Morry Morgan is the founder of the Melbourne, Australian comedy school, School of Hard Knock Knocks. His journey in to the world of comedy was realized when he was about to give a presentation to a room full of business men and women and the projector he was using failed and he was asked by the technician to "stall". Using his sharp wits and sense of humor, Morry was able to entertain his audience with a few jokes. Deciding that he may need these skills again at some point he saw the need for a comedy school, and the School of Hard Knock Knocks was born. A comedy school "for keynote speakers, bucket list tickers, and comedians of the future!" One of the overarching principles that Morry strives to achieve is that of giving back. Throughout our conversation, Morry circles back to how each and every aspect of SOHKK is to contribute to the world of comedy, to add to it, and to help present/create opportunity for young comedians. Now in its fourth year, School of Hard Knock Knocks is available to students in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.

Limitless is all about giving you the opportunity to stand on the backs of giants—if you will. Hearing from those who have been there and done that has always been one of my favorite parts of interviewing successful entrepreneurs. After all, wise people learn to not reinvent the wheel if they don’t need to. Well, if you’ve been following his mini-series, it’s clear that Morry Morgan is one of the China entrepreneur giants. He has started and lost a business (rather painfully I might add), started and grew a business and just now has started a social enterprise to give back. Along the way he has picked up and lived by a couple of fantastically simple, yet mind expanding lessons—those that teach us to see and dream possibilities for the future. Tune in to hear Morry share those lessons that form the limitless mindset that every entrepreneur needs to master.
