    Hey Ben, love this interview series. A little feedback, try a podcast/interview like setup where you and the guest are looking at each other. I don’t know you might be constrained by resources(camera or microphone), but in this setup it looks like both the guest & you are struggling to maintain eye contact with each other & camera.

      From my experience editing interviews in the podcast style, it’s a little more time intensive as you have to switch cameras between whoever’s speaking.

    Equity is really a Key rule. I know 2 friends in that industry but one got a huge equity share when a company went public netting him over $12 million. That level of wealth you can walk away anytime and just manage yourself investments.
