Howdy Partners

Will and Tom discuss how to apply the 80/20 to your day to day work in partnerships. Will argues against its usefulness as a framework for thinking about partners, saying it confuses people and doesn’t convey enough nuance because it’s such a general rule. Tom makes points to Will’s argument while backing the 80/20 rule.

Tom argues for its use as a guide, specifically for startups. They discuss the benefits of considering partner influence in the ecosystem.
