Yes, sure, our guest today wrote the foreword -- but above all, she&apos;s a huge inspiration to me and thousands of other founders around the world.</p><p>That&apos;s because <b>Linda Rottenberg</b> co-founded <b>Endeavor</b> and has led the global entrepreneurship movement since 1997. Back then, people would call her Chica Loca — or “the Crazy Girl”. Why crazy? Linda insisted that high-growth, <b>high-impact entrepreneurs</b> exist outside of Silicon Valley; almost no one believed her.</p><p>Now with offices in 40 locations, Endeavor rigorously selects, scales up, and co-invests in the fastest growing founders in emerging and underserved markets. There are currently 2,500 Endeavor Entrepreneurs (Brian&apos;s one of them!).</p><p>Endeavor shows how essencial it is for every founder to count on a network of people who are a few steps ahead in the game and then give back.
