11. Jonathan Morris, Entrepreneur: Constructing a Barbershop and a 21-room Boutique Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas, Pandemic Cooking, & "Self-Employed"

Fort Worth-based entrepreneur Jonathan Morris has an undeniable passion for building community and runs two local businesses with the shared focus of bringing people together. In 2014, he opened the first elevated barbershop experience in his area, which quickly became one of the city's premier grooming establishments.

Morris is also the co-founder of Memo Hospitality Group and is currently developing a 21-room boutique hotel, which is expected to open in Fort Worth in early 2021.

Morris and I discuss the democratization of information, his Forth Worth family legacy, and his new television show with Joanna and Chip Gaines's Magnolia Network, "Self-Employed".
