TIME Interviews Sir Richard Branson

[KlassicJazzz]

he speaks and moves like he's animated by nick park

[TheLaneWeaver]

Richard Branson. what a boss!

[ackeeee1]

He's amazing :D

[DgurlSunshine]

YOUR ANSWER IS LOOSE BIG OIL & REPLACE WITH HEMP....

[beatles61]

@DgurlSunshine ... to make methanol? which is just as damaging to the environment?

[DgurlSunshine]

@beatles61 Anaerobic Digestion: A process of capturing methane from green waste material (biomass). This process is toxic, but well suited for distributed power generation when co-located with electrical generation equipment.

[DgurlSunshine]

@beatles61 Hemp is at least four times richer in biomass/cellulose potential than its nearest rivals: cornstalks, sugarcane, kenaf, trees, etc.

[DgurlSunshine]

@DgurlSunshine

Hemp produces the most biomass of any crop, which is why it is the natural choice for an energy crop. Hemp converts the sun's energy into cellulose faster than any other plant, through photosynthesis. Hemp can produce 10 tons of biomass per acre every four months. Enough energy could be produced on 6% of the land in the U.S. to provide enough energy for our entire country (cars, heat homes, electricity, industry) -- and we use 25% of the world's energy.

[elitebman]

I believe that the government should invest into solar panels that power alot of well populated areas like lights and street lights. Also invest into wind turbines or solar panels for home use aswell as everything that uses electricity emits carbon into the air we breathe and need as turbines and solar panels will not and also will save you money in the long run on your electric bills

[elitebman]

@elitebman another thing to brush up on every single country is majorly in debt we are talking billions and trillions of dollars planting trees can be a benefit as trees can be very scenic and takes a large roll in this world as they provide the oxygen we breathe the more trees we plant the more habitats animals can live in and better breathing for whatever your roll you have taken in this world if its being a hunter to living on the streets also scenery would bring tourists which bring money

[d3r2000]

Or if we can effectively store the co2 in the atmosphere and bring it into storage tanks and slowly use it on plants. Maybe by pumping it from the atmosphere into containment tanks. Or when they are burnt instead of releasing it everywhere from factories they are stored and released at effective rates into environment via calculated intake per cubic meter of rainforest so forth.

[d3r2000]

we know fish split h2o using gill to hydrogen and take oxygen in there are some filters to split it. If we can split co2. Plants split co2 if we can genetically modify the process of which plants do or isolate it to speed it up.

[d3r2000]

Extracting the co2 and methane would mean we fly a medium around such as an aeroplane or jetcraft on a very high altitude and dispense some form a chemical or gas to neutralise the carbon or extract it. Otherwise we apply more oxygen or poison it more or break the co2 in carbon and oxygen taking the carbon down or letting it rain down. Otherwise we need monitor the levels first carefully using maybe satelittes discover the levels we need perhaps use a rocket to that altitude to extract the co2

[crazybones2009]

Sir your a such an inspiration for budding entrepreneurs and you are a great human being as well in all your humanitarian work....keep up the goodwork..

from australia

[Blahblahbox1]

I love this guy

[wetyewruyrtsutrdhjfg]

I think Virgin is a pretty cool guy. eh sells CDs and doesn't afraid of anything.

[zugarpies]

When Alexander Graham Bell set up his first telephone, he had three missed calls from Richard Branson.

[russiangirl1996]

I LOVE YOU RICHARD!! I HOPE I CAN MEET YOU SOMEDAY!

[ThinkStage]

Very motivating

[EatIt84123]

Richard Branson is the REAL LIFE Tony Stark. He also pisses rainbows and shits diamond encrusted gummy bears. Richard Branson is a total badass!

[Vrism1337]

Richard is a badass

[BlueFrog83]

So lets get this right. He is an economic retard that dosent know how to keep profit and he also thinks their exist "clean fuil" and he is one of the richest men on earth....something is wrong here.

[22j77]

I wouldn't call Dyslexia a learning disability but rather the ability to have ideas and visions! In our society everybody "qualifies" for a disorder!

