Host

SAM MORRIS

Co-Founder, The O8 | Operations, Systems & Cash Management Specialist

Sam Morris has been running her own business for 21 years. Before that, 12 years in Navy logistics — where the job was making complex operations run without drama.

That's still the job.

On The Thriving Business Podcast, Sam covers the side of business that most owners learn the hard way: how to manage your cash so you're not profitable on paper and broke in the bank, how to build systems that mean the business doesn't need you in every room, how to hire without it blowing up, and how to use AI as a genuine operational tool — not just a content shortcut.

She's not a theorist. She's been inside her own business long enough to know where the real problems hide.
