Boardroom Talk – Adrian Gore, a world class act who rises above the noisy critics

By Alec Hogg

The best part of my job is that, by definition, you get to interact with society's outliers. Often it's a fleeting moment, that fifteen minutes of fame we all enjoy at some point. But sometimes it becomes more, and that's because they are special. In this trade, repeat customers get chosen because of their value to the audience we serve.

Adrian Gore is one of my favourite repeat customers. I've gotten to know the co-founder of Discovery over the years. Having built a R100bn global business, everyone knows he's a world class entrepreneur. From what I've experienced, he's SA's Elon Musk of financial services, but a much, much nicer person.
