In this episode, we spill the tea on copycats and our income! How do we really feel about accounts that copy us? And why did a recent interaction with a copycat leave a bad taste in our mouths? We also tackle the number one question you all wanted to know last week: How much do we really make? And is James underpaid? Tune in for candid discussions about originality, the impact of imitation, and a no-holds-barred look at our paychecks. We want to hear your two cents!
