The adventurer's guide to building a brand by saying yes.
1 founder on the eChai network recommends Losing My Virginity by Richard Branson.
Richard Branson's autobiography traces his path from a dyslexic teenager launching Student magazine to building the sprawling Virgin empire. He recounts the high-stakes gambles behind Virgin Records, Virgin Atlantic, and his record-breaking balloon expeditions. The book is candid about near-bankruptcies, brutal competition, and the personal cost of constant risk.
Founders see how an outsider built durable businesses on instinct, fun, and bold bets rather than spreadsheets and pedigree. It is a masterclass in protecting cash flow, picking fights with incumbents, and using a brand to enter wildly different industries.
