I've been a prison.
members and one that induced those to me in the very early ages. So not given much possibility for a future of your own embodying love and not letting that bitter your heart and just love people no matter who or the what they did. It's been a challenge. So there's been meaning. David Morrison is an entrepreneur, builder, and the founder of ALR construction. He believes every challenge can become a foundation for growth using his journey in business
to encourage others to pursue purpose, restoration, and meaningful change. Living a legacy is not about me. It's about the people that follow me. I'm writing a book right now. I'm really building my legacy by sharing my past. Wow. My legacy is not going to be what I build, but it's going to be what I show.
The most important thing here is getting a word out for other people.
It's thinking about me generating money from my company. We do find on that end. This is about generating new lives and touching new people and teaching them how to get out of that dark place into a life. It spans the world. Like a super high school into their elders. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over. I'm telling how we are.
The living your legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy. Welcome back to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast for Insights Access. I am Regretiers. We are moments away from interviewing this man that enjoys shaking his hands towards camera. He is also a construction worker and having an amazing laugh.
“Sir, who are you? What are you doing in my podcast?”
Well, my name is David Morrison. I'm from Birmingham, Alabama, and I started a little construction
company with no experience in running a business and it ended me up here in front of you. Right on, Alabama, no experience construction. It doesn't get better than that. You're the toolbag in a hammer. It gets you a long way. You know, you could build anything with that even a business out of nothing. Right on, who are? Right on, whatever the Marine say. Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? I play a lot of Halo.
Anyways, dude, so welcome. You're about to film your episode of Legacy Makers, which makes you not just a construction worker, but a maker of Legacy's. How do you feel? I think that's pretty awesome. I think that living a legacy is not about me. It's about the people that follow me and I have two children that I hope that, you know, my legacy will run into theirs and they can carry it on and do their own thing with it. You know, I support either one
of them or whatever direction they have and I have the ability to support them even more now that I built my own legacy. Right on, dude, you know. Did you ever think, you know, with your hard hat on, looking at this construction site, did it would land you in a podcast in South Beach? Absolutely. Well, welcome aboard. Right, welcome to the insights success. What do you think is the success to your story? Oh, that's a good question.
“I would think that ever since I can remember, I remember the, and you'll hear more about this”
possibly if you in the next next video, but there's a lady that I will, my dad was doing some work for in Miami, I grew up hour from here. No way in Carl Springs, Florida. Oh, you're Carl Springs? Yeah, yeah, I grew up in the, down the grove, and then my folks and I moved back to Alabama at 17. Not the same. Not at all, but it's so beautiful here. I love it. I love it so much. It feels like home still though. But this lady told me that I could be anything while I was
there working with my dad, you know, and she said she looked at me and it was so so sincere. She's like, you could be anything in the world, even the president one day. And man, like that, that moment, like stuck with me for the rest of my life. And a may have been one of the focal points that I paid attention to the rest of my life. That no matter where I was at today, that tomorrow I could be something else. I could be somewhere farther. Folks that I speak to here would call that a
guardian angel. Thanks. Do you think, do you think that person that spoke to you would,
“would, would, would ever think that you would have that memory of this of that moment? I think she”
probably would. I think that I think she was an earth angel of some sort, right? And I don't think that she says things like that, likely. You know, good for you for recognizing. Yeah. Right on, oh, well, recognizing the signs and the patterns of life and your frequency, tell us, where do you begin? Where does your story begin? It doesn't start with construction. Oh, I would hope not. No, does it deconstruct? That's a good, that's a good. That's awesome. That's awesome. I'm an only shot.
