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

We had set ourselves up in a position where we were unwilling to ever admit defeat, which created a strong bond among us.

Despite facing dysfunction in decision-making, the deep trust among us as leaders helped us avoid falling apart.

We were all friends and had worked together before, which made us confident that our co-founding team was the right fit for building something long-term.

In the early days, we worked like a family, sharing a mission and holding each other accountable.

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.

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.

We never had an argument in our partnership; we just rolled with it easily, and if disagreements arose, I wouldn't fuss over them because the overall record was successful.
