How did you guys find your business partner when starting a business?

Were you guys close friends?
Did you meet in college?
Are you related?

How do you find someone who thinks like you, its hard to have a business orientated discussion with someone who doesn't view the world like you (from a producer stand-point).

How do you find the person to become your friend, trust you, sacrifice with you, help build upon your ideas, contribute to them, and make them better (two heads are better then one), and eventually make your business partner?
