Why harvard isn't everything... #careeradvice #codiesanchez #businesstiktok #mindsetmotivation #ceo

We have 3,000 students that we've taught to do M&A, and I can always tell when a new one comes in. I remember one of my CEOs said this to me at the time. It was my first private company, and I went to this company, and I was like, well, you know, here's how we do this, and here's how I think we should grow this business, and he kind of smiles at me, and he nods, and he goes, it's gonna take you a while to rub the corporate off you. And I was like, what do you mean by that? And now, when we have somebody come to one of my companies, and they went to Harvard, or they went, Harvard in particular, but a few other schools too, like that, I always say, it's gonna take a while to rub the Harvard off you, because the thing is, Harvard teaches you that you are superior. I would take a callous hands, you know, former plumber who had run a plumbing team, and a business, and knew a P&L, and wanted to buy another plumbing company, over a Harvard, I'm doing a search fund, and I'm gonna buy a plumbing company, any day of the week.
