I'm a bit confused. Perhaps its the editing and of course it's difficult to get all the details compared to writing a book which can take a long time and several edits to finalise. But, you speak here about productivity and not spending too much time on YT etc... and several other things, but literally in the first few chapters of your book you talk about that you were just work work work work... 🤔 I feel like there's a lot of conflicting information between what you say here and your book and that's a bit disappointing...

Yep. A Tinpot Tim Ferriss. And the way he speaks in this about money, his numbers, and dropping in things like having a PT at the gym when T talks about going to the gym. Walking definition of Avarice. That used to be frowned upon, rather than fawned over.

I might just skip to hear the questions on this one, never heard of this guy but he seems like a utube grifter course seller type.

Looking forward to Ali's next book: 'The 5 Minute Doctor' Appreciate you want to grow your audience, but please stick with experts and serious people on your pod, rather than people selling online courses.

@@sciencefliestothemoon2305 I don’t actually believe that trickle down economics works.

How policy and the government choose to distribute and use that taxation system is a different discussion.

Possibly the most underrated comment?! Appreciate it bro!

That entrepreneur vs lawyer narrative seemed disingenuous. Realistically, Alis success has a huge element of luck. Its not as reproducible as he makes it seem, theres probably a thousand of him on this platform struggling to get views. But a lawyer will generally always have work, its a stable career and at the top u earn bucket loads without the added stress of the business falling apart.

Good podcast. I hate to say it but i always felt ali has luck on his side. He said something like on his 44th video he blew up and if he quit on His 43rd he would of failed something along those lines. Well i see so many channels with top content who get no luck from The YT algorithm and they go nowhere. I myself have a channel im on my 450th video now ive had videos with 60-80k views then ive replicated those video and get 2k views. Some people get luck on YT and others dont get the luck luke Ali did. Alis channel blowing up kick started all his othet projects. I congratulate ali of course hes on a good run and milking it now and set for life. My point is he says dont give up etc but he got the rub of the green with his channel its not the same for everyone. Im still grinding and will keep going 1k+ videos i just hope i get some luck. (This is my personal YT account btw)

I knew I liked you Damo! RuneScape was the bomb!

Hard one for me to judge - no doubting Ali's success, but it's almost an insult to suggest "oh its just that easy because I managed it". Cambridge has like 200 places for med students a year - so already thats 200 from nearly 30,000 applicants a year, from 275,000 a level students each year.....he's already in the top 1% of the 1%. I love a can do attitude, but Ali is either extremely lucky, intelligent or both (and you certainly need both to succeed in many cases). So, credit to him for absolutely smashing it, but dont insult the rest of us by talking about it like it's no harder than getting up in the morning. EDIT: Also, I work in the NHS so I'm extremely biased towards it, but even I'm getting fed up of hearing £14 an hour for junior doctors. This completely ignores unsociable hour working, overtime etc etc - it makes doctors appear less paid than a warehouse operative and it just flat out isnt true.

Well the point is that a junior doctor have had a 26% pay cut since 2010, that is a very abstract point, so saying £14 an hour makes it clear that it is not what you'd expect for what a junior doctor does. And junior is misleading as well, as it includes people with a lot of experience.

@JoeHardacre

@@Alex-cw3rz no it really doesn't. The figure he's quoting is based on a first year foundation doctor starting at around £30000 before any unsociable hours or overtime. The salary increases every year and those with 7+ years are earning 2.5-3x what a junior doctor makes.

@@Alex-cw3rz clearly I was referring to a first year junior as that has been my reference point. £14 an hour has been plastered around the junior doctor's strikes and has already been debunked by fact checkers....

Back in the day I smashed it out with my friends on the PC! Great times! One day I will have a games room/giant den with Mario Kart, Goldeneye, Counterstrike, COD zombies and all the classics.. for my son obviously not for me... 🤥😉

I completely agree that working less can make you more efficient. The best mark that I got on an essay at uni was the one that I spent the least time on, one week, 9-5 each day. Didn't have time to faff about. Now with my business, I find that I'm most efficient when I put a timer on with set objectives that need to be done for that day. I'm usually done within a few hours for the day but before I started using this method, I'd get the same amount of work done but over a regular 8 hour day. All of my processes were improved meaning that I actually made more money in less time. Then you have more time for fun and leisure in the afternoons.

Forwarded this to an experienced doctor. They immediately said, glad hes no longer a doctor, he'd be infuriating to work with 🙈 And, maybe those methods work for passing psychology, but not the medicine degree. You need to know the content AND have people skills.

He said himself he wanted to make money online, that always seemed to be his overarching goal in life. I don't think medicine was ever going to work out for him, doing medicine for financial reasons usually doesn't result in a good and caring doctor. I know when i was a house officer i didn't have time to do a number 2, never mind sit and jot down ideas for a YT channel. He's very lucky his channel worked out for him

LMAO Damo, you caught me on the turbo trainer this morning!

Not sure I agree with a lot of this. You can tell Damien puts a lot of work into his videos, all the research has a big impact. I think there is difference here between outsourcing by having 13 people working for you and putting your own hard work in. Also sorry Ali you are obviously extremely intelligent and a fantastic entropnenur, but I would not trust you as a doctor sorry 😬not focused on the job!

Thanks for this! I have always put a lot of time into a video I am glad you think it shows. I think a large part of the success I have had is because of this and it is not something I will be changing. Still very interesting to hear that some as successful as Ali can do it on so few hours.

ohhh this is a weird one, i really dont like the guy - very little to no real value. Initially perhaps his content was bettefor a certain audience hence he grew so much, but now he is on momentum with no value. His book is of no value too, no new ideas just recycled scrapbook
