It is time for another episode. I am Heneka Watkis-Porter, the host and creator of The Entrepreneurial You podcast if you are new here.
Did you catch last week’s episode with the man behind Spur Tree Spices, Mohan Jagnarine? It was an inspiring episode, to say the least! Mohan shared his journey, marked by humble beginnings with us. The experience of walking bare-footed on Guyana’s dirt track to get to school, having only got his first pair of shoes at 10. Oh, the lessons his life taught him! This week, I am speaking with a celebrity business owner, to learn about his path to entrepreneurial success. It is going to be another great one.
The Entrepreneurial You is supported by henekawatkisporter.com, The National Peoples Co-operative Bank of Jamaica Limited, Committed to the growth and development of their members; Profit Jumpstarter, and The Jamaica Stock Exchange (you should check out their podcast, proudly hosted and produced by me.)
David Letterman has a show, “My Guest Needs No Introduction.” I feel that way about my guest on episode 271 of The Entrepreneurial You. He is Gary Matalon, Director of the KLE Group, Nuestone Limited, Construction Systems International, and more. Gary is a business mogul and an adventurous individual who, from what I can see, has a zest for life and living.

Today’s Money Tip, brought to you by Profit Jumpstarter: Start Investing Early…
The sooner you start investing the better. By investing early, you allow your investments more time to grow. Money has a time value. Money earns and grows with time. Money grows with the power of compounding. Don’t waste your time and start investing today. Remember, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time to plant a tree is today!
Thank you for tuning in to this episode with Gary Matalon. A stand-out moment from today’s episode is learning about one of Gary’s gut-wrenching experiences as an entrepreneur which cost him hundreds of thousands of US dollars when a former Jamaican government reneged on duty-waiver for expensive kitchen equipment import during the set-up phase of Usain Bolt Tracks & Records.
In the nick of time, insight from a friend caused him to reach out to the Finance Ministry to ask about a payment plan which saved the day. What’s yours? Send us your feedback at henekawatkisporter@gmail.com or on social media @henekawatkisporter.
