I just get a phone with big storage, right now using an iphone with 1 TB.

And I discover I actually use the photos a lot: - through the geo-location map of all photos - when I am trying to remember something, show somebody a specific memory, nudge my memory about a place or region I have visited, a hiking trail that I've followed, that view from that LA trip, etc. - through iOS photo search - it is not perfect but in 60% of the cases I actually find what I am looking for - random highlights that the OS gives me - I sometimes deep dive with Show in all photos and look at what I was doing back then

All my photos are synced in the cloud but I spend lots of time in the mountains, in the wilderness or travelling, so I prefer to have them all on my phone for the moments when internet connection is missing.

With all of these I actually feel very connected to my whole photo library.

That looks not legit:

- create urgency with timer

- my login details don't work

- full of ads

- requires login before searching

Thanks! Will read that one myself first :)

The Goal was very eye-opening to me since before that I've always have worked only on the side of business where I give my best to sell as much as possible and never cared about how are we then going to deliver this, handle the peaks that I create or the lows when I fail.

In this context for me it was the fundamentals that I needed to have in order to have meaningful conversations about capacities, production bottle-necks and optimisation without making the conversation a tutoring session for me.

Got it. I had some aversion to being reactive but I see how this can be beneficial.

Reviewing the OPSP now, thanks! Looks like something that we can go through together (even once) and get big benefits from the discussions and decisions it poses.

It doesn't really matter for me to count myself as a co-founder of what we have in our hands now. I used this term mostly since the growth stage co-founder dynamics are what we need to work on now and wanted to frame my question with it.

That has come up in my mind and it makes sense.

My biggest concern on this one is that it makes task management my responsibility, which at the end means that I have to go after him if he doesn't follow his deadlines for example. And I don't want to have this dynamic, at least in this way.

Already on it - 2.5x growth for now, and a lot more in the oven. I think that's the right moment for building this foundations, cause in a month or two we expect to be growing even faster and it would be good if we have a common language for this layer of things.

It is something that I have on top of my mind but even for the technicalities: - we are moving things to a brand new company now - there will be a new brand soon, old one would be left just for the domestic market (a very small percentage of expected sales) - working on new products, 80% of old ones would gradually be stopped

So I guess we are joining forces to create something new but in a step by step way so we can make bootstrapping it easier.

I think of it the same as with love - every morning you have to ask yourself if you still want to be with this person. In the business case - I always have it in my mind to evaluate such an option and for now I think - yes.

These are mine lines of thought as well, although I feel positive (non-rationally, I guess) about how this can develop in the future. There is just this step of the way where I want to establish a common vocabulary and structure on which we can then build. I've already seen in conversations the will for that and there is a precedent in the opposite direction with some books about manufacturing - The Goal and The Toyota Way - which was very constructive to how we talk about things.

1. Technically - yes. Although if we go to discuss this further we would go over this technicality. 2. That was clearly stated and discussed in depth in the beginning when I was joining. And yes - I am treating a lifestyle business as a growth potential business and that's what was clearly agreed from the beginning. He is having some difficulties with transitioning from this and thus I am trying to help him, not break him.

I think it is more like him giving me the book The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt (which was great and opened my eyes a lot) and me returning the gesture. On the other thing - I've just 2.5x-ed the sales now but we are working out together how to scale production. So I am looking on ways to optimise our relationship.

The stone that I hit is mostly based on different backgrounds - for example for him the concept of divorcing time from money comes in the beginning of the business, as business and life are not two separate things in his life. Having said this - he is willing to learn, but I am not the best teach that can lay so much foundations.
