Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec says the best Gen Z career advice comes from Mark Cuban-it's that nobody cares if you're 'passionate' | Fortune

"Life doesn't care about your passion, and I don't care about your passion," Herjavec recalled Cuban saying during a show taping one season. "I don't care that you love golf or basketball or AI or cyber, I don't give a shit about any of that. What I want to know is, what are you obsessed with?" Herjavec added to Fortune. "Passion is easy, because passion is a wish, but obsession is an action. Passion doesn't demand anything of you. Obsession requires everything of you."
