I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to anyone that has expressed support for Rogue Life. In the three years since I began this project/business a lot has changed. I now have multiple companies & multiple brands that I actively manage as well as an amazing & supportive group of suppliers & customers.
In addition to creating my own brands my passion has been to help other businesses & brands develop ideas & concepts to enhance what they already have. I take a huge amount of joy in doing this and I continually find myself being rewarded for taking this approach.
Recently it came to my attention that another local company to whom I had reached out to for help & discussed potentially collaborating with when I began this journey has recently opted to adopt my brand as their own. I am both flattered & deeply saddened by this. To have established your own success in business but rather than help out another local business, you instead opt to take from them not only shows a complete lack of creativity but is also morally & ethically bankrupt.
To this business, I will not call you out by name. I have already spoken directly to you and stated how i felt. I hope you are very happy with your decision and may you find continued success in selling Rogue Life branded gear & apparel. I will be reminded of and flattered by your need to take what I created everyday when I drive by your storefront or see your online store come up in my feed.
Support small business, support your community, & play nice.