Other than that, there IS NO clean fuel, Mr. Branson. Not if you have take away food from the poor in the world to "produce" fuel.

[TheMastaLu]

Sir Richard is a great visionary who uses current technologies to compete at being the best then use those profits to develop research for future projects.

[koliber231]

i want to kill him so badly

[GBRmond]

@koliber231 why?

[Destro7000]

I'm sad we lost Virgin Megastore! :(

[boseffis]

i like richard branson, but he is truly misinformed on the global warming thing...

[meotaku2]

I know, I know. Plants lots of trees and that will take carbon out of the atmosphere. Also, stop recycling paper and bury it in landfill instead. $25 million please.

[Savior250psi]

Sir Branson is a great inspiration for all entrepreneurs. Big or small

[PeterDewMedia]

I think the project to fly into outer space is good, they advertised in mail online recently, I phoned them up pissed off. Normally, all my calls to this company have been really civil and friendly, overall they've been ok, I wish they would not advertise with mail online.

[bigkula1]

Like everyone he is partly good and bad. Let's face it, the dude talks alot of bullshit. But I like his attitude for making a difference, and his charitable attitude has to be commended......

[PolisCorporation]

Financial Polis

[makfeo]

I assume that all people here commenting here on global warming are true scuentists (I don't mean computer science or social sciences). Or, at least they took and got top grades in science courses in school and college. Otherwise they are just full of crap.

[winterstellar]

Well, the man-made global warming will be the biggest problem civilization has ever faced. So it is pretty important to inform the uninformed or scientifically illiterate about..:)

[lkokoki]

@winterstellar "To inform the uninformed" shut up you smug piece of shit, pretending that you share some extremely valuable and unknown information, making it out as if you're educating people. You're the one that is uninformed, "man-made global warming", the world average temperature has increased by no more than half a degree in the last 100 years. Also after WW2 when most production occured with highest Co2 emissions the temperature was decreasing. Nice good job, fuckwit.

[winterstellar]

@lkokoki Yes, the uninformed. The tards who listen to paid-off lobbyists instead of virtually all of science:)

[lkokoki]

@winterstellar You're a prophet arent you, here to make everyone aware of the damage we are causing to the planet. We're just blind sheep and you'e our shepherd. Fuck off cunt you're not a scientist just some idiot with a strong opinion who thinks his opinion is right. Go suck Al Gore's dick you green environmentalist faggot.

[winterstellar]

@lkokoki Yes, you are if you listen to lobbyists and so-called "scientists" with no relevant peer-reviewed work at all instead of all of the world's climate scientists. Go to your Tea Party meeting now, Billy Bob: )

[asmartbajan]

@lkokoki Is it really necessary to resort to such language? If you disagree with someone, then by all means, use all the passion you can garner and let that disagreement be known in no uncertain terms. But do so without labeling the other party as something other than what they are: A human being with opinions like you and me.

I myself have much doubt about this whole global warming stuff but still found the Branson interview to be most enlightening.

[partyhouse88]

this guy is a crook always spewing his global warming alarmist garbage

[imran1985iqbal]

Top man,,,,,,,lol gross and net

[murk4heart]

Global warning is a sham that is being used to impose a carbon tax for the bankers to make more money

[bpwong85]

@murk4heart

The Global warming sham is a sham that is being used to prevent the imposition of a carbon tax for the carbon emitting companies to make more money at the expense of environment and the world. Carbon tax is a solution from Economics to discourage even more carbon emission than there would be if there is no tax. This is being covered in Economics as a solution, not as what conspiracy theorists assumed.

[Bolgi]

Great man! I think he is really inspiring.

[justaukman]

i personally hate the prick

[Random0rants0eco0yay]

hes so cooolll!

and he cares about the earth

BONUS!

[houseofashion]

RICHARD BRANSON this guy is fearless, he is a leader, he always put his money where his mouth is. Admired the guy

[thegreatgarry]

I find a new inspiration and he is Sir Richard Branson

[omegapoint444]

There's alot of guys don't seem to like him - you guys would like The Silent Stones, by Diana cooper world angel teacher

[MarViktor]

Biography of Branson helps me to learn English!

