Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal
Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal
Dr Ali Abdaal is the world’s most followed productivity expert and author of 'Feel Good-Productivity' the brand new book that reveals why the secret to productivity isn’t discipline, it’s joy. In his podcast, Deep Dive, Ali sits down with inspiring creators, thinkers, entrepreneurs and high performers to help listeners build lives that they love.
Ali’s a firm believer that happiness isn’t the result of success - in fact, happiness is the key to success in the first place. Ali made this discovery while working as a doctor in a chaotic hospital ward. In the past, hard work had been the answer to every obstacle in his life. But no amount of hard work was going to combat panic and burnout.
So, Ali dedicated himself to figuring out a new approach to productivity - one that focuses on enjoying the journey and working towards truly meaningful goals. Deep Dive, with its authentic and engaging conversations, will give you all the insights you need to do just that.

this podcast is gold! Being an entrepreneur, I am facing all the problems, issues, challenges, blockers, friction and doubts you raised! Thank you for being so open with your business, creating the opportunity for such insightful wisdom to be shared!
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
Angela Lynn Shilling is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I searched for her full name online, found her page, and sent an email to schedule a meeting. Hopefully, she responds soon. Thank you
Why is everything Dickie says soo smooth 😂 Mad speaking envy over here
This was so so valuable, please assist me we at a stage where we need an office space to operate our graphic design and branding business. But we not getting one because of having to apply from the town council and the procedures are long and we lack enough finances for private one. How can we go about it?
This episode shouldn't be free. The amount of value in this is mind blowing and potentially worth millions. I made time to listen to this podcast by listening to it while driving both on my way to work and home. (I dont work 8 hours, I work freakin' 12) I'm going to be breaking this episode down later on and turn it into notes, and then implement from there. Thank you for this one.
1. To me two years ago. Keep asking the specialists for updated information. I work as a cancer genetic counselor and have a family history that puts me at higher risk for breast cancer, myself. I asked a radiologist when I was pregnant what I should do about my high risk screening while pregnant and while breast feeding. She told me to do my mammogram while pregnant, but not to do the breast MRI at that time (that is still the recommendation), but during breast feeding, switch it: do the breast MRI during breast feeding, but not the mammogram. I breast fed for a couple years, so that puts me at 1 screen a year for multiple years instead of the otherwise 2 screens (breast MRI + mammogram every year). I talk to a radiologist just after I finish breast feeding and she tells me that they now recommend doing both the mammogram and breast MRI during breast feeding. I did not develop cancer, BUT my sister developed a stage 4 breast cancer diagnosed 11 months after her last mammogram. She missed her breast MRI that should have been done 5 months before diagnosis. She wasn't due yet for the mammogram... Always keep asking. Always keep questioning. Guidelines are changing every year. This is my motivation for my channel. I would also tell myself to start this channel earlier, as soon as I had the idea (I had an unrelated channel I was working on, but this topic is my passion).
Things I've learned: 1) the process of learning in an academic environment, 2) basic project management, 3) how to code, 4) learning languages efficiently, and 5) moving from one state to another without having any connections in the new state. Things I'm currently or want to learn in the future: 1) building my skills as a pianist, 2) music theory and developing my ear training skills, 3) building a website from the ground up, 4) music composition, and 5) writing a book.
I loved this conversation and did do the exercise. But I wanted to take the space here to say I think it’s impressive how Ali and Dickie can both be so relatable despite being such extraordinary achievers. It made me think, would I still value the advice if Dickie did not work at blackrock and if Ali never became a doctor? And the answer is 100%. This was a masterclass on value creation by covering the past 2 years of learnings. And talking 2 years out too. What I love even more is how Dickie created value through curation when he started even though he could’ve leaned into his Blackrock experience. I’d still love to hear Ali or Dickie expand on this at some point though. For those who may not have the super impressive credential or resume item yet that builds trust instantly, does that impact one’s strategy with how they will go about shipping their work? Thank you again for the amazing insights, this bottleneck analysis made me take it more seriously in my journaling. I had been doing this but it felt like a waste of time until I heard Dickie’s full rationale behind it. Made me go from guilty to proud that I’m spending time on this stuff -Misbah
SUPER DUPER HELPFUL!!!! Thank uuuuu
I just wish you weren’t swearing that much, some of us try to listen to this content while we’re with our kids and I had to stop the video several times for unnecessary vulgar words…
plz bring Dan Koe in the future....I really want to see Dan in Deep dive with you
Biggest takeaway: Curation + Your POV = Engaging content.
