We recently collaborated with Fathy Shatiah, CEO at 7CLingo. Here we discuss whether to scale globally fast or localize deeply market by market.

Fathy shares a powerful insight: scaling fast without understanding local context means scaling your blind spots. Cultural intelligence is not optional. It is the foundation.

This mirrors a lesson I’ve seen across top CEOs: sustainable growth comes from building ecosystems, not just chasing reach. When you invest in understanding customers, partners, and markets deeply, you create value that compounds.

The same applies to writing a book. The best books are not written for everyone. They are written for a specific audience, solving real problems, building a community around your ideas.

Speed gets attention. Depth builds authority.

I dive deeper into the concept of ecosystem-driven growth on page 118 of my bestselling business book Wisdom From Wizards, which just completed 22 weeks on the Amazon bestseller list. Check it out at:
