Started his first business venture, a magazine called 'Student'

In 1968, at the age of 17, Richard Branson launched his first business venture, a magazine called Student. This was shortly after he had dropped out of Stowe School. The magazine was aimed at giving young people a voice on various social issues, such as the Vietnam War and student rights, topics that were highly relevant in the 1960s. Student magazine also featured interviews with notable figures, including Mick Jagger and Jean-Paul Sartre, which helped it gain attention. Though the magazine was not a financial success, it marked the beginning of Branson’s entrepreneurial career. It showcased his ability to connect with a youthful audience and laid the groundwork for the launch of Virgin Records in 1972, which would eventually grow into the Virgin Group—a global conglomerate spanning multiple industries. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #RichardBranson #StudentMagazine #Entrepreneurship #VirginGroup #1968
