One World in a New World with Guy Morris – Novelist, Retired Tech Executive
An Apocalyptic Chat with host, Zen Benefiel, MA, MBA, Transformational Coach (https://BeTheDream.com)
Retired from a 36-year executive career with Fortune 100 software, high-tech and global energy, Guy Morris has also been a published song writer for Disney Records, a patented inventor, a Coast Guard charter captain, an adventurer, and now, a self-published author of thrillers. Our conversation is extended due to the depth.
Not thinking about making a difference in the world, he just want to explore what was in it. Guy shares some of those exploration throughout this conversation, starting off with running away from home at age 13; life elsewhere couldn’t be any worse.
Admitting he was terrified and yet tenacious, he spent many hours working the fields with migrant workers in California as a teen. His story is fascinating in its challenges, diversity and outcome.
A few years later, his life changed dramatically after a prayerful moment and inner prompting. Guy admits he didn’t believe it at first, yet the synchronistic events around it turned him around. He says it was like closing your eyes and leaping off a cliff without splattering.
A few years later, he’d advanced from the ‘stupid kid’ he grew up being told he was to asking questions of a professor that were beyond any others in the class. His learning and project for his graduation was building a macro-economic model that got him a scholarship. It also beat the all the business school as well as the Federal Reserve.
Jobs ensued, first with IBM. Guy felt he was bereft of social and emotional stability and turned to substance abuse. His addiction caused an intense fear of being discovered, though he was good at hiding. During that period a cohort at Microsoft said to him he was one of those scary smart people, able to hide and perform.
In the transition away from the scary stuff and toward the smart stuff, Guy admits he’d completely ignored his creative, innovative and spiritual side in life. You will be intrigued by the balance of the conversation as we explore some really interesting areas you might not expect.
It was a nice set up in the first half of the conversation. The last half is a deep dive for sure and you won’t have to come up for air. Instead you’ll find some fresh air as we continue diving into the intricacies of exploring reality and prophecy.
