"Do what you know" is common career advice, but not everyone agrees it's wise. Virgin Group co-founder and billionaire Richard Branson says it's the worst career advice he's ever received. In fact, Branson broke through by doing the opposite, he discussed on a recent episode of the Work Life with Adam Grant podcast. Branson — who has a $2.6 billion net worth, according to Forbes — built his career and fortune from the Virgin Group, a venture capital and holding company. While Branson sold the music label for nearly $1 billion in 1992, the Virgin Group now owns companies in sectors ranging from airlines and hotels to media and spaceflight.

☆ Virgin Orbit's would-be white knight and a $200 million rescue that fell flat
  + stars: | 2023-04-08 | by ( Joey Roulette Kevin Krolicki | Joey Roulette | Kevin Krolicki | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +8 min
REUTERS/Henry NichollsApril 8 (Reuters) - As the fortunes of Richard Branson's Virgin Orbit were crashing to Earth last month, a little-known investor called Matthew Brown appeared offering a $200 million rescue. Virgin Group, which owns 75% of Virgin Orbit, also declined to comment for this article. The group is providing financing to Virgin Orbit as the satellite launch company seeks a buyer in bankruptcy. Asked about this, Brown told Reuters he structured deals to protect investor confidentiality with a preference for "laying low below the radar." Virgin Orbit filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday.
