00:00:00 — His Tuesday as a doctor and his Tuesday now as an entrepreneur

  • ★★ When he worked full time as a doctor, Ali woke at about seven on a Tuesday, drove an hour to work, worked from around 8 am to about 6 pm, then had about two hours for his side business before bed. — 00:00:00
  • ★★ Ali now wakes around 8 am, spends the first two hours with his wife and daughter over a family breakfast and a walk with his daughter, and goes to the office with his team at 10. — 00:00:00 · Izzy Sealey
  • ★★ On Tuesday mornings Ali usually works with Owen, one of his team members, creating curriculum content for the online business school they run. — 00:00:29 · Lifestyle Business Academy

  • ★ Ali usually finishes work by 7 pm, has a family dinner, and on Tuesdays is in charge of his baby daughter's bedtime, reading to her. — 00:00:29

00:00:58 — A different style of work; fulfilment from teaching

  • ★ Ali says that in medicine you are actually saving lives, while in his entrepreneur's work he no longer deals with life and death every day. — 00:00:58
  • ★★★ Ali says what fulfilled him was teaching, through videos, online and in-person workshops or writing a book, and that realising this led him to a life he could not have dreamed of a few years ago. — 00:00:58
