To develop any product (tangible or virtual) you need manpower. You could code all you want and never complete the product. In order to execute an idea you need help and in order to execute big ideas, you need help from people with diverse skill sets. Its unlikely that you are going to be able to run the whole show and/or control everything.

Something that we never seem to learn (me included) -- You will get burned by implicitly trusting people. To succeed, make sure you put the trust in the right people. Josh, you had it right --- go with your gut, listen to that voice in the back of your head that is giving you hints that this person might not be the right guy even though he presents as a "superstar".

Good calls all around -- team is really what's important.

Exactly -- this is ehy an "A team" with a "B idea" often succeeds over a shit team that f's up a great idea.

Glad things are moving forward for you Josh. Take your licks.. learn your lessons and remember them for the future
