The lessons here aren't terrible, but the notion that he "lost everything" as a 22 year old with $50k in savings is frankly laughable. This kind of hyperbole is what keeps a lot of people from starting a business of any kind, when in fact they'd be ok taking a saner approach.

And yet again we have this MBA mentality that tech is unimportant. I quote:

  I was a non-techie founder
and then

   college roommate [...] co-founder [...] no dev/design skills
OK, so, you started a tech company with no tech founders? Go on ...

   4) Get clear on what your actually making.
OK, i see "your" issue here is much deeper...

   drugs
And, suddenly, everything is clear...
