The MWG Origin Story (Part 1)

It's been said, "You can't know where you're going unless you know where you've been." In this week's episode, CEO David White shares the story of how Morgan White began. It's an entertaining story (especially when you hear how opposed David was to getting into the insurance business)! It's also enlightening for us, as employees of MWG today, to hear how the company has evolved from such humble beginnings and how God has orchestrated its development.

At the end of the last episode David left us with a bit of a cliffhanger. He and Johnny had sold the company to Mark Rattner and had just founded AmFirst Insurance Company. Then, much to David's surprise, Mark sold the company to Houston Casualty, a huge publicly-traded company. Now we'll hear how God turned this potentionally bad situation into a huge blessing. It's also the point in the story where Rick Eaton joined the company as CFO.

This episode is a little change of pace as we talk to CFO Rick Eaton about God's financial plan for each of our lives. He'll talk about what it means to be a "Psalm 112 person" and the meaning behind "doing well and doing good."

Here's a link to Rick's sermon referenced in this episode …

What does it mean to work with a spirit of excellence? In this first episode of an exciting 3-part series, Tripp Douglas, Morgan White’s VP of Communications and manager of Crema Design Studio, explains. In this episode we lay the groundwork for Biblical excellence by discussing its basis in scripture. We also discuss what it means to do everything "to the glory of God," and how that might impact our day-to-day lives (including our jobs).

In part 1 of this series, Tripp Douglas, Morgan White’s VP of Communications and manager of Crema Design Studio, laid the groundwork for what it means to do our work with a spirit of excellence. In this episode, we continue the conversation and discuss how our attitude makes all the difference — not only in the results of our work, but also in our enjoyment of it. Tripp also gives a couple of real-world examples of some of the amazing things that can happen when people apply these principles to their jobs.

In the conclusion of our series about working with a spirit of excellence, Tripp answers three big questions:

  1. Is excellence the same as perfectionism?
  2. Why does it matter to God anyway?
  3. Will it guarantee success?
