Are you a budding entrepreneur or someone who has already started your own business?

Martin and Tumi had the opportunity to catch up with entrepreneurial tycoon Sir Richard Branson. 

Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson is an English business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. He founded the Virgin Group, which controls more than 400 companies. 

Branson expressed his desire to become an entrepreneur at a young age. He was just 14 when he started a student magazine and pitted two of the world's biggest business rivals against each other — Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
