Andrew Morrison didn’t just build a business; he built a legacy.
In this episode, James Fleming sits down with Andrew for a real conversation about building and selling a business the right way, without losing yourself in the process.
From surviving redundancy to navigating the emotional pressure of running a company through COVID, Andrew shares what it actually takes to stay in the game long enough to exit on your terms.
