well welcome back to our media Firestorm case study series my name’s Angel Tessy and I am the host and super excited to share another fantastic story for and introduce you to Stu Morris who is an incredible media Firestorm client Stu how are you doing today oh I’m really I’m really good angel thank you very much for asking pleasure to be with you I’m so excited I’m so excited you have been just sharing your journey with our media Firestorm other students and I thought it was just High time for us to get that story out to the public a little bit but before we get into that just give us a little background your name where you’re coming from and tell us a little about your business uh thank you um so I’m Stu Morris um I’m an author and a keynote speaker and a neuroplasticity educator so a good example of kind of how I introduce myself I asked the question have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you came in all the time I specialize in teaching neuroplasticity strategies that that help strengthen cognitive function um enhance memory and boost uh cognitive Health span so you know minor memory lapses are are natural and they accumulate over time but by harnessing neuroplasticity which is the neuroscientifically proven ability of your brain to adapt and rewire itself these Solutions actually they prevent repair slow and can actually stop cognitive decline really really important stuff right really important for you to get your message out St before media Firestorm what were some things that you were doing to Market your business or how were you attracting clients before before media Firestorm well you know um the difference between you and me angel is you have 15 best Sellers and I’ve written 12 books so I’ve done a lot of research and I’ve done a lot of writing but I I couldn’t sell a book I mean Julie brought my books because she loves me and we live under the same roof kind of a thing right so 30 years she buys my books but yeah I just I wasn’t making it I I thought if you wrote a book you know someone would read it but nope they don’t you need to Market that so um that’s I came across media Firestorm on Facebook which is kind of amazing because I wasn’t in uh Facebook very often um but because of media fire storming I have a whole Facebook presence now um also it’s really narrowed down my focus like what’ you do well I wrote on dementia and I wrote on you know cognitive decline and I wrote on neuroplasticity but I didn’t have a real Focus which is something that that media Firestorm has been able to really narrow down what I do and how I can impact the world more efficiently more effectively and and for the long term leave a legacy of doing it and um it’s been life-changing media Firestorm has I I look you it has been lifechanger for me all right so so steu I mean that I mean I love hearing that obviously right um but if we’re how can we break that down like what about it has been lifechanging what um are there strategies are there systems like what about it do you think has made the biggest impact for you well there are a number of things um that made a very big impact but I I’d say I think you believed in me more than I believed in me when when I got started um you you broke down the process I mean here’s your first five emails right um this is how you write an outgoing offer um you you I mean you have sent me videos walking me through step by step that were tailored to me hey Stu this is for you this is a video on on how you do this better and you’ve really you you’ve made something that it wasn’t that it was complex it was complex but it was also I was ignorant to the fact of of the complexity of it or what to do next and you guys simplified the process you made it easy to get real Clarity on the purpose behind it um and then you were super supportive I I don’t know what other people’s lives are like I I you know I’m a small farm kid I live on the coast of California it’s just uh you know we’re just just stew St from Mel Granada right um but now I you know I’ve authored a lot of books but now I feel like an author I act like an author I I I have a lot of expertise 22 years in the emergency department I’ve worked with you know people under huge amounts of stress and I have a lot of expertise in it but now I feel like an expert because you’ve you’ve given me those self epiphanies if you will it’s uh it’s been a great ride it’s been so fun and the community is like not competitive they everyone you know kind of friendly competition but it’s um very encouraging and helpful and interactive and and you know you know what you’re doing right and what you’re doing wrong and they give great advice and just a a a a handpicked group of folks the the media Firestorm Community is it’s one in a million I don’t know I don’t know a million I don’t know a million communities but it’s a great one for sure I love it I love it well I I always tell people we only attract the very best people like they’re all just incredible and there’s just something really beautiful and you’re right the community is incredibly supportive there’s a little competitive push right just to just to encourage each other Stu what do you think now that you’ve been through and now you’ve you kind of in this space what what opportunities or what do you think you can do now or what is it changing for you now that maybe you weren’t able to do before well that’s a really good question what’s it changing for me that I can do now that I couldn’t do before well or I was gonna say or what impact you know do you think now knowing what you know or are you gonna change anything I’m Gonna Change the World we’re gonna set on fire um well it’s it’s nice to know what I don’t know and then and then you have a you know a strategy to to learn that so that’s just half the battle right so that’s been huge um also the the ability to you know get results and get uh feedback in real time almost I mean within a matter of moments or hours or at least a day or so um you know if you’re doing something right um and