What’s it about?

High-profile British entrepreneur Richard Branson is one of the most successful and noteworthy leaders in business today—but not because he plays by the rules taught in business school. In fact, Branson abandoned conventional education altogether, choosing instead to set out on his own at the tender age of 16. He operates according to his own set of rules, which have led him to create and develop multiple billion-dollar companies while expanding his world-famous Virgin brand.
