Making it happen: Beer With Branson

The new year is a time for dreaming big, making resolutions, and then diving in headfirst. Or at least it is if you are Justin “Bugsy” Sailor.

Bugsy kicked off 2010 with an ambitious goal: to have a beer with Richard Branson by the end of the year. But if you know Bugsy (and if you don’t, you should), then you know that it’s not just talk. He is a guy of action, and to prove it, he launched the Beer With Branson website on January 1.

The site, illustrated by the talented Angela Duncan, encourages supporters to submit questions Bugsy should ask Branson when they meet, give suggestions of where the duo should share their beer, and vote on what kind of beer they should drink.

Cool, right? But that’s not all. Bugsy also turned to Twitter, Facebook, and fellow bloggers to spread the word. The social media push has already proven powerful — it took only five hours for him to connect with a Virgin employee in London.

Inspired? Check. Hooked? Check. Lend a hand at beerwithbranson.com and help Bugsy make it happen, one connection at a time.
