So, Ali and his expert guests focus on simple, scientifically proven, and actionable steps you can take to make real changes in your life. 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.

Entrepreneurship Masterclass: How to Make $10k - $1M per Month - Daniel Priestley

Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal

08/31/23 • 148 min

Imagine having so many clients, you had to turn them away. This is the foundation of most successful businesses - to have people lining up wanting to buy your product and do business with you. Our guest today, Daniel Priestley, knows how to turn that into a reality. The term Daniel uses to describe this situation is "oversubscribed". Daniel is the founder of Dent Global, a company that operates across four continents, assisting businesses to stand out, scale up and make a positive impact. Daniel's book "Oversubscribed" is one of my most highlighted books and is the playbook I follow when thinking about how to create a business that outstrips your competition. Daniel's also written other insightful books, like 'Entrepreneur Revolution,' 'Key Person of Influence,' and '24 Assets,' each one of them offering insights on how to thrive in the modern business landscape. In this episode we talk about all things entrepreneurship and how to make $10k - $1M per month. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did :)

How To Find Meaning In A Digital World - Kharma Medic

Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal

03/28/22 • 97 min

A lot of the time we can find ourselves on this hamster wheel of trying to optimise every waking hour of our days, hyper-focused on time and paranoid about how the decisions we make today will influence our future selves. But ultimately the hamster wheel just keeps on spinning when we don’t take a moment to slow down, reflect and enjoy the moment.

Nasir Kharma is a medical student King’s College London, best known for his YouTube Channel, Kharma Medic, where he talks about studying, productivity and what it’s like being a med student. In the conversation we chat about how he started his channel and began to play the YouTube game, how his time in therapy has shifted his thinking around time management and how we’ve been thinking about what it means to live a meaningful life recently.

How to Become a Digital Nomad - Lauren Razavi

Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal

06/30/22 • 101 min

If you could take off tomorrow and work from anywhere in the world, would you do it? Most of us would probably hesitate over that question, even the 20-something-year-olds like me who are relatively unencumbered, but it’s pretty safe to say that globetrotting with your laptop under your arm is the future of work and has been for a very long time.

I’ve been dabbling with the idea of becoming a digital nomad since I first read The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss in 2017, but the question remains how do you actually become a digital nomad in 2022? In this episode I sit down for a chat with digital nomad and author of Global Natives, Lauren Razavi. We talk about a bunch of practical and actionable tips for how to become a digital nomad, some of the history behind the movement, ethical implications of nomadism and Lauren’s mission to try and build a country on the internet.

Steven Bartlett: 9 Secret Habits of a Multi-Million Dollar Entrepreneur - Diary of a CEO

Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal

09/07/23 • 106 min

There's a lot of things human beings crave in life - happiness, knowledge, status, wealth, abundance - and most of us embark on seeking out this relentless pursuit of success without really knowing how to juggle all of our aspirations and goals in life. But what if I told you that there's a way to achieve all of these things and have them exist in harmony, no matter who you are, or where you start out in life? Today I'm joined by the genius mind who has done just that and is inspiring so many others to unlock their potential too. Steven Bartlett is one of the most brilliant entrepreneurs of our time, a best-selling author, investor and truly engaging speaker. As the founder of Social Chain and a number of other wildly successful companies he's reshaped digital marketing. He was the youngest ever Dragon on Dragons’ Den, and he's the host of the No.1 podcast Diary of a CEO. In the conversation we talk about his incredible backstory of how he went from a university drop out to a multimillion dollar entrepreneur and the fundamental principles he's learned along the way that have contributed to his success and are detailed in his new life-changing book 'Diary of a CEO - The 33 Laws of Business and Life'. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did :)
