Masters Of Scale is about more than scaling. At its core, it's
a book about how wildly successful people have noticed what others haven't, what they did with those ideas and what they learned along the way despite various setbacks. It's also about
how curiosity, perseverance, humility and risk have helped turn seemingly impossible ideas into lucrative businesses. *
