In this "Lessons" episode, we're going to talk about what happens when success kicks your ass. You know - when you get everything you worked for and somehow feel worse than when you started. If you've been overwhelmed by your own growth lately, hiding from opportunities you once begged for, or wondering why the bigger you get the harder it feels, this one's for you. I'll show you why this is normal, why it's actually a sign you're doing something right, and what to do when you just can't anymore.

In this "Lessons" episode, I'll show you that most people confuse confidence with arrogance - and that confusion is destroying their relationships and careers. If your kids go to your partner with problems instead of you, if your conversations feel like lectures, if people seem to avoid deep talks with you, you're probably operating from arrogance, not confidence. I'll explain why this happens, what it's really costing you, and how to shift from needing to be right to actually being effective. By the end, you'll understand the difference between confidence earned through competence and arrogance borrowed from ignorance.

In this "Lessons" episode, Grant Cardone, real estate mogul and sales expert, challenges the mindset of scarcity and comfort that keeps people trapped in financial mediocrity. He shares his approach to raising financially confident kids by removing distractions, taking full responsibility for their education, and introducing them to work and investing early on. Grant emphasizes the need to unlearn limiting beliefs about money, especially those inherited from risk-averse parents, and instead adopt a wealth-focused mentality that prioritizes income, assets, and long-term prosperity. He explains how most people have unknowingly given up on becoming wealthy because they've been programmed to believe it’s unattainable, and how choosing discomfort over comfort is the only path to true financial freedom and generational change.
