Summary

In today’s episode, I revisit one of our most popular episodes EVER.

I talk to Ali Abdaal - a UK-based Youtuber who grew his channel to over 4.2 million subscribers in 5 years WHILE being a full-time doctor. We recorded an interview back in June 2021 where I detailed exactly how he was able to pull this off, so make sure to check it out if you’re interested in growing your audience while working a full-time job.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn about how to identify and refocus your energy on the things that matter most, you’ll love this episode.

You’ll enjoy 3 BIG things from this conversation:

- Why Ali set up an email account to find his future wife

- How to find purpose and meaning

- The difference between Type 1 & Type 2 fun

Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.


Also, if you want to launch your own business but don’t know where to start, I reopened my course Monthly1K for just $10. It’s helped thousands of people start their business journey and I know it will help you, too. Head over to OkDork.com/Monthly1K and sign up.

And if you enjoy listening to the podcast, I would really appreciate it if you left a review on iTunes and Spotify to help more people find out about it. I might shout you out in the next episode!
