Why did you and Van stop working together?

EDIT: Casey answered the question:

"The generic answer, which has a lot of merit, is our creative relationship had run it's course. We'd worked together, litlerally side-by-side, for 10 years and we both wanted diffferent things. I really really wanted to make videos/movies/tv with main-stream appeal, Van wanted desperately to focus on his sculptures and fine art. Money, earning an income and security was a priority of mine - less so for Van. I think me having a kid grounded my goals (still does) moreso than Van. The money thing - being broke, not being able to afford rent or food or the basics is probably the scariest thing in any parents life and right up until HBO that was something that was right in my rear-view mirror. It still kept me up at night. That has real impact on your priorities. There are a million little details that accumulated and ultimately yeilded us ending our working relationship but that was the big picture. Van is and forever will be the most creative guy I've ever known and the art he continues to make is just brilliant."

I feel like I'm getting the cold shoulder...

(Credit: RileyDoesAmerica) this is what he stated earlier today to a similar question "Started a production company with my former partner and my brother. That's what we did in the years after selling the show. Eventually my partner and my brother pursued other interests and I transitioned what was left of that company into my own production company which was what I did right up until starting Beme."

I wonder if anyone asked this question when he does panels. And what his reaction would be to it.
