If you are glass half empty type of person, maybe you just haven’t been holding the right glass

Education doesn't just take place in stuffy classrooms and university buildings, it can happen everywhere, every day to every person.

First of all, if you're setting up a new company, you want to try to find a brand that can work on a global basis.

There is no real difference between work and play - it’s all living.

I think business leaders all over the world should not just think of how we can make lots of money, which is fine, but to take some of the problems in the world and get out there and tackle them using business. I think that if businesses do that we can get on top of these problems.

I was a risk-taker as a young man, and I don't regret it. I'm not adventurous in quite the same way now, but I still love the challenge of testing myself to the limits, flying around the world, or seeing if I can be the first to fly a balloon across the Atlantic, or trying to take people into space at an affordable price in an environmentally friendly way. I'll be going into space with three generations of my family!

To be a great leader, you must be a great listener
