Author: Dodge Woodall January 7, 2026 Duration: 1:39:42

Simon Morris shares how he helped shape some of the biggest shifts in modern media, from launching Sega and Sonic in the UK, to building Football 365, to disrupting Blockbuster with LoveFilm before its acquisition by Amazon. Simon explains how spotting change early, backing new technology, and scaling at the right moment played a central role in his career.


He also reflects on losing everything at the height of success, battling addiction, getting sober, and rebuilding his life from the ground up. Simon discusses leadership, intuition, resilience, and what long-term success actually looks like beyond money and titles.


This is the eventful life of Mr Simon Morris

Dodge Woodall hosts Eventful Lives, a podcast built on the simple premise that everyone has a remarkable story if you know where to look. Since launching in 2020, he’s sat down with over 350 guests from an incredibly wide spectrum of life, creating a unique blend of conversation that spans business, culture, and true crime.

This variety is the show's signature, offering listeners unexpected connections between the worlds of elite entrepreneurship, high-stakes sports, health, and nightlife promotion. The conversations are less about formal interviews and more about uncovering the pivotal moments-the events, decisions, and turning points-that truly define these fascinating lives.
