The author of "Die with Zero" said in a podcast that a great book saves lives. Life is about living purposefully, having more experiences and more memories. Ali does help in that way
when he said he has not match the salary of the previous job he left and that this year was probably the year he would come close to it and that it has been five years shows how real the risks are. Often the people interviewed are probably already earning more than their previous job to have someone on the show that has yet to earn way more than their corporate job somehow feels inspiring and the content gives so much insight. It really shows the persons motivation behind the thing he does. Love this podcast!
"The real question to ask is are you feeling this fire in your soul that is telling you there is possibility and wonder to be found in the world. How long are you not going to listen to that voice?" Absolutely incredible insight. Great podcast
I think your decision to leave medicine, in order to pursue the UA-cam career, is actually a noble decision. You might only help a couple hundred people as a physician versus millions online as a self-help creator. Millions value your content. (I’m a 60 year old, grand-father, American, helicopter pilot,3 time divorce, gym shark) Cheers!
I wish, wish, wish I could be all-in the way so many of your other listeners seem to be, I truly do. Like many of them, I am at a crossroads in my life, too. But, I'm afraid the realities of the practical and emotional risks associated with entrepreneurial ventures are being under-emphasized. The loss of a person's life savings and the trust of family and friends are two serious potential outcomes that come to mind. 😕 I wish I could have the blind faith that so many other people seem to have. I am near-desperate to make my way out of my own existential crisis. Thank you for what you and your team do. I am truly grateful. 🙏
I totally agree with Paul. In the hyperactive world, we are in today, money is everything that matters. The world is run on money. You exchange your money for goods and services of your choice, but some people are too shortsighted that all they see is money after getting a job and not realizing that they aren't actually satisfied with the field that they are in.
He's right, the people that say they want to escape 9-5 slavery but fear the unpredictability of income, or outcomes will not make it and just aren't cut out for it. Matter of fact they probably already know this themselves.
It’s tough when you have a partner with shared dreams and goals that will be dramatically effected by the unpredictability. As much as I want to escape the 9-5 life, idk what I would do to do so. What is worth the unpredictability. How can I know it will be worth it if it’s so unpredictable. I actually already gave up a career once for a specific job and I wasted a whole year and the company fell through and now I’m back to square one kinda forced back into this lifestyle for the time being 🙄 So what does not cut out for it mean?🤔
@@yungbootyheadmcgee If you actually want to escape it - find a 9-5 with more flexibility, especially if it can be remote and work on your side hustle and scale it every waking hour that you're not at work until it meets or surpasses your 9-5 income. This can take even up to 3-5 years but when it comes you'll have location and time freedom. But tbh, you already know this but are probably not willing to nor will follow it.
Build your “escape” when you aren’t working your 9-5, so that you can one day leave it for good. Small daily compounding actions. You don’t need to know the full path.
I really enjoyed that. Some serious nuggets to take away and think about. By taking the focus away from the money and putting it on the energy you want to feel REALLY hit me different.
I read your book, and I'm already planning my 9-5 escape, the story resonated with mine very much and talking about the emotions of it made even better!
I think both of you are just ' enough " being able to be" and genuinely just figure it out, as you growing "and be there for the mode of - ,not necessary to be -' it must be certain " its a good vibe to put this into practice
What is the smallest unit of experimentation that I could apply to gather data about this hypothesis that maybe a I could enjoy this lifestyle? Amazing, Ali!
18:00 I believe this fear albeit natural, it's over dramatic, you lose your source of income whatever it may be, but you don't lose your skills, your network, and your knowledge. If you can keep yourself positive about it, your bound to make an epic return.