Such a fantastic episode, so many take-aways and only 30m in.
I need "Feel Good Parenting" now! I Love Ali's advice and videos, and this interview didn't disappoint. It's really applicable to entrepreneurs. I've worked for myself for the past 15 years, with lots of highs and lows. I've now got two businesses and multiple channels. But becoming a parent is a game changer. It's the most rewarding experience but so challenging when it comes to productivity and time management. How to balance being a present parent and a productive business owner. So intrigued to see how Ali does when he becomes a parent.
1. Summarized my experience as a KZreadr so well... will apply it when I help others in their business. Talk about your unique learning over the last 2 years even if u think it is easy and nothing. Move forward and document the journey. I cannot believe how many emails I get telling me sharing my journey has changed their life and given them confidence moving forward!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)
Things I learned recently: 1. How to be an administrative assistant 2. How to plan a large event 3. New software Things I would like to learn: 1. Coding/programming languages 2. How to produce a better KZread video 3. SEO strategy for my blog
Boom, nice list! Appreciate you watching
By far one of the greatest dating/relationship podcast I have seen. Matthew explains in a level we can all understand and relate to, explains the different stages and how it might just no work with that person. I'm tired of always listening to pseudo experts or coaches saying all the wrong things like: play hard to get and be a challenge, become a b*ch, make that person obsessed, if he isn't, then he not really into you, treat him bad, be with someone who likes you more. Which I understand where they are coming from, but like he explains, if you only fixate or get stuck on a certain level(s), then you will be miserable and it does come true. So glad I found this episode.
I just want to say! I got tons of value from listen to this today! thank you
Thanks for watching and listening Robyn!
Is he talking about visualisation
Bologna
2 years ago, i would not have watched a 2 hour video on youtube.
„Accelerate the brain-breaking.“ Whoa! I love that.
Jirre my bru almost 2 hours😳 eish... I'll be back to finish watching tomorrow lol
Changing carreers is scary but it might lead down a path way more in line with what you actually want in life. Never stop learning and make sure to act on your ideas. Don't be so hard on yourself; you are capable of providing value to the world
I have been working as a sports journalist at the biggest media publishing company in UK since Jan 2023, there is no good books or articles about how to actually get into the industry, what to do and what to know and where to start etc - but I have learnt all this since leaving Uni. Wrote my first article today, Ali, Dickie and Nicolas have inspired me to start sharing my experiences to help others like I needed 2 years ago in my final year of Uni - and I am going to interview already established sports journos to get their insights and use that as content for substack.
Boom, great stuff Ethan
@@dickiebush77 thanks so much man 😁
1:39:24 -> The way a family affords (or any non-business owner) to fly business class is points. With the American Express card and smart use of expenses, you can amass enough points to fly business at least once a year - if that's what you want :)
I love this podcast! I feel like the quitting job topic/ question is not spoken about a lot with successful entrepreneur leaders. I will definitely be posting my takeaways and tagging you guys. Thank you!.
Thanks for watching and listening!
@@dickiebush77 I look forward to following more of you both.
A sense of humor is very attractive & dating someone through all the seasons gives you a better perspective. Attraction doesn't have to be just about looks. Kindness & thoughtfulness & follow thru someone who cares is key. I like this conversation.
“Every outcome in your life is 100% your responsibility”. I’m sorry, but this guy needs a public health and behavioural lecture.

TODO: Listen to Jocko’s Psychological Warfare periodically. Leverage is addictive. There isn’t anything new. Information about the outcomes from execution is the new. Get your side hustle to 2x your current income before quitting your job. This keeps you focused on the important. Bottlenecks: “Unless you’re working on the thing that’s limiting everything else, you’re wasting your time.”
My top lessons so far: - You always have more time than you think you have - The world around you is limiting your beliefs - Make content about what you 2 years ago would love to know - What do you want to know in 2 Years? - Learn it and then teach others through your struggle - Watching Netflix etc. will drain your energy more than working on your dream hustle - Apply your personal touch to some advice from e.g. Atomic Habits - Your ideal client should be able to say with 100% certainty **AI won’t replace you but someone using AI will replace you** - 5000 years ago people already said - Get started - Be consistent - Learn from others and curate other models and then make your own - The coolest people are 1 year ahead of you - we have people 2 years behind us - learn from people 1 year ahead
Great summary, thanks for watching and listening!
