My mother always told me that if you're thinking, you may as well be thinking big. It is one of the few things that are free." He credits this to much of his success in his career.

Morris has had a remarkable journey building businesses, including a billion-dollar publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, that has earned him recognition as the first Kentuckian on Fortune Magazine's 40 Under 40 list. He also became the youngest inductee ever into the Kentucky Entrepreneur Hall of Fame.
