moving out of my room and deciding to share office space was a catalytic moment that led to the formation of our startup a year later. hard to believe that 3yrs later (given where we're at now) this whole thing can be traced back to a decision to stop working out of the house. This would be an interesting discussion.

Who doesn't need to hear this and/or get a review? I've been down the path but everybody can always learn from others' travels as well.
