I'm so glad that you brought a lot of this up because one of the things that you say is that the right co-founder relationship is often more critical than the business concept itself. And I think this was a great example of how that plays out.

I happened to talk to a person who used to work for Gary Vaynerchuk, and he was let go by Gary. And he said that Gary still supports him to this day, but he said it was one of the best wake-up calls because he wasn't bringing his best to the job.
