Save your seat: https://accelerator.theceoschool.com/ceo-week</p><p>Welcome back to CEO School! In this powerful and deeply inspiring episode, Suneera Madhani sits down with billionaire entrepreneur, mother, and visionary leader Elena Cardone for a candid conversation about mindset, partnership, success, and the journey from founder to CEO. Elena Cardone built a billion-dollar empire alongside Grant, raised two self-determined daughters, and did it by deciding who she was long before the bank account caught up. She hands Suneera the actual mechanics: how to assume the beingness of the CEO you&#39;re becoming, why your reactive brain keeps rerunning old survival decisions, and the be-do-have order most founders get backward.</p><p>We also get into the rules that protect an empire: why you stop venting about your partner and your team, how &quot;one team, sky is black&quot; keeps a marriage and a company aligned, and how to raise kids who own their own choices. Grab a pen. This one moves fast and hits identity, money, and motherhood in the same breath.</p><p><br></p><p>Time Stamps:</p><p>(00:00) Sitting down with a rare billion-dollar powerhouse</p><p>(05:27) Punk rock, loss, and leaving New Orleans behind</p><p>(11:35) Marrying at 30 and unlearning &quot;I need no one&quot;</p><p>(15:04) Why old survival decisions secretly still run you</p><p>(24:19) Surviving 2008 by turning marriage into one team</p><p>(27:23) &quot;Sky is black&quot;: having your partner&#39;s back publicly</p><p>(31:45) Redefining success beyond your own accomplishments</p><p>(37:56) Be, Do, Have: living from your future self now</p><p>(47:47) The three freedoms every founder is really chasing</p><p>(51:45) Why you stop venting about your partner and team</p><p>(58:35) Firing fast and making decisions like a CEO</p><p>(1:10:36) Raising self-determined kids who own their choices</p><p>Share this with a founder who&#39;s still waiting for her bank account to give her permission to act like a CEO.</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Elena at:</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elenacardone/</p><p>Website: https://elenacardone.com/</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elenacardone/</p><p>-----------------------------------------------</p><p>Elena built 10X Ladies becaus
