Elena Cardone grew up believing that wealth and entrepreneurship were only for the privileged. Her fierce independence made her resistant to building with anyone. But when the 2008 recession threatened their finances while she was pregnant, she abandoned her lone-wolf mentality, stepped back from acting, and bet everything on a shared vision with her husband, Grant Cardone. That decision laid the foundation for their multi-billion-dollar business empire. In this episode, Elena shares how to break free from limiting beliefs, align with your partner on your goals, and develop the mindset needed to grow a thriving business and family legacy.

[air whooshes] Hey, Young and Profiteres. When I think back to the early days of YAP Media, I was way too scrappy. I'm talking about working out of coffee shops, bouncing between public wifi networks, and hotspotting from my phone just to get through on a client call without the connection dropping. But looking back, it was actually adding a lot of unnecessary stress, because you realize pretty quickly your business is only as strong as your connection. It's how you run meetings, serve clients, and keep everything moving, and that's exactly why I wish I had AT&T Business back then. AT&T Business is a reliable provider for small business owners. For Small Business Month, we celebrate small businesses by helping them run better. This means reliable uptime, easy switching, smart communications. You need a provider that is as serious about your success as you are, like AT&T Business. Built to work, get AT&T Business at business.att.com. That's business.att.com.
