Extended Bio:
I once heard Richard Branson give an interview and he made a statement that resonated with me. “All business is simply responding to opportunity.” I love this statement. This is the inspiration for the blog title.
My name is Josh Morgan. I helped to found Intense Debate and get it off the ground with a talented set of Co-Founders: Jon Fox and Isaac Keyet. ID was accepted into the inaugural TechStars class.
After college, I enlisted in the Marine Corps and trained for nearly a year before being deployed to the Anbar Province of Iraq in 2005. I received a Purple Heart for wounds sustained from a roadside bomb and particpated in several combat operations as the “lead gunner” in a Mobile Assault Platoon. Operations I participated in were: Operation Matador, Operation New Market, Operation River Bridge, Operation Lightning, and Operation Quick Strike (Most are Wikipedia-able).
After coming home, working in Medical Sales for a year, and making ID as a hobby, ID was accepted into TechStars. Working with TechStars was a truly unique experience because of the caliber of people that surrounded us. Whether it be with other companies or our remarkable set of mentors: Brad Feld, David Cohen, Alex King, Eric Marcoullier, Todd Vernon, and so many more.
Intense Debate was acquired by Automattic in 2009.
I currently work at a boutique consulting company doing business development. I am also part of a stone distribution company that is bringing a remarkable stone veneer product to market.
The purpose of this blog is to share ideas about life, business, and even politics. Ideally, a great conversation will develop (to me, a blog is not a BLOG without conversation and comments).
