In this episode of Latika Takes: The Podcast, Latika dropped by a Superhumans pop-up in New York City’s Ukrainian quarter to interview Virgin co-founder Richard Branson. Superhumans is an NGO that specialises in prosthetics and rehabilitation for veterans and wounded civilians, to interview Virgin co-founder Richard Branson. The pop-up had a video booth, in which participants were invited to imagine they had stepped on a landmine and had three seconds left of their life. The idea of the three seconds is that that’s about our attention span these days, given social media. What would your last words be in this instance? Richard asked me to record mine, and if you are interested, this is what immediately came to my mind. I left this interview feeling that Mr Branson was more informed on Ukraine than most politicians I speak to about the war. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.

De excentrieke Sir Richard Branson is een van de succesvolste zakenmannen aller tijden. Zijn Virgin Group is goed voor ruim zestien miljard pond (bijna 19 miljard euro) en heeft zo’n 69 duizend mensen in dienst. Hoe geef je op een goede manier leiding aan zo’n bedrijf? Daarover gaat Branson in gesprek met Linkedin-hoofdredacteur Daniel Roth in de Linkedin-podcast This Is Working. Branson drukt de luisteraar van deze aflevering op het hart: het is ongelooflijk belangrijk om een empathische leider te zijn. Hij hecht dan ook grote waarde aan de mening en input van zijn medewerkers. “De taak van een ondernemer is om altijd te proberen het leven van anderen te verbeteren. Ook dat van je medewerkers.” Goed naar ze luisteren en ze menselijk behandelen is dus zijn devies, ook als moeilijke tijden vragen om harde beslissingen die misschien niet in hun voordeel zijn. Het klinkt nobel, een goede baas zijn om je personeel met plezier naar het werk te laten gaan, maar dat is natuurlijk niet het enige doel. Volgens Branson is het betrekken van je medewerkers bij het nemen van zakelijke beslissingen misschien niet de manier om het snelst geld te verdienen, maar op de lange termijn zou het de kassa weleens flink kunnen doen rinkelen. “Ook Virgin begon ooit met slechts één vliegtuig…” Wat daaraan vooraf ging, dat hoor je in deze podcast. "Richard Branson on leading with empathy in difficult times" is een aflevering van de podcast This Is Working with Daniel Roth en werd oorspronkelijk gepubliceerd op 12 januari 2023.

In today’s episode, I’ll be revealing the lessons I learnt whilst hanging out with Sir Richard Branson on the notorious Necker Island… As part of The Collective, a mastermind group of women leaders and entrepreneurs led by Natalie MacNeil which is an official partner of Sir Richard Branson’s not-for-profit Virgin Unite, I was lucky enough to be invited to Necker Island with Sir Richard Branson earlier this month. I was invited alongside 40 or so other female entrepreneurs who truly wanted the best for each other, and this love-based community really warmed my heart. In this podcast, I’ll be sharing: - How I was lucky enough to get invited to Necker Island - Our journey on a VIP speedboat to Necker Island (which may or may not have seen me throw champagne all over myself!) - What the notorious Necker Island is really like - What Sir Richard Branson likes to do during his spare time - My favourite things that Sir Richard Branson said during the trip - The drink that Sir Richard Branson orders (spoiler alert: it’s NOT Scotch!) - Lessons I learnt along the way, including the 4 “circles of support” - My personal highlights of the trip and why it was so special to me I walked away from this trip truly feeling that anything is possible and that “I can do anything”. We are living in a really abundant world, and you can feel abundant right now if you allow yourself to – you don’t have to hang out with Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island! I’d love to share this feeling with all my listeners today; you CAN do anything and there is infinitely enough in this world for you!

Lindsay Taylor, co-Founder & Director of Your Excellency Limited Virtual Academy shares inspirational learning for the EA, PA and Administrative Professional in her podcast featuring top guests and stars in the Administrative Professional community. This podcast is Episode 12 featuring Samantha Cox, consultant for high-end travel experiences and VIP Guest Services and former EA to Sir Richard Branson. As many of you know on 11th July Sir Branson boarded his VSS Unity spacecraft, soared 86 km up and arced into space for 4 minutes of weightlessness, I thought it would be apt to feature Samantha in light of this amazing space flight. And of course, you, the EA community are always incredibly curious about what it’s like to work for Ultra High Net Worth Individuals. Sam is incredibly down-to-earth (no pun intended!), full of energy and an absolute delight to Chataway to.

Inspirational quotes trigger something within us when we hear them and read them. They activate our emotions and sometimes when they resonate with us, they increase our pulse and get our creative or critical thinking juices flowing That's one of the reasons why I often share quotes from already very successful entrepreneurs with Mark Creedon, founder of Business Accelerator Mastermind in our monthly Build a Business Not a Job podcast. Today will be discussing some quotes from Richard Branson. Even if you're not a Richard Branson fan, and even if you're not in business or professional practice, today's show will be for you because I believe there are some great benefits you can reap by listening to inspirational quotes. Maybe when you hear Mark and I dissect some of Richard Branson's quotes you'll get a different or better angle on a particular subject. Maybe you'll get an insight into the thoughts and teachings of somebody a little wiser Maybe won't learn something new but the repletion of words will remind you of something you already know and hopefully it will trigger something within you to get you back on track or further down the track. Even if you're not a fan of quotes I hope you enjoy today's show because if you want to become more successful in life whether it's in business, entrepreneurship, investing or just simply in your relationships. 15 intelligent Richard Branson quotes Richard Branson needs no introduction; he is the daredevil entrepreneur who is best known as the founder of Virgin Group. If you're looking for inspiration, it's interesting to know that in school, Branson struggled with dyslexia and couldn't really adapt, so at 16 he decided to drop-out of school and start a youth culture magazine called "Student". The magazine was the starting point for a humble music store called Virgin Records. Today Branson has a net worth of over $4.9 Billion and having more than 400 companies, he is one of the most highly respected CEOs in the world. "Screw it let's do it." Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, just get started and get it done. "There is no greater thing you can do with your life and your work and follow your passions in a way that serves the world and you." If you're not passionate about your work, maybe it's time to think about making a change. "When you're first thinking through an idea, it's important not to get bogged down in complexity. Thinking simply and clearly, it is hard to do." If you wait until every possible detail is covered, you'll never get around to doing it. "If you don't succeed at first, there is no need for the F word (failure). Pick yourself up and try, try again." Failure is part of the process. Learn from it and move on. "You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over." "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." If you're not prepared and you don't have the right mindset, luck will pass you by. "Don't become a slave to technology – manage your phone, don't let it manage you." It's fine to use and enjoy technology, just don't let it take over. "Chance favours the prepared mind. The more you practice, the luckier you become." The more time you spend focusing on what you want to achieve and practicing the skills you need, the more opportunities will find you. "Life is a hell of a lot more fun if you say yes rather than no." Don't let negativity or negative people limit you. "A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts." You'll attract more clients, customers, and opportunities if you're enjoying yourself. "I have always believed