uh like like putting together a lead magnet for instance is this a good lead maget I don’t know seems good to me and but you can put it in front of an expert and then test it and then like wow you know like a hundred people in the day responded to this lead magnet so it’s that that’s a winner right that could be a winner um so it’s really broadened my perspective on what I could do I didn’t know I was struggling um with uh the you know like a a fraud right this what do they call that impostor syndrome maybe I’m having a neuroplasticity moment right there yep I didn’t know I was suffering from impostor syndrome I I’m not an imposter I’ve done thousands of hours probably of research but I didn’t feel like uh I could deliver it very well or it just was you know it’s just new and foreign to you and you just someone just kind of needs to smack you in the back of the head sometimes and say dude you got this go you run run you know and that’s that’s that’s uh you said that on um on the exclusive monthly interview that you did um just last week or so um you said oh do it now don’t wait till you’ve built it don’t wa you’ll you’ll get it you’ll you’ll Build It Go go but do now and I man I just I just embraced that and and you know doing something it makes you so much better at it then you can you can think about something you can study it you can ruminate on it you can write it down but when you do you get better and that’s been a game changer for me steu why do you think now it’s working for you right I mean you’ve got all these years of experience you are incredibly talented and and educated and wise why do you think now it’s finally clicked for you is that it there’s there’s no more things you want to add to that thank you for that um um I think now I don’t know you know I started school when I was 18 I finished when I was 32 so when you’re in school you’re thinking about school and you’re really in the middle of all that and then I had four kids and I didn’t want to go to work and then come home and you know give my kids kind of like the second best so I took them to school every morning you know your kids they’re like uh how was school today oh fine but you get them in the car and they won’t shut up and it’s the best way would sing songs and stuff I mean that time with my kids I never get back and and at the same time I worked in the emergency medicine I also built um you know memory care and dementia facilities and that kind of came from my grandma who had my nana had dementia and and just dismantled her and I was a little kid and it just it stuck with me I wanted to fix that in people and I was busy I was busy doing that and so now the kids are you know the kids got older I didn’t but the kids the kids moved out of the house and went to school got married right they’ve grown up but I haven’t aged today I’ve been called Peter Pan a lot in my life and I’m okay with that by the way um but you know I just I had time to kind of focus on something else and I loved to write that was my first kind of passion in school for sure and so I my Nana said I was probably five six years old my D said you should write a book and I so you know I did cray my first book was in cran but but I you know I wrote a few books and and nobody really read them and I thought that’s okay you I’ve got all this work to do and and stuff and so it was n um it was a new chapter in my life and it was just a way to kind of do something new and focus on something new and that was kind of the the Genesis of it um but then when I started it I was excited about it and I was lost in doing it so it was me a firestorm that really kind of honed that skill set um and helped me you know with marketing and things like that you write the best book in the world but if nobody knows about it no one’s going to read it and there’s no not GNA be any impact so things like that that I didn’t that I didn’t know right and you guys have just taken me by the hand and walked me through that media Firestorm has been instrumental in that as far as if there’s any success I have it’s largely due to Media Firestorm for sure oh my gosh thank you stu um is there anything else any story any strategy or anything else you want to make sure that we cover and share during this time together oh gosh you you asked me that question and I you know I want to go through neuroplasticity solutions to boost cognitive Health span so do I have something to say go ahead and sit [Laughter] down um but specifically you know what media Firestorm has done for me and my business is it’s really made it a business it’s made something that I had a passion for and I was like you know like you say I was well versed in um and it’s made it something that uh is I you know I’m I’m look I’m looking I’m I’m looking for a very special buyer to purchase my Care Homes because I don’t want anyone running them because I I mean I know those folks I know their birthdays I know when they were in the service I mean I know what they like for breakfast so I don’t want anyone buying in my care home but I’m ready to transition out of that and that’s been you know a profitable Business Center for us and and it’s a it’s time for a new chapter I’ve been doing that for 25 years been helping people with dementia and Memory Care um issues and their families so it’s um it’s exciting for me it’s exciting to be able to move on for that and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you because there’s there’s nobody that seems to me that takes the time to kind of train you on these things that you need to know in order to run your business I mean I know I know how to run a care home but I don’t know how to run a media kind of a thing or or build a community which is that’s that’s like foremost on my list I’m so excited about having a community of people that are are are becoming stronger cognitively oh and we’re excited to help you pull that together there Stu all right so talk about you and your program your call to action how do people connect with you where do where where
