Tom Hall - A life of risk and a heart attack at the ballet

We met Tom at his very nice house in London. It's really nice! He shared his experiences in business and in life. He shared how he's changed and how his motivations have changed. What I like most about Tom is his ability to focus but never lose sight of the bigger picture including a super-skill in bringing his wide circle of friends and colleagues together. We talked about : How Miami Vice provided him with a focus on money 
Taking two companies public 
Having a rocket scientist for a Dad
Tom, the 10 year old entrepreneur
Why he chose a job over university
Being the worst salesman of the month and the shame of fishing in Oxford Street
How mistakes helped him grow a thicker skin
Moving to Hong Kong in May 1989 and how a salary allowed him to focus on rugby
Playing international rugby for Hong Kong  
His belief in luck and why he sees a fortune teller once a year
Having nothing when he was sued personally for £3.5 million dollars, 3 weeks after getting married 
Borrowing £3.5 million USD from a friend with no obvious way of repaying the loan
On the 18 hour days that led Tom to repay the loan within 2.5 years
Floating Playtech in 2005 and what it was like to lose 40% of the value overnight
How he took his company private having only just taken it public
The importance of goal-setting 
What happened when Daddy was asked to sign his daughters contract to spend time with her and not his computer 
Pretending to his wife he wasn't suffering a heart-attack whilst at the ballet
Waking up to the value of time   
The benefits of learning to say "no".
Working with friends
The joys of a shared experience
Why experiences are a better motivation than money
