Breaking Bad is a co-founder story disguised as a drug-dealing story.

It’s a hilariously accurate image of what co-founder challenges look like.

Here are the best example scenes and what you can learn from them.
This is a classic mistake: partnering based on complimentary skillsets alone.

A lot more is required for an effective co-founder relationship.

Above all, you have to know that you get along and work well together.
The idea will change, the skillset needs will change, but your co-founder will stay the same person.

Partnering with friends and doing work trials is so powerful. You’re ensuring you can actually work together in practice.

Here’s YC’s advice for running a work trial. Image

Early stage VC backed SaaS companies have to get to larger and larger customers faster then ever before in order to grow into their recent valuations. This opens up opportunities for pre-seed and seed stage companies to double down on freemium while maintaining a low burn rate.
If you’re early with low burn, I would recommend figuring out if you have a viable freemium strategy. A free forever product that can have high retention is what you’re aiming for.
Better yet, if you’re self-funded then this is your time to shine. Do what well-funded competitors with large teams cannot easily do. What was a healthy burn rate a year ago is considered baggage now.

I commissioned 1:1 derivatives of several NFTs that I’m planning on holding. I wanted to support these artists and also own a collection frozen in time that represents these early days of jpeg ownership.
First up, my Lazy Lion profile pic was made into 3d by @Futuredesigns01
I really love the 3d style that @Futuredesigns01 creates for different collections. Here’s another one I commissioned of my favorite Cool Cat.

Here's the headline...

"55% of Americans plan on finding a new job in the next 12 months" @bankrate

Or…

"4mm quit their jobs in April... In tech, resignations increased by 4.5%" @HarvardBiz

Now forget about the career angle and think about what this means...
From our own research, just under half (45%) of employees have taken documents with them after they've left the company.

Another 35% say they can still access Google Drive / Box / Dropbox after they leave.

Materials may range from mundane to highly sensitive...
"...Mid and large companies use SSO. Once people leave the company, wouldn't removing SSO access mean you're good?"

Nope.

Over half of the 300+ people we surveyed said they had added their personal email to work documents.
