“ People always want to partner with their friends, or they have this kooky idea that they’re going to work on and they’re like ‘Oh, Bob and I are going to partner on this.’ 99% of the time it’s a mistake. The only time it’s not a mistake is when that partner can absolutely, positively do something you cannot do yourself… That said, I have two partners now. ”
