CARTWRIGHT MORRIS

Cartwright specializes in guiding and building emerging leaders within organizations and small businesses by bridging the confidence & readiness gap.


I am a certified coach, mentor, and consultant for emerging leaders looking to develop in leadership roles. I specialize in guiding and building leaders within organizations and small businesses. I am dedicated to fostering leadership development and refining executive decision-making skills for motivated individuals.

I have worked with hundreds of young professional leaders in the US and abroad. I spent over 12 years managing and developing leaders at organizations like Calvert & Associates, The Center For Executive Leadership, JH Ranch, and Heaven in Business. I have over 2000 hours of coaching, speaking, and mentoring while becoming a growing thought leader and speaker in fostering leadership development and building the next generation of business leaders.

I have developed my lifelong message into my keynote talk and Leadership Mentoring Program where I train emerging leaders within organizations to think and produce like an owner or executive and bridge the gap for emerging leaders toward becoming confident and feeling ready for senior leadership.

I host a podcast called MEN ARE FORGED. A podcast to empower men to be forged by their experiences, challenges, and hardships and gain confidence from them. Each episode shares the personal stories and insights from great men in business, family, and management who grew into leaders from their days of indecision and insecurity.

I spent much of my 20s and early 30s living the single life as an adventure; traveling, exploring new places, meeting new people, and experiencing the outdoors.

On March 11, 2022, I married my wife, Bethany, and we now explore together while residing in Birmingham, Alabama.

Core Values

Impact - I want to change the trajectory of your life to the point you impact others

Adventure - Maturity is found in those willing to embrace a life of new experiences and challenges.

Nuance - My mentoring conveys the complexity of the world we live in.

Comedy - I like to laugh; I hope to help you do the same.

Confidence - We must speak and live from a place of knowing who we are and why we are here.

Questions I address:

  • How do I learn from and use my biggest pain points toward my growth as a man and a leader?

  • How do I grow personally as well as in my career and finances?

  • How do I build healthy and meaningful relationships?

  • How do I become more present in my thoughts and actions?

  • How do I live a life of fun and adventure amidst a life full of responsibility?


There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.
