Hello Derek Hey how's it going
Nice to meet you in real life Yeah I've seen uh, ah man fucking dozens of your videos
So uh it's cool meeting you in person No yeah long overdue
How did you get started? Um for me I've always sort of just been like a nerd about pharmacology
and biology, endocrinology stuff like that and I've always just researched online about
random stuff and eventually I was encouraged by a few people to start posting online and
I was uh I just started writing out blog articles on a wordpress site maybe like five and a
half years ago or something at this point and eventually it got to the point where I
guess YouTube was already big but it wasn't that what it is now and I was just asking
people in the I don't know like mail self-improvement niche that I was friends with do you think
I should be posting videos too instead of just writing these articles and they said yeah
it's a no brainer you should be so I just started basically reiterating my articles
in video format too and then eventually the YouTube sort of outpaced the wordpress site
and that's why it's always you know Derek from moreplatesmoretakes.com that website was
where I originally wrote my articles and that eventually got to the point where it wasn't
very time efficient to write unfortunately so I kind of like moved disproportionately
towards video format because I can just fire off a video in I don't know 15 minutes that
otherwise that in written format would take five plus hours to write out if not longer.
