Sales Genius Built His Business With a Broken Spine | Dave Morris

This episode with Dave Morris is nothing short of extraordinary. He shares his journey from being in a high positioned sales role to starting his own company. Might we add he started this company literally flat on his back in a bed for six months after a trampoline accident broke his back. They not only discuss the lessons Dave learnt along the way, but they also dive into very important social issues like parenting, the masculinity crisis and why Britain needs a transformation before it's too late.Throughout this episode Dave shares how his personal faith strengthened him along every step of his journey including through his diagnosis of cancer 5 years ago. He went through treatment in the middle of COVID, spent weeks in hospital without his family, and had a choice between giving up or fighting like never before.We think it's safe to say nothing was going to hold him back!With Dave's unexplained optimism, this episode will change how you see success, suffering, and what actually matters._______________________________________________________________________Follow David Morris:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/dave-morris-70624412/Follow Dylan Russell:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-russell-b33512163/ Instagram - @_dylan_russell_______________________________________________________________________Timestamps:00:00:00 - Episode Trailer00:02:05 - Introduction00:02:55 - Early Career: Electronics Apprenticeship00:03:35 - Meeting Wife & Marriage00:05:00 - First Sales Job at Marconi00:06:48 - Sales Skills: Learning vs. Natural Talent00:09:00 - Corporate Challenges & Letting People Go00:11:33 - Decision to Leave Corporate & Start Own Company00:19:21 - The Trampoline Accident Story (Detailed)00:21:00 - Six Months Recovery & Building Business from Floor00:25:26 - House Burglary & Finding the Backup Disc00:29:42 - First Orders & Early Business Success00:35:00 - Measuring Success in Business00:39:13 - Starting Multiple Companies00:41:00 - Advice for Young Entrepreneurs00:42:33 - The Scaling vs. Starting Dilemma00:49:28 - Becoming a Christian at 2900:53:42 - Tough Childhood & Father Relationship00:58:20 - What Makes a Man: Modern Masculinity Crisis01:06:40 - Marriage & Family Values01:13:52 - Parenting Advice01:21:00 - Britain's Current State & Political Challenges01:28:20 - Loss of Freedom of Speech01:36:16 - Faith's Role in Business01:40:00 - If You Were Prime Minister: Solving Britain's Problems01:32:00 - Money Doesn't Equal Happiness01:36:40 - Greatest Fears as a Business Owner01:40:02 - Cancer Diagnosis & Battle01:44:00 - Message to Someone Facing Death_______________________________________________________________________See you next week,DylanDisclaimer: This podcast provides general educational information only, not professional advice.
