My thoughts on the documentary "Startup.com" emphasize the valuable insights into the role of friendships in business. The documentary takes through the rise and fall of GovWorks in the 1990s, founded by Tom and Kaleil. Their strong friendship played a crucial role in the company’s early success, with Kaleil's visionary leadership and ambitious entrepreneurial spirit complemented by Tom's analytical skills and attention to operational details. Together, they formed a strong team that created opportunities, allowing them to gain traction and achieve success through their hard work and dedication.

However, as the company began to grow, the pressures of the business world began to take a toll on their friendship and business relationship; it began to seep into their personal interactions, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty and mistrust. The Increase in competition and the demands of rapid growth led to conflicts over ideas and goals, which ultimately hindered GovWorks’ ability to execute its business model effectively. The mix of personal friendship and professional tension can complicate decision-making and disrupt teamwork, ultimately impacting the company's performance complicating their leadership dynamic. This rapid growth introduced risks, causing misalignment in their plans and contributing to issues in their relationship.

In the end, Tom made the difficult choice to step away from GovWorks as conflicts within the business escalated. His decision was driven by a desire to protect his friendship with Kaleil, prioritizing their personal bond over the challenges facing the company. This outcome underscores that maintaining strong relationships is essential, even amidst professional struggles and setbacks.

CyberCrime

 from my understanding cybercrime includes various illegal activities carried out using the internet, and it can impact individuals, companies, and even governments. Three common types of cybercrime that i researched can include phishing, ransomware attacks, and identity theft.   phishing can occur through fraudulent emails or websites that appear legitimate. For example, an attacker may send an email that looks like it’s from a well-known company (like a bank or an online retailer), asking the recipient to click a link and "verify" their account information. The link leads to a fake website that resembles the real one, where victims unknowingly enter their data. A similar experience happened to me recently. Although my personal information wasn’t stolen, I did receive several suspicious texts and emails about supposed package deliveries. The messages seemed to be phishing attempts, trying to trick me into clicking on links or providing personal details. These types of sc...
