In this episode of Latika Takes: The Podcast, Latika dropped by a Superhumans pop-up in New York City’s Ukrainian quarter to interview Virgin co-founder Richard Branson.

Superhumans is an NGO that specialises in prosthetics and rehabilitation for veterans and wounded civilians, to interview Virgin co-founder Richard Branson.

The pop-up had a video booth, in which participants were invited to imagine they had stepped on a landmine and had three seconds left of their life. The idea of the three seconds is that that’s about our attention span these days, given social media.

What would your last words be in this instance? Richard asked me to record mine, and if you are interested, this is what immediately came to my mind.

I left this interview feeling that Mr Branson was more informed on Ukraine than most politicians I speak to about the war. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
