Mary C. Mazzio, galardoada realizadora de documentários e fundadora e CEO da 50 Eggs, uma produtora independente de filmes, explica-nos como na rodagem do documentário “Lemonade Stories”, sobre empreendedores extraordinários e as suas mães, se apercebeu do impacto destas na creatividade e espírito empreendedor dos seus filhos.
When Richard Branson was a young boy, he refused to talk to adults and would cling to the back of Eve’s skirt.

You will have to talk to people to find your way home,” she told him. By the time Richard arrived some 10 hours later, Eve was apoplectic.
