This TED Talk is from last March but it's a great insight into Branson the man and entrepreneur.
When Richard Branson was at school, his headmaster predicted he would wind up either a millionaire or in jail. Since then, he's done both. He talks to TED's Chris Anderson about the ups and the downs of his career, from his multibillionaire success to his multiple near-death experiences, from Virgin's line of spacecraft to the failure of the Virgin condom. He also reveals some of his (very surprising) motivations. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, California. Duration: 30:44.)

Great site
Thanks Richard - have never heard of TED talks before, what a great site, there's loads of fascinating talks on there, even the really nerdy science ones that look like they're going to go over my head are brilliant. Thanks again for a really useful post.
