Thinking about starting a business with friends?
Be careful.
In this powerful clip, Warren Broadnax shares a costly lesson many entrepreneurs learn too late:
👉 Don’t give away equity too early
👉 Don’t assume friends will match your work ethic
👉 Don’t build your company without thinking long-term
Because here’s the reality:
👉 Your idea might work
👉 Your business might scale
👉 And you could end up giving away millions
If the wrong people own equity:
👉 You can’t take it back
👉 You’re stuck
👉 And they still get paid—even if they’re not contributing
The lesson?
👉 Treat your business like it’s going to succeed
👉 Protect your ownership
👉 Build with intention from day one
