Hey guys, welcome back to Thick and Thin with me, Katie Bilotti. Hot off the presses,

we have another episode on Thursday, of course. I've been really good with my Thursday upload schedule. Hope you

guys are liking it slash it resonates with you and all of the other things you're listening to

and doing. But something I did want to share because it just kind of dawned on me that I mean honestly it hasn't really just dawned on me. I've noticed this by listening to other people's podcasts and whatever.

When I'm recording the intro to my episodes,

it's not after the fact in the sense

that some people record their full episode

hey guys, in this episode we talk about x y z I'm one of those people

Completely different than other people and it's just so interesting to me that you know you could have this similar thing that we all do or not all of us but a lot of us have a podcast these days it could be the same thing but we go about it different ways and that is the beauty of the creative process and that my friends is what we were talking about today

the creative process but not just limited to

creative careers, I would just say honestly anything that you do that is

different or sets yourself apart or that you, honestly just anything you do can apply to this. I'm going to be

talking a little bit about copying today, how to be inspired by someone but not

fully rip off their work, how to be original in a space where there are so many people

doing exactly what you're doing and just how to kind of find your way in whatever you are doing.

Find the confidence, find the material,

just overall navigate such a saturated world

because there are so many people already doing things you know that are

amazing and we think oh is there room for me here like do I even have a place
