Derek from MorePlatesMoreDates built credibility over ten years by obsessively studying experts and translating complex research into accessible information. He doesn't call himself an expert, just someone who learned deeply and teaches what he found. Most educators fail at making hard material simple.
It's wild how many bad educators there are out there, for sure. And how did you become an expert? Through years of self-education, but also educating myself through experts. And I feel I'm very good at extrapolating out and determining what is valuable information and then assimilating it into my own consolidated framework. I've been researching like a maniac 10+ years at this point. I don't necessarily claim to be an expert. Oftentimes people will label me as such, but, you know, I'm just a guy who's a nerd and learns a lot of shit, and it's been to date. But a lot of this stuff is available though too. It's just hard to translate into layman's terms.
