, not only improving financial performance but also enhancing the overall living conditions for his tenants, a problem Jarek frequently experienced when he immigrated in the 90s.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Jarek is a fervent advocate for mental health awareness and support. Having navigated his own demons with depression, he shares his deeply personal journey to inspire hope and resilience. As a man who came from nothing and built a hugely successful company, Jarek struggled to understand how you can have “everything in the world, but still feel alone, unworthy, and miserable.”
Jarek believes mental health is a systematic epidemic that must be addressed more publicly, regardless of social status. A life altering accident and COVID awakened his passion to write his forthcoming book, Not Enoughness: The Gift and The Curse.
Through motivational speaking, workshops, and one-on-one coaching, Jarek is on a mission to create a safe space for individuals to explore their challenges, find solace, and discover their inner strength. His lifelong goal is to help others overcome adversity, foster resilience, and create a community of support.
A media favorite, Jarek has been featured on FOX Detroit, ABC Las Vegas, The Rhode Show, Indy Now, Forbes, Good Morning America, and TommyG.
