The Cardone Zone

In this episode, Grant Cardone challenges one of the most accepted assumptions in society: that college is the safest path to success. Drawing directly from his bestselling book "The Wealth Creation Formula", Grant exposes how higher education has become a financial trap. 4 Years out of the workforce, massive student debt, and no guarantee of meaningful income often lead graduates into low-wage jobs. Grant breaks down why the real cost of college isn't just tuition, but lost time, lost earning power, and delayed financial independence. He also reframes the idea of "targets," explaining why becoming a millionaire is not the real goal. The true objective is freedom, control over your time, income, and choices. Without that context, financial targets can be deceptive and leave people chasing numbers instead of outcomes. This episode serves as a practical guide to escaping the middle-class mentality, questioning conventional advice, and redirecting focus toward income creation, skill development, and real-world experience.

In this episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant Cardone dives deep into the real definition of wealth — not just money or possessions, but abundance, freedom, and the ability to live without worry. True wealth is having more than enough of what you need and desire, while most people settle for survival instead of prosperity. Grant draws a clear line between being rich and being wealthy, exposing the limitations of the scarcity-driven mindset promoted by ideas like The Millionaire Next Door. Saving, cutting costs, and living small won't make you wealthy — they'll only make you afraid. You can't save your way to success; you must produce your way there. Most people live paycheck to paycheck because they focus on defense, not offense — trying to protect what little they have, instead of expanding what they could create. Using real-world examples from Bezos, Musk, Gates, and Jay-Z, Grant explains how the truly wealthy focus on creation, expansion, and contribution. They know that money is a tool for freedom and growth, not something to be hoarded. When you shift from controlling costs to creating value, you transform your life from one of worry to one of abundance. This is your wake-up call to stop measuring your life by cost and start measuring it by contribution, growth, and production. The moment you stop worrying and start creating, you step into real wealth. Catch The Cardone Zone on SiriusXM Business Radio or visit GrantCardone.com for more insights, tools, and resources.

In this episode, Grant Cardone dives deep into one of the most overused sayings: "Money won't make you happy."
