In this week’s episode, Valeria sits down with entrepreneur, author, and speaker Elena Cardone. Elena opens up about the challenges and realizations she encountered after getting married, including the shift from independence to partnership within a marriage. She highlights the importance of continuous personal and mutual growth and reflects on how she and her husband, Grant, have built their success over two decades, culminating in their “billionaire” status.
The conversation explores their journey through the 2008 financial crisis, the sacrifices made for their shared vision, and the dynamics of codependency in marriage. Elena also shares her thoughts on money, the evolving role of a supportive spouse, and the power of open communication. Their conversation also touches on parenting teenagers in a high-pressure environment, aligning professional goals with family life, and empowering women to discover their voice and strength in their marriages and personal growth.
