Rate ShowA radical kind of productivity
I’m 15, and I’ve been following Ali Abdaal’s content for the past three years. It’s been such a refreshing and, honestly, life-shaping experience. In a world where productivity often feels like a race—where hustling harder and sacrificing more are treated as the ultimate virtues—we rarely pause to ask: Is this really worth it?
Ali offers a different perspective. He reminds us that productivity isn’t just about ticking boxes or chasing the next achievement; it’s about finding joy and meaning in the work itself. That deeper sense of purpose really resonated with me—even as a Christian—because it aligns with my own belief that life isn’t just about doing more, but about doing what truly matters.
If you’re looking to improve your life, achieve more, and actually enjoy the journey, this podcast is a fantastic place to start. I can’t recommend Ali’s work enough.

Feel good and productivity
Ali makes all those words “feel good” and “productivity” look so good together. I have recently discovered this podcast and I look forward to the next episodes on my morning walks. Whether it’s the topics, realistic call to action or Ali’s choice of words while sharing his stories, I am always all ears about it.

Overall brilliant but needs more female guests and perspectives
I’ve been a fan of Ali since he started and find his inquisitive nature both thoughtful and inspiring. Although there are occasions where he appears to be ageist since he found success early. For example it’s not true that you won’t be hired in your 30’s and 40’s as this is a requisite for nearly all leadership roles. Also the majority of successful founders are 40+. Lastly the narrative of having kids early is not true, women are increasingly having healthy children later in life after dedicating their 20’s and 30’s to a successful career - it would be good to explore this and you other topics with more female guests. This is still one of my favourite podcasts and I look forward to Ali exploring some varied perspectives on certain topics for more inclusivity:))

Ali
I’m totally enjoying the genuine conversations you have with some of your most recent guests. I think that the shift that you had in your podcast from educating to actually having real conversations where you personally have vested curiosity have so much more value! Thank you!

Podcast for serious learners.
I’ve listened to a number of podcasts to get information on becoming a better entrepreneur. This is the first podcast that’s felt like information and not just entertainment. The episodes are long because they have to be. (Hit that 1.5x) It’s worth listening all the way through.
Thank you Ali for sharing valuable, practical information with us. I’ll be a guest on this podcast someday soon.

Always good but improving over time
The Pod is already great, but the current shift to focusing more on Ali’s own interests is even better. This is because Ali is even more invested and genuinely interested in the things and interviews with even more passion.

More engaging than a 2hr movie
New to Deep Dive and I found Ali’s communication style to be extremely engaging and gripping. He has an intuitive sense of where to steer the conversation, when to pull back and allow the speaker to express, when to interject with thought provoking questions. 2hrs is a bit long for me for podcasts but because of the brilliant guests and Ali’s conversational style interviewing…I found the time fly by!

Insightful, vulnerable and so engaging
I feel like I’ve joined the Abi Abdaal fan club a bit late but how lucky am I - that I can binge years of awesome content. Love the deep dives- topic choices are excellent and love how Ali lets us in.

Big Fan
I’ve been watching Ali since his days at Cambridge giving study advice and iPad Pro tutorials. I love this channel and it is everything I hoped it to be. I just listened to the episode with Tintin his YouTube Producer and I found another way to identify with this podcast. The employer/employee dynamic is so interesting and I loved how Ali asked some hard questions and was so open to the feed back. I think the audience would get so much value from more interviews with Tintin and other employees and how Ali juggles being their friend and boss. I think a lot of us do not have a template for what a good, healthy, thriving supervisor/employee relationship should look like. Thanks for all you and your team do.

What a gem Ali Adbaal is!
I cannot say enough about Ali Abdaal! I found him on YouTube a few days and I have watched him every single day at work, since!!! I feel like I know him already.
So, when I found his Podcast… that was it… ready to get him tattooed on me. No, I’m kidding, but really!! Such an inspiration and has truly made me look at my life differently. I never thought I’d be able to leave my current job and still haven’t yet, because I’m just getting started… but I believe his encouragement and words of wisdom will lead me in the right direction into making better choices in my life to make Korin happy. I now believe in myself and literally didn’t believe in myself before Ali!

Ali is a fabulous find
I’m not a YouTube person so I’m late to the party; found Ali via Mark Manson’s podcast and bought his book straight away. Loving this podcast series & already learned so much. Thanks for sharing with such openness and generosity!

Brilliant
The best podcast to listen to for personal and business growth which applies to the UK audience as well and this is super helpful.
The episode with Robin Waite was the best episode ever for me but the whole season 6 was amazing. Thanks Ali. Keep up the brilliant work. Hope to meet you someday.
