    In this riveting episode of the Harder Than Life podcast, host Kelly Siegel sits down with Erik Rock—an entrepreneur who built one of the largest consignment furniture and jewelry stores in the country after starting from rock bottom. Erik opens up about his journey from sleeping on a blow-up mattress to scaling his business empire, navigating the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and making a deep impact on the world.

    Beyond business, Erik delves into his thoughts on leadership, the state of America, and the values that drive him—especially his passion for protecting children and supporting charitable causes. The two also explore Erik's views on politics, including an in-depth discussion about Donald Trump's leadership and how it contrasts with today's political landscape.


    Key Takeaways:

    • Entrepreneurial Grit: Erik shares his journey of building a business from the ground up and the mindset shifts necessary for success.
    • Leadership Lessons: The importance of leadership rooted in accountability, authenticity, and a no-nonsense approach to business and politics.
    • Political Insights: Erik shares his views on Donald Trump, the media, and how business principles should guide the running of the country.
