      I'd dine with Tim Brown, founder of All Birds (sneakers made from New Zealand merino wool and eucalyptus fibers), Anne Patchett (award-winning author and owner of indpendent bookstore Parnassus Books in Tennessee, USA) and marketing guru and entrepreneur Seth Godin. Imagine the conversation flowing between a Kiwi who creates high-quality shoes made from sustainable materials, a writer determined to thrive as a businessperson in a particularly challenging industry (books!) and an internationally recognized digital-marketing expert. Each one is creative, nimble and incredibly dedicated -- and each seems to have a good sense of humor, too. Could be a fascinating evening. I love to hear who's on *your* invite list!

        Wow, great post, @ShanaNiederman - A challenging one too, there are so many people I would love to have dinner with.

         

        The first business owner I would like to have dinner with is Richard Branson - He is the founder of the Virgin Group, which controls more than 400 companies!!! Richard Branson has inspired me from a young age to pursue my dreams and to never give up.  Kevin Systrom - American entrepreneur and programmer, best known as the co‑founder of Instagram. I built my business on Instagram and it's my favourite social platform, I would love to chat with him about business and his approach to social media. I would also love to meet the sadly missed Kate Spade, I adore her products. Ahh, the list is so so long!

         

        @EmilyMockett if you could sit down to dinner with 3 other business owners... Anyone living today (or not!), who would you choose and why? Would they be people who are in the same sector as your business? - I would love to know your answer to this. This is a very cool question @ShanaNiederman!

          Hey, @Karsty!

           

          I thought this would be an interesting post for you to think about. I would love to know who you would like to sit down with for dinner. Would you choose other gardeners? Or perhaps people in a creative field of work that could inspire your gardening? Smiley Happy
