Derek From More Plates More Dates: His +$100M Business Empire, Bryan Johnson & TRT

Don't go with wealth management portfolio guys... because they get their management fees even they suck. And oftentimes, they will make it sound like they're doing great things when, objectively, they're under-performing a basic index fund.

For example, I think bison is the leanest, most nutrient-dense red meat, essentially, that you could get. And I will buy a ton of that even though it's three times more expensive than extra lean ground beef at the grocery store.

For me, job interviews became infinitely easier after I learned how to walk up to attractive women. Because if you can walk up to an attractive 10/10 and not get nervous, going into a job interview is just like butter.

... the age clocks—those are complete bullshit, essentially. And I don't think it's of great utility to be tracking those meticulously as if that's reflective of exactly what's going on.

When it comes to getting women, for example, when you were young, you do not need exorbitant amounts of funds; you actually don't even need to have the ability to support somebody in a long-term relationship. If you're young, you can have a piece of crap car and live with your parents and still crush it with literally, like, objectively 10 out of 10 girls in your age bracket.

I don't really buy anything luxury other than groceries ... Getting high-quality food, I think, is justified every single time.

I think the thing that helped me the most and what I typically recommend people to do... It's organically integrating things that you already use and truly believe in.

For example, [Bryan Johnson] will calorie-deprive the hell out of himself to the point of having hormone suppression but then supplement with testosterone. It's like, dude, make up your mind.

I wouldn't say that Semaglutide or some of these drugs are risk-free, though, and they certainly have question marks around their long-term used, especially in children who are developing.

I think a Gorilla Mind and Marek Health are billion-dollar companies in the future at some point, and I do very much intend for them to get there, and I strongly believe they will.

If I was single right now, I would get half as much work done, probably.

I think trust factor is everything nowadays, especially in the health niche. It is so hard to know who to trust because, oftentimes, the charlatans will get platformed too because they say outrageous things.
