    Bold Statement: Ali said, someone, come to work with him for a couple of months or years, learn skills like a university student, and left for making some good for their own. Never heard someone talk like this. Found another Reason to love you. 😍

    Do what you good at! You are not finishing the book because you are not interested in it. You don’t like writing! You like logic organizing and note taking! That’s the problem with us human beings. Once we discover or strength at something your case productivity and creativity, our ego is taking over and takes the fun out of life by pushing us to get more! Your case write a book which you have no interest in. Use your own advise and analyze why you want to write a book and is it worth becoming a robot (stressing, pushing yourself and making your team feel it too) just like you did when deciding to leave medical school.

Wish I lived in UK so I could join his team and learn from the wealth of knowledge he's willing to share :)

    Ali I don’t know. You just keep walking and acting like you are super busy and you don’t have time to stop but really you are acting are you are busy but have nothing productive to say. Furthermore why do you take an Entourage of people to grocery store so you can act important ? Calm down and act normal You ll entertain your audience even if you are not being productive. Don’t buy these employees loyalty love or friendship You are becoming really bizby the day

    Yeah, so... the "idea talk" with this one was boring and did not actually bring any value to me. You were improvising AF with the talk as much as with your running around the place; made me nauseous there...
    Having said that, leaning on the fcukups is something I would expect from a blogging channel.

      PS Love how making bolognese with leeks hits everybody and yet people ignore that:
      1) you were talking about having spaghetti which is a terrible choice for bolognese,
      2) you actually are using fusilli not spaghetti. XD
      3) there are mushrooms and peppers as well. XDDD