Please, this story begins with a lot of pain. You know, but where it really begins is only other side of that pain, that awakening from that pain. And removing, removing yourself from all the
programming that all the people who have given you over the world. You know, first you said vibration,
elevating your vibration, medicine love, practice, and the right principles in your life, not to keep you on a low vibration, raising your vibration. Oh, yeah, love it. I'm glad you appreciate that because I owe all that to folks like you. I've sat in this chair and run my own
Interviews with all folks.
vibrations and learning how your mindset interacts with your whole frequency of your existence. So
I'm very new to this. So if I sound like I know what I'm talking about, I'm just making it up as I go. You sound pretty knowledgeable. There you go. Such as 80% of what an entrepreneur is. That is absolutely as 100% yes. So let's talk about the the gibber job or the the guff, the making it up as you go, but also feeling the downloading your heart as you are speaking. Like, but you are physically or carpenter, you are building. Talk about the magic of putting your hands to objects and making.
Well, I find out that I'm not limited. I'm not limited just to building buildings because I started with with my father building cabinets. Wow. And there's a long generation from my great, great, great grandparents down, you know, that were builders. So Mason's all of that. So
all of them were very architectural, you know, very physical with their hands and they did some
form of building. So it's in my DNA. So if you go back to DNA, that was handed down to me too. Absolutely. So when I was 14, my dad looked at me and he said, you're better than 90% of the men, my age I work with. I could already do what they do better. So how did that elevate me and my career moving forward? I found everything I did they become real easy. And I picked up on it, sheetrock, a siding or windows or whatever. And then it moved into commercial where I started building
hospitals. And it all was easy. Yeah. It was all just very easy to me. And that's just generations of just man of just, you get bad karma and sometimes you get some good stuff. You got some good stuff. That's quite the time compression. Yeah. You definitely have legacy traits in you. You know,
“I always say eternal life is through your children, through your, your, your, your,”
merely cool organs as the nerds say. That's passed out through generations. Talk about
what you're building today. And and what you think the reason why you're sitting in this chair. What am I building today? Has nothing to do with construction. But yeah, it still has to be manifest in built in its own way. Wow. I'm writing a book right now. Um, I'm really building my legacy by sharing my future, my life, my past. Wow. My legacy is not going to be what I build, but it's going to be what I show. Wow. You know, I just got back from Costa Rica. I spent five
days in meditation seminars and health seminars, just constant eight hours of just learning more and more and more about their culture, about how to meditate, how to breathe properly, you know, and in metaphysics and a lot of that. And then I spend every Tuesday at a Bible college and learning theology and leadership through ministry. So I'm looking and then I'm planning to go to, you know, look at Buddhism and looking at all these other and and build my own structure and all of that.
“You know, um, because I think there is so, it's so segregated that nobody is, is the meteor”
and going, hey, they're all have so much similarities. Like there's so many similarities in each one of these. Yeah, you look, look at you go, you're right. You have this one following, J. C. You know, like you just walk around the earth and download all this data, you know, kind of doing the thing on the cloth for us and like, you know, the Christian thing, what a nonsense. Hey, man. I mean, right on dude, like how do he has to do it? So it's got to do it.
Um, yeah, gosh, there's this, there's we can take the conversation so many ways. What was, what was the, their journey point? Was that was there a light switch that went off before the version of you are today? Like was there a ying to the ying? Uh, uh, uh, uh, an of alpha to the omega? Like, yeah, so every, every, every dark has a light and every light has a dark. And I have a very dark side. Oh, and I would think so because you're so bright now. Think about. Thank you. Yeah,
so that's a good point, you know. Um, but I've been a prison. I was addicted to drugs for years and years and years and a family members and one that induced those to me in the very early ages. So, um, not given much possibility for a future of your own, you know. So, having a, having come back to a solvent being and, you know, embody and love and not letting that bitter your heart and just love people no matter who or the what they did, you know, um, it's been a challenge.
