Today we’d like to introduce you to Dereck Malone
Hi Dereck, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My journey started 12 years ago as a gamer. I streamed on a website called Twitch. I was a full time sponsored call of duty streamer for 7 and a half years. During covid I was vice president of a gaming website company and once covid released its restrictions in Ohio my girlfriend took me out on date night once a week. I seen first hand how many people were struggling, the owners trying to get people back inside dining, down to the servers who weren’t making any money. Shortly after that I thought why not try food reviews and help out these small mom and pop shops! Fast forward 4 years later I have collectively 2 million followers on all social media platforms
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It’s been one hell of a rollercoaster ride! Gaming had its ups and downs with monetizing as well as the impact it had on my body sitting in a chair for 15 hrs a day. I tried every platform possible. I never gave up and my community always pushed me. The food thing has a lot that comes along with it as well. I work out 6 days a week 2-3 hours a day mostly to maintain. Also we live in a very toxic world and being on social media from waking up to going to bed you see a lot of negativity and it’s mentally draining.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
In just a few years time we have acquired over 935,000 followers on just TikTok alone! Between all our socials we have almost 2 million followers. Monthly we produce 10 million – 30 million views Or more on all our platforms. We focus on showing off mom and pop shops, breweries, bakeries and much more! Dereck has been on Fox News, 40 plus newspaper articles across the United States, 17 magazines, recently interviewed with the New York Times and approached by 2 major networks. Hes recorded with some big names such as Brian Duffy (food network) Joey chestnut, espn and some professional athletes I mainly focus on mom and pop shops and they get extremely busy after we drop our review on them
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
My community is the real rockstars. I’m just the guy that travels and does these reviews 80 hrs a week. If it wasn’t for my amazing community who watch the videos from beginning to end, like, favorite, share, and repost these videos it wouldn’t be as impactful as it is.
