Fakeness, Wives & Competition - Q&A with my boss
We finally took the time to sit down and film a video for our channels together - here's me answering your questions with @aliabdaal - this is a VERY rambly one, you've been warned, there's almost no cuts involved in this.
PLEASE let me know: is the fluff something I should add more of in my videos?

It genuinely broke my heart when Ali said the thing he hates about Elizabeth was that he feels inadequate because of the energy that she brings into a room
9:46 "When you are having fun productivity takes care of itself." This is my new favourite quote.
Love Sheen in the background not letting Ali skip a hard question!
So here's what I see in this vid. Someone who has moved on and is completely honest with the highs and lows of the work she did. With someone who still struggles with the business setup, misses the other person, has conflicted views on the current scenario but he knows he made the right call at that time.

So much wisdom from Ali. He’s spot on with leaving in your depth vs. editing it out Liz. Show us all of the layers of who you are. Keeping it real as you are here is so attractive! You’re gorgeous, brilliant, emotionally tuned in and so darn likable!! I can see why Ali is frustrated and a bit intimidated. He SEES your full depth and potential. He knows you’ll surpass him and legitimately feels it but you don’t seem to believe him. He respects and admires you but also sees that you’re censoring out some of the best aspects of who you are. I’d listen and I’d honestly be flattered. No idea what’s happening behind the scenes but that’s what I detect.

The fact that Elizabeth decided to make this video pure , as Ali said without cutting out extra bits of it that could have been cut out 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I love how deeply Ali thinks about his responses
i didnt plan to watch the whole thing but i found it somehow very relaxing and watched till the end. I feel like you didn't edit it that much so it feels as a natural conversation. very refreshing 😌
Elisabeth - can't wait to see your Sleep video. Ali - up to half way I was really surprised how you seem put off, until the answer came that is your resting pose. Ali really animates only when he's talking. Not a bad thing, just hard to see when usually in videos so smiley animated. Learnt so much from this video. Thank you both (and off camera audience 😆)
I loved the end part, the candid conversation when the both of you were engaging and being honest 💚
Might be just me but Ali seems reserved/serious with less eye contact etc during this video, but on Ali’s video he’s more animated and comfortable 🤷🏽♂️

I think Ali is so proud of you, and likes to see you growing. It is so lovely to see a a motivating and nurturing mentor/boss and employee relationship. I also Think your an amazing employee and soaks up everything around you.
So funny you were saying "this cant go in the video" but the bonus question was THE BEST past of this!!! The most real, most authentic and most interesting
I really like your vibes together and the way you improve each other, it shows through the screen !! Loved this
Damn!! This girl is on a mission of hearting every single nice comment❤
Aw oh my goodness, something seems off about him and I never saw this version of him in my life. I feel he might benefit from a little break from everything, I'm sure he can with the amount of success he's built. He seems to be quite intelligent but also can be draining to navigate all of life like that. Unsure if he's insecure with you, or just overall seems a bit sad. You're super genuine though, love the videos

@jezabeltokio: Yep, being stuck in front of a KZread camera would certainly be intimidating with more than a million people watching YOU!
Ngl, I love these Q&A sessions because they reveal more relatables side of both of you
I really liked your answer on toxic productivity and the 10 hour study with me, you gave me a new perspective.
I subscribed because of the extra content. Deal with this daily as a manager and it’s good to see I’m not alone in this.
love the team and genuine openess, the experience that you guys have shared is so real and uncanny. great video.
Sounds like Ali needs an HR Manager who can sit with everyone, write the job descriptions, run the hiring process and help with finding any temp help on a project basis. :D Loved the interviews on both channels. Quite insightful behind the machine.
It's sad to hear that you have cried because of some of the negative comments others have commented on your channel. The two of you are far more successful and in control of your lives to give these trolls any power over your emotions. Keep up the great work!
We want more videos like thissss!!!! Just you two talking. This is so wholesome
To the toxic productivity - I think this stems from the fact that some viewers think a channel’s content is representative of a creator’s life. The analogy here for me would be to talk about ‘toxic weathermanship’ because the weather people only talk about weather on screen. The productivity KZreadr is not more obsessed with productivity than the cooking KZreadr is obsessed with food or the fitness KZreadr with fitness. It’s the focus of a job, which ofc hopefully people are passionate about, but it tells us nothing about what else they are passionate aside from that one thing we see.

Congratulation to Elizabeth with her channel. She has grown very fast with her channel and I think her channel will only get better and bigger. Ali is great and his channel is an example. I enjoyed this Q&A video and good luck to both.
tbh, this is one of the best videos on your channel because of how minimal cuts you have done. I actually loved the "fluff" parts because it feels more honest and authentic.

I love how thoughtful are you Elizabeth
We need honesty like this. Two separate personalities, two separate cultures --- same passion with different drives. i'd say never doubt this one. KZread is starving of healthy, constructive dissodence. That's all. Way to go. (BTW - never knew you both were connected)
Got the feeling that Ali's hiding something. Not saying that he should say anything about it. Edit: I agree with Ali on leaving the "uglier" bits in.
That "resting board face "bit was really funny 🤣🤣haha just thought he was genuinely board!Ali could easily get missunderstood 🤣

Can't wait to comment on the upcoming marriage inbox video how you should shut the whole thing down and try work out the chemistry between the both of you. It's showing and it's CUTE!
Talking about the editing skills - your video looks more friendly and better "color graded"? :D Love the Q&A between you, very good chemistry :)

Lots of good stuff in this video, but my takeaway is laughing at the thought of Ali jamming to Driver’s License over and over and over again hahahahahahahaha
Wow this was good, and also the other videos, they are also informative, also surprisingly they have a kind of calming effect, maybe because you are so honest in your videos. Keep up the great content.

“I don’t have money so I have to get these multiple jobs to cover my rent” and stuff.. wow! Elizabeth can you do an ethnicity tag and talk about your personal background and how you grew up. It sounds sad but it will resonate with many.. who came from similar backgrounds. Interested! I must say.
Loving this video ... I am able to relate the conversation to lot of different emotional state like in office culture....you both are so different in style in terms of productivity and it's great to have different perspective of two different ppl really trying to understand each other...though I wish to be like Ali in terms of productivity, I also feel burnout and therefore could totally relate to Elizabeth....
