About this episode

E343: What a crazy day.

One of the biggest faceless marketing Instagram accounts steals my viral script and reuses it with ElevenLabs.

I get my first impersonator on TikTok. Somebody creates 4 accounts impersonating me to scam people with.

One of the biggest business podcast hosts steals copy from a friend after going on a tirade about how people are stealing his content.

I steal that business podcast host's initial email flow.

This is the reality of the Internet.
