Summary

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson speaks with the CEO of QOL Medical, Derick Cooper. They discuss how immunological systems confront pathogens and store information, the trait most associated with entrepreneurial success, the complicated patterns of behavior that scale from cellular interaction to metaphysics, and how a spirit of reciprocity can be utilized to uplift the individual as well as the community, society, and upward. Derick Cooper is the Chief Executive Officer of QOL Medical, LLC, a large, private specialty biopharmaceutical company that makes drugs and biologics for rare diseases. QOL is a commercial stage company founded in 2003 with fully integrated capabilities ranging from sales and marketing to drug development to bioprocess-based manufacturing. Prior to 2010, Cooper spent 16 years in investment banking, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital, corporate finance, and operations with The Robinson-Humphrey Company in Atlanta, as a portfolio manager with Sirrom Capital, formerly the largest mezzanine lender in the US, and with CooperSmith, formerly the largest independent baked foods company in the US. - Links - 2024 tour details can be found here https://jordanbpeterson.com/events Peterson Academy https://petersonacademy.com/ For Derick Cooper: On X https://twitter.com/derick_cooper5 QOL Medical website www.qolmed.com

The Hello everyone. Today I have the opportunity to speak with Mr Derek Cooper. Derek's the chief executive officer of QOL Medical,
