Make sure you have a tasty beverage nearby as this might take a while.
The AoSHQ had this first video posted up this week showing Michael O’Leary, CEO of RyanAir, at an European Union “Innovation Convention” and doing the “Speaking Truth to Power” thing.
It is very well worth your 18 minutes
But I kept on clicking videos. These other two are very much worth watching. Perhaps even more so. Please WTWT.
This first vid has a young woman pitching her excellent idea at the convention. After her presentation, at around the six minute mark, Mr. O’Leary asks her a few questions. You’ll enjoy the ensuing conversation.
The last video is almost 30 minutes long, but so worth it. It is the Q&A session after the presentations.
Good stuff! Europe is not devoid of entrepreneurial spirit.
O’Leary has talked to the employees at the Boeing 737 factory in Renton Washington a couple times. The man appears to have *no* fear of speaking his mind. Hates Airbus and loves Boeing — hard not to like the man.
He had me until he said structure taxes to insure creators stay with their businesses.
