Have you ever wondered how to trust the universe?
I can't tell you how excited I am for this episode. This has been years in the making. The Original Giant; THE OG, Mr. Ryan 'The Lion' Morris.
Since he was little, Ryan had a work ethic like no other. At age 7, Ryan had his own paper route and was driven to make it succeed. By the time he was 13, he had saved $10,000 where most kids his age were playing Nintendo and playing with friends. Ryan carried this work ethic through his youth and by age 21, started a career in farm management in Vernal.
In 2002, he married his wife Amber and took his management talents to 1-800 Contacts where he spent the next four years learning the ins and outs of the corporate world. As their day time shipping manager, he and his team of 30 would ship 10,000 plus packages daily. He learned management but wanted to gain sales knowledge and see what else awaited him inside of business ownership.
Ryan started buying and selling the property he found at estate sales. He learned how to market on Amazon, KSL, Facebook, and eventually became a Power Seller on eBay. Ryan leveraged his hard work and dedication into an Auction House, where he learned the art of Auctioneering. Ryan began in a 3000 square foot building, quickly moved to a 6000 square foot building, then to 7500 square feet, and eventually landed in a 27,000 square foot facility. Ryan opened what was to become the largest consignment store and auction house in the state of Utah. During this time, Ryan would do business consulting for business owners who wanted to be involved in online selling, auctioneering, estate liquidation, and consignment. Ryan also has been an antique dealer for more than 13 years. Ryan is still selling on eBay, and when time permits continue to be an antique dealer. He figures he is quickly approaching an incredible 250,000 individual items sold!
After his business partner moved to Arkansas to help his aging parents, Ryan took the next year to close his business and sell the remaining inventory. He continued his passion for selling while working with two of the nation’s largest RV dealerships. Ryan has become a leading and respected salesperson.