Your microphones are stupid. They made lavaliere and boom mics for a reason.
Wow what a great and nice guy! He has a tremendous ability to transfer his knowledge, of which he has loads of. Wish he was in Croatia, I'd love to work with him.
I've made it that far but I'm not leaving a comment with the things, sorry. I've scheduled to do it next time when I'm self reflecting. Now I'm doing house chores haha, cheers.
List of things i learned in last two years: 1. Start reading books regularly 2. Test prep 3. Drawing 4. Languages: polish, english, Ukrainian List of things I’d like to do in the next 2 years: 1. 3d modelling 2. Parametric design 3. Architectural Design 4. Writing 5. Social media
Hey Ali, how many copies of your book have you sold?
Excellent podcast Ali. I’m on the same boat, side hustling whilst working. This is the best advices around that topic that I ever had! Video downloaded and to be replayed whenever I lose faith! 😊
Ali you gotta know one thing that re-energizes me is literally listening to a part of your podcast 😅 somehow it’s just a motivation kicker
5 things I learned in 2 years: transitioning from college to job, leadership and how a company works because I worked for an executive coach first job out of college, high performance, personal branding and how to become top level talent
Wow!!! I can’t believe this is free! ❤ Thank you so much!!!
FINALLY, it's almost been more than half a year. I have been waiting for this. It was announced right after Cole's interview, and it seemed like everyone forgot about uploading this totally.
Hope this episode will blow up. Complete gold 🏆🔥
Realised and learnt these: 1. You will become an expert one day but it doesn't have to be today, and that should not stop you from creating or posting content. You grow as you go 2. Most of the content are repurposed and it's from someone else 3. You are the niche as you apply the learning to your journey and document or share it with others who are behind you, or ahead of you 4. Use both Positivity and some scary thoughts about how the future will be if u don't do anything about ur current situation to motivate you to take action 5. Belief and mindset when correct, generates empowering thoughts, puts you in a better emotional state, encourages you to take action, consistent action brings about the dream life eventually
get rich silently.. yeah that's kind of the route I want to go when it comes to my surrounding "community" basically my 1st degree contacts. I tried but then there's always these 2 things that cross my mind. 1. Before careful who you share stuff with and 2. People don't really listen if you're not in that position of authority. So doing your thing in the silence makes sense. Anyway Ali, thank you for these 5 podcasts that you recommended. Def faster than reading the books. But I'm going to now move to audio books, at least while working I can listen.
his journey from a small newsletter to a thriving business is a testament to persistence and strategic growth! 🚀 His advice on transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship resonates deeply-building a solid foundation while maintaining stability is key.
Sorry I cant finish this one. I dont like dickie, he just needs to either have guys own original ideas and knowledge OR he really needs to re format, repackage (or something) someone else's ideas and offer his own unique perspective and in sight. His side of this is directly from Alex Hormozi uploads, way too identical. If its going to be Summary of someone elses ideas, it needs to offer different value than the original offered, imo anyways.... Sorry ☹️
Things I’ve learned 1. Tracking your progress is as important as moving forward. 2. Focus and develop few things rather than having interests in too many things. 3. Do at least somethings everyday is faster even in the short term than you think. 4. Importance of Networking. 5. Think of ROI and don’t be afraid of spending money but spend it smart. Things I want to learn in 2years 1. KZread creation skills. 2. Productivity system(second brain) 3. Clear distinction btw work and life. 4. Habits of learning new things continuously. 5. Coaching skills.
Seems like he’s pretty fear motivated. Just saying.
Business is 100% risk. This is BS
1. Things you have learned in the last two years you wish you could go back and tell your self from two years ago - Most importantly! Don’t be scared to do the thing! Start now and don’t stop! Keep that consistency up cause you’ll wish you kept going! - Keep better track of everything - money / expenses, inventory, procedures, steps you took to learn things, and document the process 2. All the things you want to learn over the next two years - Better systems of how keep everything organized and flowing better in personal and professional life - Learning how to feel like I’m actually accomplishing more in my life and less like life is passing me by - improving my mindset I guess.