So, there's been many light switch moments. But there was one, and this began about a year ago when I started meditating. So, I started on the other side in the Christianity and I ended up in meditation. Yep. And then same. See. And that's a perfect way to navigate because Christianity gave me an, an outlet to love, right? And experience worship within meditation gave me an actual outlet with the, with the, with the source. Yes. And tap and end and get in some divine downloads,
“like you said. Yeah. Um, but I remember meditating and, um, on my pool one night and just felt”
this, uh, light, light just burned through my heart and it burned away all of the hurt and pain that I've been through. I was doing some shadow work at the time. And it really, it cleansed me so good. Man, in ever since then, I have not had any, I don't know. I've been in
Different being.
I have, I don't have anybody to talk to about it though. But it is a kind of quite a lonely experience. It's, it's really interesting to it. They don't tell you. So yeah, it is lonely at the top. Your friend group goes from here to here. Yeah. And then you don't have much in common with those people. Yeah. Because the national, a lot of conversations don't no longer gave you any more in friends. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So you end up isolated
this hurt. Yeah. Yeah. I've, like, I'm very proud of, like, the crit, what I created with my influence back in the day when I mattered and cared for when I mattered. But now I haven't posted anything on social media for seven years. I've been so isolated on my own. It's, I'm a hermit and but by design. I'm just so like a piece now. Yeah. And then yeah, when I, when I like to like peacock once in a while, it's fun. But I call that the artist's journey. But that's when I,
but when I reveal myself through the public, I don't look like this. I have beer here with makeup and then I, I met this avatar. We're just something that looks coach you as an entrepreneur creating multiple avatars, creating the multiple versions of yourself. And then wearing your
true authentic shield always, but creating scenarios. So basically defend yourself. You know what I mean?
Yeah. What, what are you doing today now? Like, how can folks discover you and learn more about you? So I've just started doing some social media presence all my own. So I do for the business for my business. We keep videos going. Of course. And I do videos on all work, you know, but all my personal where I've been keeping it kind of private. Absolutely. I'm just now starting to
“open that up because that's what my, my legacy is going to be is sharing what I've done.”
I've come from the darkest of the dark, from the deepest of the deepest. And my book is going to explain every bit of from, you know, being born into a family that shows no education in religion. Well, you know, in top tom, they're both under 18 years old in the 70s when they have children. You know, my mom's 13, she has my sister, 14, when she has me, you know, so very young, not knowing how to be parents. So love and compassion. And, you know, those things weren't given to us,
but moving into that navigating into other issues throughout life, you know, wow, um, just really looking back and see in the world for what it really is. Yes, sir. And I grew up, like I said, hour and a half from here. My role spring is Florida. Yeah. And um, for 16 or 17 of those years. And these are the years we really define you. Because then the next 10, you're trying to find a way from that or somewhere else. You don't know where you're going.
And then the 30s hit. And then the 30s hit. And then it gets darker. When you hit it, you're at the 40s. That was in prison in some of the 30s. So wow, I got dark from me towards my end of my 30s. I'm recovering from that. I'm on my third or fourth peak. But 40, 40, 41s have been rather strange. 42s have been pretty great. You're 42 now. Yes, sir. Hey. Yeah. Well, you're the years only. You're going to be better for you. I feel it. I feel it. I feel it. I'm 100.
“100%. Thank you. Yeah. I believe that. I believe that. I'm, you know, you're in for a treat,”
Lauren, our general studio one when I'm not at the helm. One of my princesses, you're in for a treat. I'm eager to learn more about you. And, uh, yeah, it's a 90 minute session. You're going to sit

Well, this definitely let the juices get rolling. Hell yeah, um, right now. Now I'm settled and I'm good to go. Cool, man. Right on. Would you like to talk about construction?
I don't care what we talk. No, it's all good. We're all good. Yeah. Cool. Cool. I'm pretty stuff. But I believe it. You build hospitals, man. You're building miracles. And I like I said, I, I'm eager to hear more about your story. So let's wrap it up. What's a dot com. It's a good way to find you. Uh, that's a good question. Facebook just look us up. We're in Birmingham, Alabama, ALR construction. And from there, you can navigate to Instagram. And I,
