On Your Marks with Prof Jonathan Marks
Book Review: Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance
Show Notes

The book captures the life and achievements of South African entrepreneur and innovator, Elon Musk, the brain behind series of successful enterprises such as PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX and Solarcity. The real-life inspiration of the Iron Man Series, Musk wants to be the saviour of the planet, send people into space and set up a colony on Mars.

Bullied in school and scolded tremendously by his father, Musk was actually a brilliant student and his life story is nothing less than a drama packed film. Ashlee Vance’s brilliant description of Musk’s character, simple language and neat choice of words indeed makes this book a great read. (Source: www.bookishelf.com)

NOTE: Apologies to my loyal listeners, my travel plans last week messed with my remote publishing abilities and this meant missing one of my weekly podcasts.  I figure 1/52 is not bad - so here it is and expect a double episode soon.
