Summary
In this episode, Grant Cardone takes listeners on a sharp and unconventional journey where style, power, and influence intersect. Grant sits down with legendary fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger, who outlines his pathway to success—detailing the discipline, branding vision, and calculated risks that transformed a creative idea into a global fashion empire.
The conversation is then sharply contrasted by a candid and hard-hitting segment featuring President Donald J. Trump, delivering unapologetic opinions and commentary on leadership, politics, and the realities of operating at the highest levels of power. Together, these perspectives reveal how success is shaped not only by talent and timing, but by conviction, visibility, and the willingness to stand apart.
