Breakfast with Ben Young

I was up in Auckland yesterday, and as I often do, I met up with Ben Young (or @bwagy) for breakfast/brunch.

It's kinda weird as if you looked at it in an old fashioned business way - we are competitors of sorts. And yet we both make the effort to share our thoughts and ideas.

So why do we do this?

• It gives us both a chance to compare notes and gain additional insights about the web marketing industry we both work in.
  
• It also allows us to be inspired by each other.
  
• It allows us to sometimes collaborate on projects.

I see it as co-opertition.

A way in which we can both co-operate and compete, to create better results for us both.

How could you create co-opertition in your business? And with whom?
