Every career is being repriced.Nobody is keeping score.

Five Fortune 500 companies taught me how those decisions actually get made. Twenty thousand professionals coached taught me how late they find out. Starting three companies on my own prepared me to scale the fourth — Farr.

Why Farr exists — the message that started it all

I'm working a parking deck making $30 an hour.

Someone I had worked with at a Fortune 500 company sent me a message. “I can't get a job, Marcus. Same thing I've done for years, no offers.” Twelve months earlier he was earning $300,000.

I got angry, then I went looking. The layoff isn't the event — it's the lagging indicator. A role goes obsolete six to twelve months before a company acts on it. The company sees it coming. The worker never does. He had six months of warning. I'm building what would have made him take action.

Mission

Helping people and organizations make confident decisions in the age of AI.

Vision
