Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Danny Morrison. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Danny, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
God, my mother and my childhood neighborhood. God has brought me through some of the toughest times in my life and without him… NOTHING IS POSSIBLE. My Mom, a single parent, raised me to believe that I could accomplish anything no matter the circumstances. And my childhood neighborhood instilled a fire in my belly by showing me the perils of an impoverished neighborhood and inspired me to become an adult and work for CHANGE.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
My name is Danny Morrison. Owner & Founder of Danny Morrison Media.
“A Black-owned and Operated Marketing Agency committed to amplifying the voices of Black Americans.. Its customized content specializes in “bolstering” Black-owned Businesses and Nonprofits in a continual effort to “Bolster Black LA.”
We launched in 2023 and we are so excited to achieve all that we have in our first year. Our partnerships, collaborations and our content have laid the foundation to do tremendous things moving forward.
If you’re a business of any sort in the Greater Los Angeles Area, feel free to contact me and I believe we can help in getting the word out about what you do and how you do it. It’s Priority #1 for my team and me.
And if all goes well, we are primed to take another tremendous step by year’s end. We are excited!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
I started my media journey in the radio business. Radio is (and always will be) my first love. God Willing, I plan to return to the radio mic in some capacity very soon.
But I knew that the reach of radio was slowly dwindling 15 years back. I saw the imminent rise of social media and podcasting and I knew that I had to diversify my media portfolio to remain relevant in a fast-changing media landscape. Studies show that 60 percent of people plug in their phones once they get into their cars. Meaning… I had to ensure that my brand was not just on radio, but everywhere. Thank God I was ahead of the curve.
So my advice to anyone reading this is to implore you to never place all your eggs in one basket. Branch out into industries and genres outside of your primary livelihood. Learn things you didn’t plan on learning. Surround yourself with people who think differently than you. And you’ll move at a faster pace.
Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?
Find a hobby. Something outside the home. Mine is hiking and physical fitness. You have to have a place where you can detach yourself from the stresses of life. Somewhere to unplug. Somewhere with peace. Mine is always on a mountain or a beach somewhere. I love the outdoors. There, I can talk to God, pray, meditate and BREATHE. And the gym keeps my body tight and allows me to relieve stress at the same time. Those are my secrets.
