Breaking Free — Childhood Lessons & Fina...

GRANT CARDONE
About this episode
In Episode 262 of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone takes us on a personal journey back to his childhood, revealing the early experiences and emotional drivers that pushed him to seek financial independence.

From the loss of his father to the struggle of watching his mother try to hold it all together, Grant shares the raw truth behind what shaped his mindset and hunger for success.

In this deeply personal episode, Grant also confronts the financial indoctrination we’ve all been subjected to — taught by the education system and reinforced by banks and monetary institutions — that keep people stuck, broke, and dependent.

  • The myths we're taught about money, debt, and security

  • First steps to unlearning and rewriting your financial story

Real. Raw. Unfiltered.
This is more than motivation—it’s a wake-up call.
