Welcome back to Cortex. On this episode, I am honored to be joined by Hank Green. Hank is an OG

YouTuber with the channel Vlog Brothers, that he runs with his brother, John Green. And over the last

18 years, he has become a huge figure in cultural and science communication, as Vlog Brothers

grew into projects like Crash Course, Complexly, DFTBA, and many more.

I think Hank Green is one of the best communicators of our time, and I personally just feel smarter

because I watch his content. Hank was one of the people at the very top of my list when I started

this series. As you'll hear, he is an incredibly busy man, and I really wanted to

know how he handles everything that he somehow manages to do, especially given the rate at which he

comes up with new ideas, like this year, he shipped an iOS app that became the number one app in America.

This man is non-stop. Before we get started with the interview,

I want to mention something we're doing with Moortex right now. I'll talk about this at the end of the

episode, but we are running our annual holiday sale. You can get 20% of an annual plan of

Moortex by going to getmoretext.com and using the code 202525 holidays at checkout. The more text for this episode

is really good. Hank and I talk about what makes a great podcast and why podcon didn't work.

So if you stop right now actually and sign up for more text, you're going to hear this whole

conversation with no advertising interruptions. That's at get moretext.com and use the code 2025 holidays at checkout.

You also find the link in the show notes that automatically applies to discount.

But I'll tell you more about that later.

For now, please enjoy my conversation with Hank Green.

So Hank, I want to get started by asking you, the question I ask all my guests.

Yes.
