I got death threats.” He gave them advice about taking everything they learn in a job as valuable lessons. He mentioned, “All the times you worked hard to have good grades, and all the times you failed a class, and had to come back and really boss yourself up and get it right, that’s what it’s all about.”

The event Sean spoke at was part of his mothers Myra Anderson’s, Sean Anderson Foundation Mogul Prep program.
