30. The Monday Break(Through) 019 - Copying Won’t Take You There

In this episode, I talk about something we don’t address enough: creative copying. After Jen Wagner shared a recent example of font theft, I reflected on my own experiences with people releasing work that feels too close to mine—and others, like Sam Parrett or Tropical Type.

Copying might feel like a shortcut, but it leads nowhere meaningful. It’s not just unfair to the original creator—it’s empty. True success comes from putting in the work, finding your voice, and staying honest with your process.

Whether you’ve ever been copied—or felt tempted to copy—this episode is a reminder of where the real creative power lives.
