WELCOME, I’M

McDONALD

In the challenging terrain of Corporate America and start-ups, where disdain often eclipses admiration, it’s not about falling in love; it’s about survival. This isn’t merely a job search—it’s a battle for existence, especially in the impending decade where AI threatens to upend countless careers. It’s about securing your financial future, flourishing when others falter, and thriving in a world where being savage, not average, is the key to prosperity.

This journey isn’t just about finding a job; it’s about your ability to support your retirement, pay the mortgage and bills for your elderly parents, ensure your children’s college education is secured, and determine whether you embark on that dream vacation this year or not. It’s about transcending the ordinary and creating a legacy that withstands the relentless march of time.

In the spirit of mentorship deeply ingrained in Corporate America and start-ups’ history, let’s not just pursue success; let’s redefine it on your terms.

Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
