In this powerhouse episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant brings you two extraordinary stories of ascent from nothing to the top of the business world—real-life proof that your beginnings don't determine your finish line.

First, Grant sits down with a real-estate force who went from $600 in his pocket to managing a $4 BILLION development pipeline. He breaks down the mindset shift that took him from pumping gas and cleaning dental offices to building Angel's Landing, one of the boldest developments in downtown Los Angeles.

His message is clear:

Cash flow beats net worth.

Money should work harder than you do.

Action destroys excuses.

His journey—from a childhood shaped by the struggles of the segregation era to sitting at the table with Senators, bankers, and decision-makers by age 26—proves that the American Dream belongs to anyone willing to hustle, learn, and never quit.

Then Grant welcomes Lloyd Blankfein, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, a man who helped generate over half a trillion dollars in revenue during his run. But instead of a privileged Wall Street origin story, Lloyd reveals the truth:
He grew up in Brooklyn public housing, hustling from age 13—selling popcorn at Yankee Stadium, delivering prescriptions, tutoring for $1.50 an hour—all fueled by one thing: escaping poverty.
His parents worked blue-collar jobs, and the motivation of "no choice but to succeed" pushed him from a tough NYC school to Harvard on a scholarship, and eventually to the top of global finance. Lloyd shares what it was like sitting across from titans like Bezos, Musk, and the world's most powerful financial players—proving that ambition, discipline, and refusing to stay stuck can take you from the projects to the pinnacle of power.

This episode is pure jet fuel for anyone ready to stop making excuses and start making moves.

In this episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone dives deep into the real definition of wealth — not just money or possessions, but abundance, freedom, and the ability to live without worry. True wealth is having more than enough of what you need and desire, while most people settle for survival instead of prosperity.

Grant draws a clear line between being rich and being wealthy, exposing the limitations of the scarcity-driven mindset promoted by ideas like The Millionaire Next Door. Saving, cutting costs, and living small won't make you wealthy — they'll only make you afraid. You can't save your way to success; you must produce your way there. Most people live paycheck to paycheck because they focus on defense, not offense — trying to protect what little they have, instead of expanding what they could create.

Using real-world examples from Bezos, Musk, Gates, and Jay-Z, Grant explains how the truly wealthy focus on creation, expansion, and contribution. They know that money is a tool for freedom and growth, not something to be hoarded. When you shift from controlling costs to creating value, you transform your life from one of worry to one of abundance.

This is your wake-up call to stop measuring your life by cost and start measuring it by contribution, growth, and production. The moment you stop worrying and start creating, you step into real wealth.

In this episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone challenges you to take action and claim the top spot in your space. Being first isn't about luck — it's about preparation, awareness, and decisive execution.

Grant reminds us that most disasters are forecast years in advance, yet few take the steps to prepare. The winners are those who recognize the signals, pivot quickly, and seize opportunity, while others freeze.

Learn how to anticipate change, adapt in downturns, and turn unforeseen events into advantage. This is your playbook to developing the edge that most people ignore — the edge that separates those who react from those who dominate.

In this episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone revisits his New York Times best-selling book, The 10X Rule, breaking down one of its most powerful distinctions — the difference between those who take massive action and those who don't.

Grant delves into the mindset, habits, and relentless energy that distinguish the successful from the unsuccessful — and how inaction, hesitation, and excuses consistently lead to missed opportunities and stagnation.

If you've ever wondered why some people seem to win consistently while others struggle to gain traction, this episode gives you the answers straight from the 10X philosophy that started a movement.

In this episode, Grant Cardone dives deep into one of the most

overused sayings: "Money won't make you happy."

Drawing from his latest book, The Wealth Creation Formula,

Grant challenges this belief head-on, explaining that while

money itself may not guarantee happiness, the lack of it can

create unnecessary limitations, stress, and missed opportunities.

Through his reading and commentary, Grant breaks down how

money is a tool — one that, when managed with purpose and

strategy, can amplify your freedom, enhance your relationships,

and fuel your personal growth. He emphasizes that true wealth

isn't about hoarding money, but about understanding how to make

it flow, multiply, and work for you.

Listeners will also learn how to create multiple streams of

income from a single event or opportunity, a central concept in

The Wealth Creation Formula. Grant discusses how value is not fixed

— it varies based on how effectively money is used, invested,

and circulated back into the marketplace.

Whether you're just starting your wealth journey or looking to scale,

this episode will shift your mindset about money, purpose, and happiness.

In this episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone explores the concepts of assets and liabilities—powerful drivers that shift depending on the relationships and contexts in which they are applied.

Grant digs deep into the distinction between intentional and unintentional liabilities. An intentional liability reflects the character of the individual behind it—it shows foresight, purpose. By contrast, unintentional liabilities reveal carelessness, lack of awareness, and ultimately a loss of control, making them far more dangerous.

Another key discussion is about diversification in your job. Adding value where you already are is the smartest way to increase income and opportunity. Becoming an asset in your existing role—taking on more responsibility, finding creative solutions, and producing measurable results—creates leverage and long-term wealth. While diversification is powerful inside your workplace, simply getting a second job outside your main work divides your efforts, just as investment diversification often dilutes your returns. The goal is to concentrate, not scatter, your energy and resources.

At the end of the day, building wealth and influence requires clarity about which choices move you forward and which hold you back. Assets create strength; liabilities drain it—unless they are intentional, disciplined, and strategically managed.
