EP 126: Transforming Personal Trauma into Complex and Likable Characters: Guy Morris

Guy Morris has led an extraordinary life. After escaping an abusive childhood at age 13 to become a homeless runaway, Guy worked alongside migrant workers before he earned three degrees by age 27, including acceptance to Harvard and scholarship award from University of Arizona for his innovations in building a macro-economic that out-performed the Federal Reserve. His career led him to international oil company Occidental Petroleum where he pioneered adoption  of early-stage AI systems and supported business deals worth billions. He can also speak to leadership roles at IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft, as well as start-ups he either founded or joined.A talented musician and composer, Guy has recorded multiple CDs and wrote songs published by Disney Records. His adventures led him from receiving cartel death threats in Latin America to shark diving in Moorea – from board room politics impacting early climate change studies to living on a 50-foot sailing yacht with a charter captain’s license. Every one of his stories and characters pull from a rich life of diverse experience along with deep, deep research.  Every story is based on true events, history, technologies, or personal experience. For example, both SWARM and The Last Ark feature the true story of a program that escaped NSA spy labs and confirmed by an FBI visit to his home.Guy strives to write books that thrill, educate, and inspire thoughtful dialogue on genuine issues facing humanity.
