Book Review - Business Stripped Bare by Richard Branson
I was recently offered the opportunity to review Richard Branson’s new book, Business Stripped Bare, and as a fan of Branson’s, I jumped at the chance.

(Incidentally, after writing about Business Stripped Bare, here, a nice young lady named Natalie emailed me to say that there’s a widget to display the first 43 pages of the book, which you can see here. Meanwhile, my thoughts on Tribes and how to get it
Pickle Man to keynote SolidWorks World
News just out (literally, via twitter) that Sir Richard Branson, a guy that needs very little introduction to anyone in the western world, is going to be the keynote speaker at SolidWorks World, held at the Swan & Dolphin in Orlando, February 8 - 11 next year.
