Ever since uni, I wanted to build my own "thing", fortunately, I was given the best piece of advice I'd ever been given, period.

I'm always wary of advice given by others but this guy happened to be the CEO of America's 1st publicly traded furniture company so my ears pricked up.

He said, "Son, your missing 3 key components:

1. You've got no experience
2. You've got no money and
3.  You've got no business losses in the game"

I was DJ'ing at the timing working 12-hour weeks making $1,500, but honestly, he was right I had no clue what "work" was.

He said, "Go work for a start-up, where you control a large majority of the output. Make mistakes on their dime, get your reps. Once you've learned all that, then start your own journey."

And that's exactly what I did. For 2.5 years I worked for a clothing brand as the in-house marketing manager. In that time frame, I made countless mistakes, with countless all-nighters and stacked the chips in my favour. In the end, we took that brand from $503k to $10.8 million in 2.5 years.

From my experience working brand-side, we saw a complete breakdown of the advertising agencies. Their king of spin sales teams, promising the world and delivering sweet FA.

That left a sour taste in my mouth. With my love of brand, building solidified, I wanted the ability to partner with brand builders. People who defied conventionality and saw the "commercial agency" the same way I did broken and unable to provide the experience of a team tailored for their brand's growth.

That is the reason I co-founded thatsgood+ STUDIO and I now get to work with some of the most unique brands in Australia.

We ran all sides of paid marketing. We're a small team and always will be to keep impact high and 1-1 collaboration at the core of TGS.

These are just some of what brands have had to say so far:

“Working closely with the team at Thats Good Studio for over a 2 years has been a dream...Creating an omnichannel paid strategy, helping scale Merchants and implementing creative tech solutions. It’s a relationship that goes way beyond business; we’re glad they’re the team by our side.”

"We've been able to grow from 6 figures to 8 figures, with Laura and Sabian's help and guidance far beyond driving and scaling our ads...”

“We’ve worked with agencies in the past, they didn’t get our brand or the results we needed. TGS has decreased our CAC 5.8x from $162.28 to $27.98. Whilst showing us how to grow our brand for the long-term- guns.”

Hi, I’m Sean Shahkarami, I’m glad you’re here and I don’t believe in coincidences, so whether you know it or not there’s a bigger reason you’re reading this right now.

Over my life, I've realized most people don’t lose sleep over money itself.

They lose sleep over the questions money represents.

Questions like:

• What happens if life throws a curveball and I can’t work?
• How do I retire comfortably and with peace of mind?
• What happens to me, and the people I love, when I’m gone?

I help people answer those questions before they become emergencies.

My background is intentionally interdisciplinary.

I’m a CPA, a Robbins-Madanes certified coach, and I bring over 13 years of experience spanning:
	•	Corporate M&A
	•	Healthcare and mental health finance & operations
	•	Ministry and leadership development

That combination allows me to work with clients holistically and relationally, not transactionally.

My process is built across five integrated pillars:
	1.	Financial
	2.	Spiritual
	3.	Mental
	4.	Physical
	5.	Communal

Because real peace of mind doesn’t live in spreadsheets alone — it lives at the intersection of clarity, alignment, and action.

The people I work best with come from many backgrounds, but they tend to share common traits:

• Values- and faith-driven
• High integrity
• Builders — families, businesses, careers, or all three
• Long-term thinkers with a track record of follow-through
• Vision-oriented and impact-minded
• Open to guidance, coaching, and honest feedback
• Willing to take meaningful action rather than stay stuck in analysis

In other words, they’re not looking for quick fixes.
They’re ready to make aligned decisions.

If that sounds like you, or someone you care about, I’d be happy to connect and walk you through how I work.
