Today, Andrew Griffiths is known for being a bestselling author and a global presenter. Of course, he is an overnight success right? Well like most overnight successes, where he is today is the end result of a lot of hard work, taking more than his fair share of risks, falling over often but always getting back up, dusting himself off, learning his lesson and keeping on going.

Over many years, Griffiths learned that there are three important keys to success – resilience, belief and determination. Master these and everything changes. See how it changed me…

A few of the things he is proud of achieving over the years are:

– Being an author for over 20 years, having written 13 bestselling books sold in over 65 countries (and #14 has just been released).
– His books have been translated into 10 languages, including Nigerian and Russian.
– Being published by two of the best publishers in the world, Allen & Unwin and Simon & Schuster.
– Officially Australia’s #1 Small Business Author.
– Teaching over 700 people to write and publish their first book.
– Been a professional speaker in various guises for 35 years.
– Delivered over 500 presentations from Mexico to Iran, from New York to London.
– Interviewed in the media over 500 times.
– And been an entrepreneur for 35 years, yep, He bought his first business when he was 17.
– He is also a frustrated zoologist, having been bitten, scratched, chased and held hostage by animals in every corner of the world.
– He is not Andy Griffiths the kid’s author, although they’ve had many cases of mistaken identity that are very funny.

Hopefully, he’s got lots more ahead.

Global businesses overlook critical network connectivity amid rising AI investments, prompting calls for reassessment of digital infrastructure needs.

In Short:
– Global expansion is crucial, but AI investments often neglect essential network connectivity.
– Most leaders seek growth in new markets, yet secure infrastructure support is widely overlooked.

Expanding globally is increasingly vital for businesses. However, growing investments in AI are leading leaders to overlook seamless connectivity across borders. Tim Sullivan from Coevolve highlighted the importance of global connectivity in a recent discussion. Operating in 82 countries, Coevolve offers insight into the current challenges leaders face.

New complexities in security and compliance are increasing. Although significant investment is directed towards AI, the network infrastructure to support it is being neglected. Research reveals 45% of investment targets AI, yet only about 8% is allocated for secure network architecture. There is a notable discrepancy regarding how global connectivity is achieved across different regions.
