Entrepreneur Richard Farleigh was visiting Clydebank College on Wednesday night.
Richard, famous for his role in the popular TV Series Dragons Den was talking about his life. From being fostered at an early age as one of twelve children living in the Australian outback, he told us about his meteoric rise to wealth and early retirement in Monte Carlo at the age of 34.
Being easily bored, this was not for him and he embarked on a life of venture capitalism which lead directly to him being auditioned for Dragons Den.
He has a very down to earth way of explaining his success and seemed quite modest at seeing a huge image of himself projected onto the screen behind him.
His comments on fellow Dragon and "Bankie" (One who grew up in Clydebank) Duncan Bannatyne were very funny. "I couldn't understand a word he said".
He was a typical Aussie, no airs and graces whatsoever.
