Ep 16 | Josh Morrissey: From $0 to $2B in Sales + 24 Suburb Records
Josh Morrissey has achieved over $2 billion in sales and built ACT's largest independent real estate agency from scratch. In this episode, he shares the raw story behind his success - from growing up in commission housing to meeting his estranged father at McDonald's at 18, which became the catalyst for everything that followed.
Josh opens up about the pivotal moment when his business was down to $1,000 in the bank with a newborn baby and six staff to pay. He explains his "state of war" mindset, why he deliberately keeps a mattress on his office floor, and how becoming a father made him 10x more driven rather than slowing him down.
We dive deep into his 10-year plan that took him from struggling agent to agency owner by 37, his zero staff turnover strategy, and why he walked away from $3.8 million in personal sales to focus on building his team. Josh also shares practical insights on time management, the AI tools replacing expensive services, and his approach to scaling a service-based business.
