"There are three key things that a person needs to be successful; be curious and adaptable, read a lot, and apply yourself" - Jim Mellon
Robert Emery talks to Jim Mellon, a billionaire entrepreneur-investor-philanthropist. Often in the top 10% of the Sunday Times Rich List, Jim is a visionary entrepreneur with a flair for identifying emerging global trends.
Jim talks about his route to becoming one of the world's wealthiest individuals, why he believes he will live to over 100, and how humanity will shortly be feeding itself from lab-grown meat. He of course also answers a quick-fire round of questions culminating in the big question; "what is the most outrageous thing you've ever purchased?"
Jim has done that rare feat of being wealthy enough to buy anything he wants in the world, but also seems like he'd be happy to have a pint with you in the local pub. He is a totally fascinating character and one we could all learn something from. With quotes like:
"my talent is competent plagiarism and reducing things to simple propositions"
"the people that are going to live to 110 or 120 are here - they're already alive"
