Job Mobz

We’re halfway through 2025 and somehow… Companies are still writing “Bachelor’s degree required” in job descriptions like it’s 1999. Let me be clear... I don’t care where someone went to school. The best hires in my career I can't name where they went to school no idea. I care if they can learn fast, adapt faster, and get shit done. Some of the best hires I’ve made had no degree, no “right” background, and zero buzzword experience. But they were hungry. They executed. They figured it out. Meanwhile, I’ve seen Ivy League resumes collect dust because the person couldn’t operate outside a classroom. If your job posting filters out talent based on degrees, you’re not hiring for performance. You’re hiring for pedigree. And you’re going to lose. Because in 2025: - AI is eating credentials. - Proof of work > proof of attendance. - Everyone has access to the same tools, courses, and mentors online. - The best people don’t wait to be chosen they go build. I don’t need a transcript. I need traction. I don’t need a diploma. I need drive, motivation and passion. Hire people who deliver results. Not just people who paid tuition.

I hate charging people for consulting calls. I’d rather just take a few minutes and help. But as the requests became overwhelming, I had to start charging for my time. I learned a funny thing. Paid clients: $1,000 charge for 60 minute call. “Sean, thank you so much! That was so valuable and such a good use of my time and money. I’m so grateful to you!” Free clients: (me saying ok after they explain the financial hardship) 50% no show 50% disagree with me or don’t do what I suggest Crazy world out there.

Tune in next week as I’m featured on Going Public streaming on X Originals. High-stakes deals, bold moves, and a few humbling moments along the way. Building empires isn’t always pretty but if you’re playing the long game... it’s always worth it.

We made two acquisition offers to founders that were declined in the last year. The offers were for: $10M and $25M. Both went to zero because their VC's convinced them to swing for the fences. Not life changing money for a VC but significant money for a first time founder.
