My goals should all be making me stronger and tough enough to be able to facilitate our goals. How do I be strong enough to support Grant? First of all, what does support mean? You know, you asked me, how did you do that? He's the face. I was the actress. I was the frickin' face. How do you then go to letting him be the star? Right. That was like an adjustment. And you know, you're going to support a man? I had to look up what the word support was. Well, the definition of support means to show active interest in the success of. I'm not going to apologize for showing that for my husband. Other definition is to bear the weight of. So if I'm the support and I'm bearing the weight of Grant Cardone and all the world that comes along with that, wouldn't I have to be stronger than the thing I was bearing the weight of? So I have to apologize for being stronger than a Grant Cardone? Hell no.
I never apologize for the support role ever again. I love that you said the support role is stronger than what you're supporting, that support beam is stronger than what you're supporting, but you have that for each other and you help elevate each other. That's real love.
