What happens when employees leave… and start competing with you?

In this episode of Start It or Scrap It, we break down a real-world scenario where a company gets split apart—and what it means for founders, employees, and growth.

We get into:
- Non-competes vs non-solicitation (and what they actually protect)
- Why employees leave and take others with them
- How private equity deals can trigger unexpected business shifts
- The difference between experienced operators and people guessing
- A marketing channel with extremely high close rates that most businesses misunderstand

This is one of those conversations that shows how business actually works; not how people think it works.

If you're building or managing a team, this one matters.
