On today’s show, we’re going to be talking about one of the most famous billionaires on the planet, Mr. Richard Branson. Richard is the founder of the Virgin Group and his holding company has more than 400 companies worldwide. Branson got his start as an entrepreneur at the age of 16 when he started his own magazine. He self-built his $5 billion empire from there. 

On today’s show, we are going to cover some of Branson’s interesting exchanges that define his personality and that made him the business mogul he is today. Without further delay, here’s our show covering billionaire Richard Branson.

All right, welcome to The Investor’s Podcast. I’m your host Preston Pysh. As always, I’m accompanied by my co-host, Stig Brodersen. Like we said in the introduction, we’re super excited to be talking about Richard Branson today. 

The first question that we’re going to be talking about is this: “You started off an airline company with one aircraft. You purchased the 747, and then you grew it from there into Virgin Airlines. How do you start and go from zero to one, because so many people are paralyzed with that very first step?” 

This is Richard’s response to that question.
