Even if we had the original idea ourselves,

When really there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Like we don't want to steal their intellectual property or their logo or anything, but copy what's already working.

People think, you know, people don't think that that's the thing because they think if I copy a business that's already working, then I'm not going to get any customers because this existing business has all the customers.

But it's interesting.

I had someone on the show where they talked about how some of the greatest entrepreneurs in the world basically just copy 95% of the blueprint.

I think it was Walmart.

I think he was talking about Walmart.

Yeah, they copied other like regional grocery chains.

Copying as a strategy.

Have you done that?

Oh, absolutely.

Give me an example.

Okay, well, I had a phone repair business when I was in college, 2010.

And I got a call one day from someone that said, hey, Chris, I want to buy all of your broken iPhone screens.

Do you have any broken iPhone screen?

Sure.

We don't throw them away because we think it's bad for the environment.

We just have a box of them.

How much will you pay me?
