info_outlineI'm proud to call this guy a friend - he's an amazing individual!
Sean McCourt grew up in Teaneck, NJ; a lower middle class town just outisde of New York City.
He his thankful to his Mom & Dad for instilling core values and just enough 'healthy neglect' to help him find his way in life.
After High School, Sean spent four years at Roger Williams College in Rhode Island, where he ALMOST graduated!
When he left college, Sean took a sales job with a staffing firm in Boston. And over the next fifteen years he often wondered what it would be like to have his own company, but the one thing that held him back was fear.
'I was afraid'
Ultimately, it was Sean's wife Katherine that inspired him to take the chance.
'Stop being a P@$$y - Sh$t or get off the pot. You can do this!'
And just like that...Longford & Associates was born.
One year later, Katherine along with their three kids (Jack 5, Claire 2 and Will 3 months) had gone to visit her parents in upstate New York.
Sean stayed home to work on the company and while at dinner with friends, he received a call from his father-in-law. that would change his forever.
Please take the time to listen to his inspiring story.
