There was a deep integrity and trust among us, which meant we never blamed each other for failures; we were all in it together.

We had a surprisingly functional four-person leadership team, despite our dysfunctional interpersonal dynamics and management practices.

None of us wanted to take on each other's roles, as we were all comfortable in our own areas of expertise, which helped us form a strong bond during tough times.

Trusting teams to make decisions leads to better outcomes than traditional command-and-control structures.

We all had moments where we impressed each other, which contributed to our strong team dynamic despite occasional disappointments.

During a financial crisis, one of the best decisions was to take the team on a retreat to foster communication and confidence, despite the company's struggles.

Focusing on the long term and planning for the future helped us ignore present conditions, allowing us to cherish the moment despite challenges.

Having a four-person co-founder team and maintaining engagement from all members over the years is rare, but our strong interpersonal dynamics contributed to our stability.

Despite the dysfunction, we respected each other's areas of ownership, which allowed us to function and grow the company effectively, and we all found motivation from the challenges we faced while building Twitch, which required perseverance.