[hsnse]

He is cool!!! A great guy!

[SurfGoggles]

Way cool Dude! No Fried Eyes Richard.

[hashpuppy101]

its amazing how humble a man like sir.Branson is.Makes you think so little of the the neo riches that walk around like bitches on heat.

[AdlerChalk]

@hashpuppy101 It is a good image.

[8tripsaweek]

actually a really commendable bloke. i like him

[Jackdave72]

I urge all billionaires to help kids in Africa, India and other world nations. They are our future generations.

[vokterhund]

@Jackdave72 Our future generations are everywhere in every country on every corner.

[1Grosvenor3]

@Jackdave72 There wont be future generations if they don't tackle global warming.

[K9costars]

Such a great guy & very sucsessful, so many entrepreneurs seem to have Dyslexia? I to have struggled with accountants & book keepers meetings, felt so good to here he has been there too! Thank for posting.

[IngloriusBastard11]

The other part of the reality is that people have forgotten that with wealth comes responsibility. Andrew Carnegie practically gave away his entire estate toward the end of his life including building over 70 libraries in New York City alone including the Carnegie Institutes to help make peoples lives become better through education. Wealth in the right hands can do wonders.

[IngloriusBastard11]

I have read his books and the guy is right on with the practical side of business. He walks the walk, and talks the talk. We have modeled our company on his business philosophy and it works. Take care of your people, strategic partners, clients and associates and they will take care of you. Most corporate executives in America just don't get it because of their greed and self centeredness.

[padatron3000]

Read his book it's great. "losing my virginity"

[quqianyu]

he is sooo cool

[gespilk]

So fake.

Oh, I am dyslectic, and do not know what Net and Gross is.

How then you are so rich? through acting skills? I guess so.

[kensingtonrock]

Intersin' video. Good advice.

[HardeyLeone]

does he not know it is a hoax?

[pierredupreez1]

Sir Richard is not only successful, but an inspiration to those of us who aim to be different in life.

[dranwang]

He'll be remembered in a big way once he's dead.

That I'm sure.

[jetsetpeasant]

If all company's followed Virgin's lead by giving back and looking at the big picture, we would live in a very different world.

[ajduke26]

What a great character! Clearly a geniune person!

[NauticaCR]

Interesting fellow. Hope someone claims that $25 million prize.

[duhfe]

dark and devious wants to pray .. fuck me

[darkanddevious]

i work for my county council grounds maintenence/environment division

[cterpack]

Nice...what do you do for them?

[darkanddevious]

cut grass & collect litter, not very exiting, ive considered joining the army loads of times

[cterpack]

You should look into it, maybe take a test!

[darkanddevious]

a lot of people dissapprove of the military, what do you think?

[cterpack]

I think that if you believe in our Heavenly Father anything is possible through him. That includes but is not ltd to going into the military. I would have to say that I would recommend that you get down on your knees put your hands together and pray to God my Brother..... Do you know how to pray?

[darkanddevious]

im not sure

[darkanddevious]

is there a correct way to pray?

[FATALMAMUKA]

we dont need the military. so many people carry guns these days. we could take the money that is being fed to the military and create free health care. Yeaahiii!

[ihatewhereilive]

government health care would never be efficient.

[madzangels]

God he's got a jagged flow to his talk, stuttering like that really annoys ya lol

[Bangsta89]

hes dyslexic

[madzangels]

that's completely irrelevant....lol

[businesslaunchdates]

You're just JEALOUS you measly little shit face clit features. That's all you are :- JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS

[darkanddevious]

actually i came to terms a long time ago that i wouldnt be rich or very wealthy, so i take joy and comfort in other aspects of life, money doesnt affect those who can live without it, its one of those great joys that people have over those whose whole world is surrounded and overlooked by money and material possesions, so try that one again, you special faced window licking faggot!

[cterpack]

I feel sorry for u...u should never ever give up!!!

[darkanddevious]

you dont need to feel sorry for me, im confident enough that i can remain satisfied even if its without wealth

[cterpack]

Wealth=Freedom

Freedom to do what you want!!

