Why Would a Fox News Anchor Leave to Start His Own Small Business?

For most people, being on the number one cable news show in the world would be the highlight of their career. But on this week’s radio show, I talked with Clayton Morris, a former FOX News anchor and member of the Fox and Friends team. The people that knew Clayton well thought he was crazy when he left to start his own business, but like so many entrepreneurs, he had a pivotal career moment. He discloses how during the Great Recession he lost his residence in Florida, faced a legal judgement that froze his bank account and ruined his credit. Clayton was also living in fear because he stated that “you are only as secure as the length of your contract”.  At that important moment, he wanted to create a company that diversified his wealth. He decided to start a business investing and rehabbing inexpensive rental homes.
