The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett: E203: Richard Branson: How A Dyslexic Drop-out Built A Billion Dollar Empire.

Told at school that he would either be successful or in prison, with a value of over $3 BILLION and earth’s atmosphere the only thing trapping him (for now), it’s an understatement to say that Sir Richard Branson became a success. But behind the Virgin empire and its global offshoots, lies a dyslexic school leaver who never saw himself as intelligent, let alone a business person, who threw caution and conventional wisdom to the wind, transforming from business Virgin to visionary. In this invaluable conversation, Richard shares the riches of his hard won lessons and the wisdom that can only come from an exceptional life.