Once you get to the point of being able to go places most people only dream of...then maybe u could have some kind of understanding. And guess what?!? You CAN make it happen...good luck!

[darkanddevious]

some people make it some dont, a lot of it comes down to circumstance, its not all about how hard you work and you can disagree with me but its easy to say that from a silver perch!

[cterpack]

As a child I would walk to the store with "food stamps" to buy milk and bread. So do not give me that crap about a silver perch. It's not how bad you want it, its how much you live it!!

[darkanddevious]

look instead of giving me lip why dont you give me some advice

[cterpack]

Ask yourself...."What drives me?" That is where it starts. Look at Martin L King.

[darkanddevious]

could you explain a little bit more, thanks

[cterpack]

What are you mostly interested in? Music? Cars? Woman?

[darkanddevious]

well i love music, most kinds, cars arent really my thing but women, yes always interested me!

[cterpack]

What do u do for work now?

[darkanddevious]

its getting late here, i would love to talk with you some more, are you going to be around over the weekend?

[cterpack]

Sure....hit me up!

[regvarney]

Everyone in the UK knows Branson is a tosser.The man goes out of his way to avoid paying tax and publishing accounts.

[MrFuckyoucunt]

Not many people know he's an Alien.

[Kmartin777]

Yes.. agree with ur point. Good observation.

[asmarinoshkor]

what make u think that? dont know much about him

[mrmaciejm]

He is a great guy and businessman. This man is starting new industry... how good businessman he has become.

[liljonbon]

richard is a super business man. a big inspiration. cool!!!!

[joanignasice]

@liljonbon Sir Repty Branson, a typical illuminati pirate predator. It has no merit. This remote control from the Death Star by Sauron. He has given his power. 

[gavinOATH]

I think that the fact he is a little slow helps him because it lets him sit back and take things easier.... let your employees take care of all the hard work and let the boss focus on the big picture.

[Jayenwoods]

I know what you mean, but i wouldn't use the word slow, lots of people use that word to say stupid and Dyslexics are not necessarily stupid, they just have problems in taking in information in certain ways, that doesn't mean they can't make intelligent decisions.

It really doesn't help dyslexic people from a coincidence point of view in life when they are referred to as slow/stupid ete.

I'm a dyslexic and have had to deal with this all through schooling and in my day to day life now.

Jayen

[Termonuclear111]

slow? you mean that dilexia thing conequences.

dude, the way he talks makes him look wery calm and sure about what he says. Jus look up best spokesperson (not showmen like presidents, but who talk about something esential). thay all speak liek this.

err.. examples - Ross Perpot, Bruce Lee etc :)

[sdog07]

he could be better if he had a formal education. He's really good now... but he's not sharp enough to be great...

[Fish65]

You don't think a guy who is a multi billionaire and had archived so much in his life can considered great? You must have impossibly high standards.

[Maxim77us]

Not great..? Dude, what the hell are you..? He was poorer than you and is much richer than your Trumph friend...who inherited all his wealth from daddy.... This guy is innovative, he creates businesses and different goals...Formal education..? Jaja..damn, some of the best people or performers dont have "formal" education, the're not cookie cutter, they think outside the box, approach things differently. Dont be so jealous amigo

[vegasguy21]

I'll bet more 'formally educated' college graduates are now enjoying employment at Burger King than you're aware of. I don't care what degree you have, it means nothing in business. Luck, the right backing and good timing will make you a success. If you don't have any of those going for you, 'formal education' alone certainly isn't going to help you.

[93gtir]

The definition of education is: Knowledge acquired by learning and instruction. I can safely say that when it comes to education, Sir Richard Branson is well Educated whether it be formal or not. His knowledge and education is based on what he needs to know. Education is nothing if it isn't backed by action. And he has evidently backed his education with action which caused him to be one of the most greatest and successful men of our time!

[KARStarla]

Is this the same Richard Branson the "Virgin whistle blower" is talking about in his video?

They appear to be suppressing evidence on something, anyone see the video? Some poor guy is a victim of this company or something

[crsnena]

He is brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[enzo2602]

he definitely is the man

[shivmurugan]

He is the Man !!
