And when he comes on the show, he shows his soft side and cries.Yes, I'm talking about my good friend, Grant Cardone.Grant was in town a couple of weeks ago and stopped by to record an episode with me. Since this is becoming a yearly tradition, we covered a lot of what he has learned in the last year as he has scaled his businesses.
