Description
Steal Like an Artist, not a Creative Copycat
“Imitation is about copying. Emulation is when imitation goes one step further, breaking through into your own thing.” - Austin Kleon, Steal Like an Artist
When you're a kid, copying is second nature. It's a harmless and innocent way to express yourself and develop some artistic skills.
When you get older, copying is no longer so innocent—especially when you pass someone else's work off as your own.
That's why, today, we're going to talk about riding waves, stealing waves, and making waves of your own.
There are ways to emulate without plagiarism. There are ways to put your own unique flavor on a style to stand out from the noise.
Don't die a copycat, be a different breed.

Clarity Comes From Dipping Your Toes in the Water: This episode of the Perspective Podcast is centered around breaking away from thinking and planning and dipping your toes in the water and taking action. You can’t make progress by sitting on dry land. Yet, you also can’t commit and dive into the deep end when you're not confident in the direction you pick. Scotty talks more in depth about: - **you fail by default by never trying in the first place** - _Trying anything over doing nothing_. - you having a difficult time finding clarity by getting trapped in the world of thinking and planning - **it being impossible to be perfect** , especially when you start.
