Get excited, because after 8 years we are finally doing a podcast! The first episode is already recorded! It's really exciting for me, because there is so much I want to talk about. We are going to be going really deep into a lot of topics as time goes on. I hope people like it!
Wooooo! Can't wait!
We are the only ones that truly care about the results! To then get inaccurate or completely fraudulent results from 3rd party labs, and then have people say those results are more trustworthy than ours, really does upset me.
I'm very curious how we would create a system that rewards good labs, and punished the fakers. However, I think the success of your company is a sign that at least some people are paying attention. I definitely will pay a premium for stuff that is high quality.

The only way to hold companies accountable would be a completely separate industry association. That association would have to not be funded by the labs or brands. It would have to exist solely to be a watchdog, and it would have to be structured in such a way that it could be legally protected. It would have to be, because you are going to get into a lot of legal battles by calling out the people in the industry doing things wrong. You are going to be fighting a lot of people with a lot of connections and money. Those people are not going to want the status quo messed with.
Sometimes I dream about getting fed up, selling Nootropics Depot and the brands, and focusing solely on building an organization that will have the sole purpose of testing and verifying everyone in this industry, then relentlessly calling out the bad actors. Nothing would make me more fulfilled than that! I have to temper my actions these days to prevent blowback on my brands and company. However, what if that was all gone? What if I was just a crazy dude with a badass lab and no "conflicts of interest" to attack back over? What if I could just say all the shit I want to say, and take on all these assholes putting everyone at risk? It could end up as that some day. That's really the reason I got into this industry. I was just a moderator at /r/Nootropics experimenting with nootropics and supplements myself. After realizing we couldn't trust what we were buying for shit, I decided to start buying stuff, sending to labs, then calling out the companies we found were selling fake or impure products. I never wanted to build a brand selling things. I just realized I kind of had to. Then as we grew, I realized more and more that I couldn't even trust the labs without evidence, so I had to build my own. This whole thing started because I wanted to test products and call out shitty companies. I am muzzled a bit these days out of necessity for protection, but someday I might not be.
