“My attitude is that the best way of learning how to run a company is just to try it.”
Richard Branson
Founder
Virgin Group
.…speaking at an RM72 entrepreneur event Tuesday night at Virgin Hotels Dallas, via the Dallas Morning News.
He’s been flown into space on his own Virgin Galactic space plane. He’s crossed the Atlantic and Pacific in a hot air balloon, and set a speed record for crossing the Atlantic in a powerboat. But billionaire Richard Branson’s biggest daredevil acts have arguably been founding businesses—from Virgin Records to Virgin Atlantic to Virgin Mobile to Virgin Hotels and many, many more.
Tuesday night, Branson made Dallas his latest destination by speaking at an RM72 entrepreneur program event at Virgin Hotels Dallas in the city’s Design District.
“RM72 highlights Virgin Hotels’ commitment to supporting and nurturing the next generation of business leaders,” Branson said at the event, according to the Dallas Morning News’ Irving Mejia-Hilario. “Whether or not they are guests of the hotel, we want to provide them with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate the ever-evolving business world.”
