On Jan. 29, the Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship’s Distinguished Lecture Series will feature Grant Cardone, founder and CEO of three multi-million dollar companies: Cardone Enterprises, Cardone Training Technologies and The Cardone Group. About 150 attendees are expected at his lecture, which is open to the public, in the DeSantis Building Grand Room at 10:30 a.m.
Cardone was suggested to the Office of Development by Rick Case, an NSU Hall of Fame member, for his many accomplishments and in-depth knowledge of business.
Pamela Reaves, assistant to the Office of Development, said, “Case and Cardone have done work together in the past, and Cardone is very versed in the subject of sales.”
According to the event’s organizers, Cardone is a self-made million, best known for customizing programs to maximize a company’s profitability and brand, along with turning around troubled companies. His ultimate ambition is to help people live more successfully, both personally and professionally. He has two interactive online sales training centers, which seek to bring innovative sales training tools, technologies and solutions to life.
Cardone was also the executive producer and star of the reality show “Turnaround King”, which aired on the National Geographic Channel in 2011, and is the host of the weekly radio show “Cardone Zone” on Sirius XM. He’s also a frequent guest on Fox Business, CNBC and MSNBC.
Christine Martinez, event coordinator for the Huizenga School of Business, said, “We are not aware of what he will be speaking about in detail because we usually give our speakers free reign.”
The next Distinguished Lecture Series event is on February 21. Lillian Lambert, the first African American woman to receive a Harvard Business School MBA, will present “The Road to Someplace Better: From the Segregated South to Harvard Business School and Beyond.”
To RSVP to either lecture or for more information, call Martinez at 954-262-5008 or email her at cmartinez@nova.edu.