Hi Ali, thanks for this great topic. I'm really curious what truly motivates you to stay engaged and committed to working as a youtuber for such long? Do you ever feel that after x years you come to realise this is not really what you are after? What do you find changed if any, when you look back at what you thought motivated you initially vs what still motivates you now?
Brilliant conversations in this deep dive! :) I love the idea that Paul brought up about 'basking' in the uncertainty and finding a community that does not question the uncertainty we land ourselves in but rather to share and learn about each other's uncertainties. 😅Also, yes, it matters to dream. :)
I just purchased this book per your recommendation & Im enjoying it so far! I quit my job ( 4 years w/ decent pay & substantial benefits ) but I was not enjoying it anymore- result of burnout and being taken advantage of. This book could not come at a better time in reevaluating what I want and what I want to experience in life. Thank you!
You are both deeply helping so many, all over the planet, in a border-less, boundless, universal way. You’re on *your* authentic Path 🌟 - as I hope I am finally with my performance arts, my true love… Such an important topic on the human condition ! Letting go of deeply rooted, self constraining family / social beliefs (truly hardest part for me 😅). Embracing unknown. Diving in with curiosity, openness. Going for it. !! …Q if anyone is reading this.. would you rather get to the end of your life having lived it entirely not on your terms, with fear, or on your own terms? Authentically. From self love. Just a thought whilst watching. - love & light for all 🙏🏼✨ (clause: this is from a place of still doing the work, prvs hauntingly *continuous* uncertainty, *finally* trusting myself & honouring my inner child at current 😇 …Thank you.
I normally really like all the deep dives but with this one I felt that the guest didn't make a lot of sense, his message seemed confused. It was good that Ali asked for clarification at times but I'm still not sure what the take home message is here
This is a great video, I learn alot watching your videos and it has been helpful to me. The most underrated skill in 2022 is being productive I was able to build a big income stream investing with Mrs Karen Cosmann. You’ve changed my whole life, Thanks so much keep up with the good videos.
I'm assuming Paul does not have a spouse or children. Perhaps he should specify that up front. He could state that his book's target audience is people like himself. I delivered twin babies twenty some years ago and had my husband and I opted out of the excellent health care coverage he received as a scientist so we could have pursued a more meaningful career in the arts.. those babies may not be the healthy young men they are today. What can work for a single person, is not necessarily what will work for a couple or a family. What do you think, Ali?
Honestly if you're paying off a mortgage on something you actually can't afford whether its a house or a car, you'll likely never make it out of 9-5 slavery as you've already chosen your path.
it felt like there was a lot of sponsors plug in this one. A bit annoying I must say. But great conversation, Paul is brilliant. Thanks for the podcast.
Damn yes, I want to change my career path and my mum and sister are talking shit but I know I can be successful in what I want to do rather than what I do now. I more and more don’t care about their opinions.
As a doctor: how do you square the circle of peddling snake oil to your subscribers? Dietary supplements… really? Better medical advice would be guiding us towards a healthy balanced diet and regular active lifestyle. Now that you have achieved some monetary success through this channel you could perhaps consider your sponsors more critically.
I struggle to understand why Mr Ali makes every single episode about himself. First 7 mins and I’m already lost. Each episode turns into therapy session for him.
Hi - I listen to Ali and watch him on youtube and on his podcasts meeting different people - I watch them all - A LOT - and have enjoyed everyone of them so far - and also read all his newsletters and emails. However, I was listening to this episode on Spotify while doing some NEAT at home this evening - and I could not finish the episode - I struggled the first hour - it was all due to the inanely repeatedly used filler word 'LIKE' by Paul Millerd, who obviously is an author!! To me, this was pollutions-level - and not humanly acceptable! I am sorry!
I will forever be indebted to you you've changed my whole life continue to preach about your name for the world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment, thanks so much Mrs. Katherine Foley

