Thats the guy. He made secure SSL certificates at his company Thawte. Second self-funded space tourist. Set up HBD Venture Capital and the Shuttleworth Foundation. Set up Canonical which is the company behind Ubuntu Linux, the most popular distro of Linux. Mark is my role model.

I can imagine, Sir Richard must be great to hang out with. I believe he’s THE DUDE. Hey, is that Mariah Carey?

That book really is fantastic. I walked into Barnes & Noble and thought I’d read the first chapter….I read 2/3 of the book sitting right there! I couldn’t put it down. Then I just about wet myself when John Chow was giving away a signed copy…I didn’t win it though.

I would definitely have to go with Tim Ferriss. Actually I am going to try to meat up with him within a year of my getting out of the Navy. I really like his book, The 4-Hour Work Week, and I have been in touch with him a couple of time over e-mail. He is a very down to earth guy, but he does a lot of amazing things.

I think all the suggestions are great. Personally, I would choose entrepreneurs that are more realistic and within my industry of medical devices. I’m extremely fortunate to have worked for a number of successful entrepreneurs during my career. I hope that I continue to have these opportunities. One entrepreneur in my industry that I would love to spend some time with is Bill Cook. I spent the greater part of my career working for Cook, Inc.–a company founded by Mr. Cook. However, I never had an opportunity to chat with him.

Personally, I'd pick someone like john Chow or the problogger right now. That would probably be different if you asked me this time next year though.

P.Diddy, yeah def! He’s really doing big things. I’ve always been impressed with him as an entrepreneur — not so much as an rapper, though.. hehe…
