You have cancer cells.
Right now, as you're reading this.
We all do.
Most of them never amount to anything. They just... exist. Quietly. Doing their thing without causing drama.
Your body figured out something most businesses haven't.
Cancer cells are basically the know-it-all manager of biology. They're all ego, no listening. Growth at all costs. Make decisions fast, ignore feedback, overwhelm the system.
They ignore every system that keeps an organism healthy:
Operations? What operations? Cancer cells don't believe in quality control or sustainable processes. They already know what works—who needs input from other departments?
Finance? They burn through resources without consulting anyone. No forecasting, no collaboration with the finance team, just spend because they know best.
Sales & Marketing? They can't be bothered to listen to what the market (your body) actually needs. They just replicate their same approach because obviously it's perfect.
Product Development? Their solution never evolves. It's the same rigid approach, copied a billion times, because why would they need to learn from their team?
Sound like any companies you know?
Meanwhile, healthy organisms have cracked the code.
They don't eliminate cancer cells—they create environments where cancer cells can't win. They build systems so robust, so interconnected, that the hustlers can't take over the neighborhood.
Your immune system doesn't work harder. It works smarter.
Your circulatory system doesn't just move fast. It moves resources to where they create the most value.
Your nervous system doesn't just broadcast louder. It listens first, then responds precisely.
Your DNA doesn't just scale. It replicates with intention and quality.
The irony?
Most "aggressive growth strategies" in business are just know-it-all manager syndrome applied at scale.
And most "disruption" is just really expensive refusal to listen.
The companies that last understand what your body figured out thousands of years ago:
Sustainable success isn't about growing faster than the competition.
It's about building systems so healthy that unsustainable growth becomes irrelevant.
Your move—can we collaborate?
