Cardone Ventures is making huge moves. I have watched Grant grow his net worth the last 8 years or so. He is a great businessman and so is Brandon. I didn't know his full story, but it is interesting.

All progress takes place outside the comfort zone. I've found that I have needed to push myself and work far harder than expected to start my study and meditation music YouTube channel. If something is worth doing it's not likely to come easy.

Every time I watch this I get chills knowing I've partnered with the best Scaling Master to help my business get to the next levels and beyond! Thank you BD for all that you do!

You are not an underdog when your billionaire stepfather, Bill Austin, sets you up at 23 with a six-figure sales directorship in the Starkey hearing aid business, and then when your mother receives a $62-million divorce settlement from said stepfather you take the knowledge garnered from his business acumen to compete in the same sector. If I understand correctly, Brandon Dawson is Bill Austin's stepson from Austin's third marriage, and Brandon Sawalich, the current president and CEO of Starkey, is Austin's stepson from his fourth and current marriage. Imagine that, two stepsons both named Brandon. There's a lot more to the story than walnuts.

That's my friend, coach, and mentor. I am moved, inspired, and teared by his story.

[acaton]

Brandon you are the best, I love your story and I know it's true, I never thought that by going to a real-estate summit, I was going to find you there, as soon as I hear you talk I knew that you was the solution for all my business problem, also that's when I saw i was going to become a billionaire.
Thank you and thank you for exist for us
