Yeah. I think there's a difference between good theft and bad theft. There's a really simple term that he talks about of even yourself being copied of... the elevator test.

Like if you get into an elevator with someone who copied your work or, uh, would they pat you on the back or would they punch you in the face where it's just like, uh, like we all know the feeling of if someone like take something we do, uh, and you're like, that's like way too similar to what I do. Uh, you would, you would be upset if they walked into an elevator elevator with you.

And then, you know, the feeling of someone who is inspired by you and they, they make something and you're like, dude, great, great job with that. Um, that's like a really, uh, simple, simplified version of it. Um, but you know, the, the other thing he talks about is, um, in the beginning, and we did this as creators, plain and simple.

Like when we first started as the Colin and Samir channel, we were desperately trying to be like Casey Neistat. I think everyone was at that era. Uh, he was like this amazing daily vlogger, uh, was able to tell stories about his daily life that, uh, it just felt like no one had ever seen before and everyone wanted to be like him. And we tried our best and failed miserably.

He's a much better storyteller and also lived a much more interesting life. But the interesting part about that is what Austin Kleon talks about. It's like you're taking apart the car. So you're like reverse engineering this thing you really like and starting to feel what it feels like to make that. And a lot of times creative people need like an impetus of like, what do I make?

Ideas are like one of the most challenging parts of creativity. It's not the technical ability. A lot of people can film and edit now. It's what the hell do I make? So taking apart the car, seeing the different parts, seeing how it all comes together, reverse engineering is a really great tactic in learning how to do something. But then you got to put it together in a different way.

You got to put it back together in your own way. If you keep putting it back together in the exact same way, it's just uninteresting.
