Don't be Nice, be successful - Mr. Wonde...

GRANT CARDONE
About this episode

In this engaging episode of Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone hosts the outspoken and often controversial Kevin O'Leary, also known as "Mr. Wonderful" from "Shark Tank." Together, they explore the provocative concept of valuing success over niceties in the competitive world of business.

The duo delves into their personal experiences, offering unique insights into how being overly nice can sometimes hinder your progress in the entrepreneurial world. They argue that success often demands a level of ruthlessness and that kindness can sometimes be mistaken for weakness.

With a mix of personal anecdotes, hard-earned wisdom, and a touch of controversy, Mr. Wonderful and Grant Cardone dissect what it means to be successful, how to achieve it, and the role that being 'nice' plays in the entrepreneurial landscape.
