I love this mindset by Jonny Burch: "On the upside, a company of that size and reputation would make an incredible partner for us as we grow, especially if the problems we’re solving are adjacent, not the same." -- most times, people and companies could open up opportunities where it's not a zero-sum game. This is true at work - in a big company, where multiple departments might develop the same infra just to find out the use cases are not identical - and in business.
