I’ve been saying this phrase for about 2.5 years now and have been ending my podcast, newsletters and speeches with this phrase. In this piece, I wanted to get to the heart of what this means and why I keep repeating this.

Carthago Delenda Est

The phrase fiat delenda est comes from the phrase in Latin, Carthago delenda est, which means Carthage must be destroyed. The phrase is attributable to Cato the Elder. He would end all of his speeches in the Roman senate with this phrase, no matter what he was talking about. He was like a nagging mom shouting for her teenage son to come down for dinner. And, like the teenage son letting his food get cold, Rome ignored Cato until they suffered losses to the Carthaginians.
