What Morgan Hartley Thinks of Me

What Morgan Hartley Thinks of Me

Trevor got here because he loves to work. In fact, he defines himself through his work. I visited him five times over the course of two years, and every single visit began at his office in the East Village. I learned that if he invited me over for beer, I should bring a computer, because we would probably spend an hour answering emails before we actually went anywhere. Even if he did offer me a beer when we got there, he would crack two of them and go back to his computer, barely finishing three sips before we left.

When we did go out, we talked about startups. It was an entrepreneurial version of watercooler talk, gossiping about who got funded by which VC, who was hustling on the next facebook, and whose ideas were totally off. Even his love life seems focused on work—he dates a graphic designer that had attended one of his company’s workshops, and that he recruited to work for him.

His devotion to his company, however, gives one an unshakeable faith in his ability to succeed. He will not fail, because he will not stop. It’s almost as if he can’t stop.

What’s important is that Trevor believes in his vision more powerfully than anyone his age I’ve met. His head is wrapped around it, always turning new ways of implementation, such that even when he’s talking to you you feel like he’s still concentrating on it.

His head lives in his vision, a vision where thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs are empowered to start better businesses because they know how to create a good idea. Faster and faster, that vision is forming into a reality.
