Right About Now - Legendary Business Advice
The Reality of Building Wealth in Your 20s and 30s with Alex Morton
20 Feb 2026
Chapter 1: How did Alex Morton go from a broke college kid to a multimillionaire?
I talk about how I went from a broke college kid to a multimillionaire. It really boils down to just the age-old success principles, but I kind of tailor it to like the millennial generation. Because a lot of young people, man, they don't want to listen to somebody with white hair. It is what it is.
But to listen to a young guy with a Rolls Royce and some big houses and some jewelry, you kind of blind them with like, hey, this is what I have and this is what I've done. And then you give them real information that they can apply and actually change their life if they want to.

I liked it as soon as I started reading about you. Let's start wherever you want to start. You know, kind of give them your background, your history, kind of your success journey.
I was born in Houston, middle class America. I saw mom and dad working super hard at a young age. They were in home building. Then they had a massive bankruptcy in the mid 90s. And then they got into the insurance business. So we went from like Houston, Texas to six months in West Virginia, eventually ended in Bexley, Ohio. small town.
And really at 14, 15, 16, my dad gives me Think and Grow Rich, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think Big and Kick Ass by Donald Trump. I'm like looking at business and entrepreneurship and being my own boss. And in school, I did okay. I made the honor roll a few times, football, basketball, tennis, whatever. But I was never interested in what they were talking to me. In the sales and doing something big.

Start your website today. crypto and nfts anything and everything that's kind of falling out of digital currency there's an education that you do and promote and there's a network aspect i guess a layering of compensation for that education
We've got great traders and educators that teach people how to trade and multiply money and all that. And then there's people like me that are sales, marketing, leadership, momentum, because I've been a part of close to probably 2 billion now in team sales. So I go in there and help just explode the marketplaces and build the business.
What's your key to success in sales?
Asking me that at 32, it has a lot to do with just telling the truth. In 2022, I feel like there's so much overhyped nonsense. And when you just tell a prospect, whether it's car sales, insurance, network marketing, ad agency, when you just tell people the deal, this is what it is, this is what it costs, I feel like you're going to close more deals instead of
running around the bush all the time and over-hyping, under-delivering, telling the truth, being transparent. I think it has a lot to do with confidence and how the salesperson sees themselves, literally their self-image of who they are. That's a big factor when it comes to closing small deals or multi-million dollar deals.
I know you guys are doing tours. I know you've been on the road a ton. What's that process? Is that getting people to these events and promoting the education? Talk to me about that as kind of part of your ecosystem.
