    Default from/with

    Hi

    Let's start with/from you.
    Let's begin with/from you.

    --- Are both correct?

    I would use "with" in both cases.

    Hi

    But is "with" just your preference and "from" is also passable?

    There could be certain circumstances where we might use "starting from you" but I can't think of any right now, whereas, "starting with you" works in all circumstances that I can think of.
