But seriously, that’s one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard – treating his elderly mother like that and then bragging about it as if it was a deed of shinning goodness.

I guess Grant Cardone doesn’t subscribe to LRH’s “Two Rules for Happy Living”: create only those effects that others can easily have and be able to have anything. And the corollary: don’t create effects that others can’t easily have. If I’d known about this at the time I would have turned him in for Elder Abuse.

Maybe he is the guy Miscavige watches the tom Cruise auditing tapes with.

Can you link to the bio on his own blog?

Certainly. It looks like you have at least a couple of us who can help update Wiki.

In case there is any doubt about Cardone’s sadism toward his mother and his warped mind read this excerpt from a tribute he wrote about his mother in the Huffington Post – “My twin brother, Gary Cardone and I spent the last 20 years selling, persuading, convincing and even pressuring my aging mother to say ‘Yes’ to the experiences of life. We pushed her, even against her will, to do things she did not want to ensure she lived life. During her senior years we forced her to do things that she was resistant to and uncomfortable with. We often made her stay out later than she thought herself capable. I remember a trip to Vegas where I kept my mother up all night to the point of her being exhausted just so we could watch the sun come up together. I once made her walk the hilly streets of San Francisco until she thought her lungs would explode. I planted flowers with her long after she complained about her body aching and then insisted she make me dinner. I made her dance with me at my wedding to rap music even though it embarrassed her. I would wait until she got in bed at night and call her just to get her up, and then call her early in the morning just to piss her off.

Many expressed concerns that we pushed my mother too hard, but we thought it better that she die, living life rather than die never experiencing it. It rarely cost any money to create these moments but just some of my time, energy and in many cases a great deal of persistence. Whether it was taking a simple walk through the neighborhood that her exhausted her or going for a drive to look at houses for no reason except to get out the house, we pushed her to say ‘Yes’ even when her inclination was to say ‘No!’ I would make her go to Starbucks with me before she even got out of her robe in the morning, promising her that she could just sit in the car, and then once we got there I made her go in with me. We made her go to movies she had no interest in and play games with us until the wee hours of the morning that she didn’t even like. I made her try foods that she thought she wouldn’t like and took her places she felt uncomfortable.”

When I first read this I thought it was a satirical article written to make fun of Cardone but it’s 100% real, no joke. Here is a link to the full article. This guy is one sick puppy and I pray he gets EVERYTHING he deserves sooner rather than later.
