Summary

If there’s anyone qualified to lay out the blueprint for dreaming big, living life on your own terms and turning your passions into your career, it’s the iconic Richard Branson. He’s fearlessly and boldly disrupted one industry after another as the founder of the Virgin Group, from publishing to airlines to creating Virgin Galactic (the world’s first commercial spaceliner), building an empire of more than 100 companies and 60,000 employees in over 50 countries.

Richard is an explorer and adventurer at heart, which has lead him on some great journeys, including being involved in over 400 companies…. wow. We get into not just the how he’s done that, but how he’s overcome challenges, work/life balance, and his life philosophies that anyone can apply.

Enjoy!
