Sir Richard Branson (@richardbranson), founder and chairman of The Virgin Group, is a world-famous entrepreneur, adventurer, activist, and business icon. He has launched a dozen billion-dollar businesses and hundreds of other companies.
His new autobiography, Finding My Virginity, shares the candid details of a lifetime of triumphs and failures and provides an intimate look at his never-ending quest to push boundaries, break rules, and seek new frontiers.
I loved our conversation, and we covered a lot, including:
Richard's thoughts on "clean meat," block chain, and cryptocurrency
How he's coped with dyslexia, and how his parents helped make him resilient
Behind-the-scenes stories of deal-making, PR stunts, big wins, and big losses
The habits (and life decisions) he's used to maintain high energy levels for decades
How Richard masterfully caps/limits downside risk, even though he's perceived as a risk taker
How and why he takes regular 1-2-month (sometimes longer) breaks from alcohol
Favorite books
Lessons learned from Nelson Mandela and other mentors
And much more...
Enjoy!
This podcast is brought to you by Ascent Protein, the best protein I've ever tried. Ascent is the only US-based company that offers native proteins -- both whey and micellar casein -- directly to the consumer for improved muscle health and performance. Because the product is sourced from Ascent's parent company, Leprino Foods -- the largest producer of mozzarella cheese in the world -- it's entirely free of artificial ingredients and completely bypasses the bleaching process common to most other whey products on the market.
If you want cleaner, less processed protein, which I certainly do, go to ascentprotein.com/tim for 20 percent off your entire order.
