I don't have shareholders. I have investors. And when you have shareholders, you have to slow everything down. And so I can move really fast and, and I can secure assets from the big giants. There's no accredited, non-accredited to protect people. This isn't about protecting someone. I mean, if you just, when we started looking in this, I'm like, why is the number 200 grand a year? Well, because only a small percentage of people make 200 grand a year.

You've got to show up. Like, if you don't show up, you can't get lucky. You can't get lucky. Nothing good happens. Nobody's going to come to your home, your sofa, your bedroom, and give you anything. You're listening to the Radcast. If it's radical, we cover it. Here's your host, Ryan Alford.

Hey, guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast. Today, we're talking money. We're talking real estate. We're talking, Grant Cardone. What's up, brother? Hey, man, great to be with you. Hey, man, great to have you.

You've been on the short list. You know, you're not the easiest man to get on. But I'm glad we flagged you down. I've admired far what you've been up to. And glad to have you on the show. Well, thank you. And I'm sorry if my people made it hard to get on here because, you know, I want to do this. And you've got a great audience and people aspiring to be better and do better and do better things

with their money so I appreciate you having me. No, my pleasure, man. And I love the show. Watch the undercover billionaire finally caught up with that after the fact. Oh, cool, cool. It looked uncomfortable. Bro, let me tell you, that was the worst, like people say, hey, what's the worst experience of your lifetime?

Undercover billionaire was the worst experience in my lifetime for a lot of reasons. Obviously, you know, go in some place and it's one thing not having anything. It's another thing when you have stuff to not have anything, right? So like, and I did not even contemplate the concept of, like, it's been a long time since I have wanted for anything, right? And which I'm very grateful for. But to go to Pueblo, Colorado, I said, yeah, I can do it, guys. I can, when Discovery came to me and said, hey, how long would it take you to turn 100 bucks into a million dollar business? I said, not very long.

And, but I didn't really think about what it's like to go to 100 bucks. Yeah. I mean, you can do that for a day, but the second day, you're like, I got to eat. The third day, I need a place to live. Fourth day, like, I need water. Dude, I can't buy water. Like, when you got $100, you're down to your last hundred. It's like, I can't go to McDonald's.

I just love the vulnerability of you, man. The willingness to be where you're at. You know, that's what, I mean, maybe people see it. Maybe they get it. But I just was like, damn, man, this guy's got it all. And he's willing to be vulnerable and take this chance and be real. I fucking loved it. Thank you.

Well, it was hard. And then on top of that, I had to deal with these damn Los Angeles camp, you know, TV people. Yeah. So there was 19 of those guys. And they're trying to help me, right? Yeah. And I'm fucking scared. I'm hungry.

I'm cold. I'm like, they're like, oh, we're trying to help you on this. I'm like, help me. Dude, we've said, you want me to do bullshit three and four times. I'm like, y'all never said y'all, we were producing a TV show. You said you were going to follow my ass and see how I would turn nothing into a million dollars. So we don't need to shoot it a second time because I fucking did it the first time. And in business, there's typically not a second and a third and a fourth take.

No. So every day, bro, every day for 89 days, we were fighting. Yeah, man. Reality TV is not real, though. This was, I mean, to really be honest with you, like 100. 100% because of my character, because of the way I, you know, I'm like, guys, I refuse to have you guys help me or change this. Like they came to me one day and said, we got somebody you want, we want you to meet.

And I'm like, yeah, how do you have somebody you want me to meet? Yeah. And they're like, well, we met this person. We think they'd be very interesting. I'm like, 19 of you guys all put together have never built a million dollar business. So if I meet this person, you know, organically, good, but I don't need your setup. It's crazy, man. Well, I loved it.

I enjoyed it. I loved seeing that side of you. And I think it speaks volumes to you. But hey, man, you're up to a lot. Everybody can, you know, check your back history. I mean, you've written a number of bestselling books. But I do want to talk and kind of channel this towards what I think you're doing, which is making investing, especially real estate investing, approachable for the masses,

especially the masses that follow you. Like we talked about pre-episode, so many people have to do all these things and they're motivating people, but they don't have a way for them to get involved. And I love that's kind of what you're up to, isn't it? Yeah, so we, I've been buying real estate for, you know, 25 years for my family. And, you know, a lot of people don't know this, but my other business is kind of, They're loud and shiny and they've been extremely productive for me. And they take a lot of work.

Well, I was quietly burying the money from those businesses for a number of reasons, burying them in real estate, one for the tax protection, the capital protection, for the passive incomes for the day that I'm not around. And I've always loved real estate. I've just always thought real estate was a great, very simple, very secure investment. And so a couple years ago, I went from 200 units to 2,000 units, 2,000 to 4,000.

You know, now I'm at 12,000 units. People started paying attention to it and saying, hey, can I invest with you? We started letting high-networked individuals invest alongside of me. And then I started not feeling great about that because most of my audience is not wealthy. most of my audience is aspiring to be wealthy, but not there yet. So we opened up a fund for non-accredited investors, people with 100,000 and less, starting with $1,000, can now invests alongside me in what are arguably the best real estate in America.
