THE PODCAST

Joshua Rotbart, Founder of J.Rotbart & Company, sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast to share his story of how he left his job as a corporate lawyer in Israel and eventually started his own bullion storage and services company. The unique business was not necessarily something that Joshua had come up with and launched on his own. He was, first, part of a company that literally handed him the opportunity to create a division within the company to do what he is currently doing now. Something many entrepreneurs on our show have brought up is the idea that work brings growth and growth brings opportunity. It would be unfair to say Joshua’s opportunity was pure luck; it was really just an opportunity that was given to him because of the hard work he demonstrated and the potential the company saw in him. Hard work typically gets recognized and rewarded. Josh’s hard work landed him a position that later spawned an entrepreneurial venture of his own. We, on the Wealth Preservation Podcast, LOVE hearing about the giant risks that entrepreneurs make and how they turn a sliver of an open door into a thriving, amazing company.

Joshua Rotbart, Founder of J.Rotbart & Company, sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast to share his story of how he left his job as a corporate lawyer in Israel and eventually started his own bullion storage and services company. During the time, right before launching his own firm, he describes being in a larger office setting and his discomfort with the typical office politics. In this clip, he details a story about how he was able to bring in a large deal for a company, but a simple disagreement with an internal corporate lawyer put him in the office doghouse. This is not unique to any company or industry; it is the nature of the inner workings of a large office and also a HUGE motivator for entrepreneurs to take the leap and branch off on their own.

Joshua Rotbart, Founder of J.Rotbart & Company, sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast to share his story of how he left his job as a corporate lawyer in Israel and eventually started his own bullion storage and services company. In this episode, one of the things we cover is how Joshua handled that delicate balance of getting started without really letting people know that you are JUST getting started. Or as Joshua puts it, not letting people know you are desperate even when you really are! Every entrepreneur goes through this struggle and some fall into the imposter syndrome mindset, but never really get out of it. When you hear stories like Joshua’s, you realize that every entrepreneur goes through this struggle. It is nerve wracking, stressful, but all part of building something new!

Joshua Rotbart, Founder of J.Rotbart & Company, sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast to share his story of how he left his job as a corporate lawyer in Israel and eventually started his own bullion storage and services company. As you can imagine, finding a job after relocating from Israel to Hong Kong was not easy. But like any great story, the struggle took a turn for the better with just a simple lead. Joshua was able to find a place at a company doing the logistics and transportation for precious metals. The company happened to be owned by some fellow Israelis. And while Joshua had zero experience in that particular arena, it became a launching pad for him to eventually open his own bullion storage and services company.

Joshua Rotbart, Founder of J.Rotbart & Company, sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast to share his story of how he left his job as a corporate lawyer in Israel and eventually started his own bullion storage and services company. Joshua’s first business venture actually took place while he was studying law in Jerusalem. Being raised by parents who seized opportunity, Joshua saw a closed down coffee bar with an apartment above it and took advantage of it. Law school is quite the undertaking in itself, but Joshua was able to partner up with a friend and balance out running the coffee bar while going to school. This provided Joshua with many memories, great friends, awesome experiences, and all of the free coffee he needed for school!

Joshua Rotbart, Founder of J.Rotbart & Company, sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast to share his story of how he left his job as a corporate lawyer in Israel and eventually started his own bullion storage and services company. So much more is caught than taught, and we wanted to know if Joshua witnessed entrepreneurialism growing up. Turns out his dad is still running his own accounting firm and his mother has ALWAYS been entrepreneurial, as well. Joshua goes into the various things he witnessed (or helped) his parents do, growing up, and how the attitude of striving for success was modeled to him at an early age. Joshua certainly did not get handed a thriving business; he had to build it himself. This attitude came in handy when he was alone in Hong Kong without a job or job prospects.

Joshua Rotbart, Founder of J.Rotbart & Company, sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast to share his story of how he left his job as a corporate lawyer in Israel and eventually started his own bullion storage and services company. Before we dove into his temporary coffee shop ownership or his current bullion business, we asked about his early childhood. Joshua admits that, though he had experience and exposure to being entrepreneurial, he really wasn’t that drawn to it. Later in the episode he outlines the two types of business owners: the ones who confidently take on the day and the ones who wake up and think about how everything is going wrong. He puts himself in the latter category. Josh is a GREAT example of how you are not exactly “born” an entrepreneur. It does not have to be a lifelong dream, a character trait, or “in the stars.” Anyone can take on starting a business -- it just takes a decision, dedication, and grit.

Joshua Rotbart, Founder of J.Rotbart & Company, sat down with the Wealth Preservation Podcast to share his story of how he left his job as a corporate lawyer in Israel and eventually started his own bullion storage and services company. While we cover a wide range of topics in his origin story, we had to ask the basics like, “Where does one keep gold?” With limited knowledge, only visions of a pool at Scrooge McDuck’s house, filled to the point of overflowing, come to mind. Joshua had a more realistic answer.
