Hi. This is Ian Jackson. I just want to share another book with you. And Elon Musk is... It's a bit of a life story about Elon up to now, and of course, he's the guy who owns Tesla, who just this week the shares multiplied 700%, and makes Elon the richest man in the world.

(00:23):

But it's more about his journey I want to talk to you about. It's just that he's quite popular at the moment because of the share value this week, but he talks about the fight he had, and to get to where he was, and this is going back to the story I told you some time back about the man cutting down the tree in two years.

(00:43):

Elon was consistent in that he came across many challenges, so he did. He tells about in the book where one of the challenges with Tesla was getting a battery. Getting a battery that would last. And he [inaudible 00:00:58] a number of manufacturers, and he noticed this manufacturer, and he identified him as being the best one, but the guy was undercapitalized, so Elon just bought him, and now Tesla manufacturer their own batteries.

(01:12):

So, this is a really good book to get if you want to read it. It's available of course on Amazon and all the regular sources, and it's also available on Audible, which is where I listened to it.

(01:23):

So this is Ian Jackson. I'll be back again with another book very shortly.
