SUCCESS: Why You Need to Be Global to Succeed Locally
The most exciting business ideas often come from our own needs, but in today’s global marketplace, we absolutely must go further than our own backyard to create, test and ultimately deliver to our ultimate customers. Sharing lessons from his own acquired app, Cuddlr, Damon shows the many ways we need to go beyond our social circle (and our comfort zone) to better understand what the market needs and to serve our most important communities.
