Summary

In Episode 269 of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone delivers a raw

and unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to achieve true wealth

—and the harsh truths most people aren’t willing to face.

We've been misled, misinformed, and indoctrinated to believe that working hard,

saving money, and playing it safe will lead to financial freedom.

But the reality? Those strategies were designed to keep you in the middle class,

not help you escape it.

In this episode, Grant outlines the stepping stones to real wealth:

Breaking free from cultural and financial misconceptions
Understanding the difference between rich and truly wealthy
Why income is just the start — not the goal

This is not motivation — this is a wake-up call for anyone tired of playing

by rules that don’t work.