I think Ali is saving way more lives in his own way on UA-cam than he would have as a Dr.
I totally agree. Thank you, Ali!!!! T_T
The author of "Die with Zero" said in a podcast that a great book saves lives. Life is about living purposefully, having more experiences and more memories. Ali does help in that way
EXACTLY
100% agree!!

your "silly videos" save more lives than medicine! This is the type of medicine the world needs Ali. Thanks for your content.
Paul, thank you. Almost every part of your story resonates with my own. Subscribing and I’m incredibly excited to read your book
Perfect timing !Currently in a 'painful' career path confusion stage.
His whole path is figuring out you either have to work or sell hopes and dreams
I think your decision to leave medicine, in order to pursue the UA-cam career, is actually a noble decision.

Not sure if youll see this, but perhaps start with something small
I love practical conversations on seemingly large problems. This was so helpful
I think out of all the podcasts I’ve heard so far Ali’s is my absolute favourite!!
I totally agree with Paul. In the hyperactive world, we are in today, money is everything that matters. The world is run on money. You exchange your money for goods and services of your choice, but some people are too shortsighted that all they see is money after getting a job and not realizing that they aren't actually satisfied with the field that they are in.
I remember that podcast with Lewis!! I'm so glad to hear you finally made the leap 💜💜

So what does not cut out for it mean?🤔

I love this guy. I'm definitely buying his book.
I read your book, and I'm already planning my 9-5 escape, the story resonated with mine very much and talking about the emotions of it made even better!
awesome podcast. I have just bough the book...and am about to jump off the default pathway. Love your work Ali
thank you putting into effort for a 1.5hr long video which help me to reflect my life purpose
Omg, I think this channel inspires me. And that's an interesting issue to discuss. Thanks sir..
@DeepDivewithAli I adore you thank you for sharing on your platform. ❤
25:50 I can relate to this totally.
I think both of you are just ' enough " being able to be" and genuinely just figure it out, as you growing "and be there for the mode of - ,not necessary to be -' it must be certain " its a good vibe to put this into practice
This podcast gave me insights about the creator economy and stuffs.. thanks dudes for this wonderful episode 🔥
Really enjoyed the interview. I’m an educator planning to take a career reset in September, I will defo purchase Paul’s book🤔
I fully relate to so much of whats being spoken about in this convo.
What is the smallest unit of experimentation that I could apply to gather data about this hypothesis that maybe a I could enjoy this lifestyle? Amazing, Ali!
Thanks man much much needed !
18:00 I believe this fear albeit natural, it's over dramatic, you lose your source of income whatever it may be, but you don't lose your skills, your network, and your knowledge. If you can keep yourself positive about it, your bound to make an epic return.
Awesome podcast! I have been watching your podcast from the past 6 months and it's just amazing.
Loved his book! So courageous!

Good videos
Living the dream, recording a podcast on a pool table!
However, I believe that going through the default path in the begining shaped the way both of you guys entering the pathless path.
Your intros are 🔥
This is a great video, I learn alot watching your videos and it has been helpful to me. The most underrated skill in 2022 is being productive
I was able to build a big income stream investing with Mrs Karen Cosmann. You’ve changed my whole life, Thanks so much
keep up with the good videos.
I'm surprised you know her too. I've been making a lot of profits investing with her for a few months now.
Mrs Cosmann changed my life because of the high profits I got from investing with her.
You invest with Mrs Cosmann too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
@Tara Coldero You can communicate with her on telegam with the user name below

46:37
Sounds like you might need a Zettelkasten ;)
Who else listens to some of these podcasts just for fun and not actually taking in what is said?
But in so good that they can't ignore you, he says choosing work with passion first approach can be harmful???
How to start freelancing, even if my English is not good
What is going on with the sponsors? How can you have 3 sponsors in one vid? Interesting strategy! :D
Honestly if you're paying off a mortgage on something you actually can't afford whether its a house or a car, you'll likely never make it out of 9-5 slavery as you've already chosen your path.
Please give me one of the 10 copies 🙈
Interview the comedian Ken Jeong he started as a doctor too!
it felt like there was a lot of sponsors plug in this one. A bit annoying I must say. But great conversation, Paul is brilliant. Thanks for the podcast.
It's free, useful information, they gotta get paid somehow!
@@edpereiraphoto I totally agree. I’m all for it
Damn yes, I want to change my career path and my mum and sister are talking shit but I know I can be successful in what I want to do rather than what I do now. I more and more don’t care about their opinions.
