Summary

In Episode 275 of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone dives deep into the powerful connection between failure and persistence—two forces that often define the road to success.

Grant welcomes two powerhouse guests: baseball legend and businessman Alex Rodriguez and billionaire and captain of industry Bob Duggan. Together, they bring their hard-earned experience and insights on real estate, business, and even what to do when the bases are loaded.

This episode highlights how failure has been instrumental in shaping their journeys and why persistence is the one ingredient that keeps champions moving forward—whether on the field, in the boardroom, or in life.
