Short reaction video (creator: Hiten Shah) that uses a Breaking Bad scene between Jesse Pinkman and Walter White to illustrate common co-founder disagreements. The speaker advises a simple practical exercise: each founder write down expectations separately, then compare to reveal misalignment (e.g., both wanting to be CEO).

Look, I'm telling you Mr. White, it's too risky, okay? I mean we're making money. Why can't you just be satisfied with.
The way it is? Come on Jesus, just throw some balls. This is so common in terms of co founder disagreements when you don't understand each other yet and you probably don't have alignment on what your goals are. So I have one tip. If you're starting a relationship with a founder, write down your expectations separately on paper and then come together and discuss those and then see if there's actually fit. That's the hack to finding a co founder. You can't imagine how many times I've seen these expectations written down and folks tell me it's not going to work and then I ask them why we both want to be CEO. That's like probably the most common thing I've heard when people do it separately but that leads to really healthy discussions.
