The hardest part about directing your career towards what you enjoy is discovering what you actually enjoy. This is even more difficult for someone 16-18 who has minimal expeerince to draw on.
So true
me
You are young so try as many things as you can, especially if it interests you. I'm 28 and I had over 5 jobs until I found what I enjoyed and was good at. This notion that you have to find one thing you will do until you die is ridiculous and also elitist.
yes that's what i click into this video for
going through this rn
am i the only one whos had career stress since i was like 9
Nope I had a conversation with a friend about this yesterday and I’m 25 still having this problem
think it started at 12
Yep, and I am coming on 27 years old and I'm still not certain what I want to do.
My career stress started around age 15. Decades later, it has not subsided.
You shouldn't have any career pressure at that age.
99% of people think they need to find the right career FIELD In reality, you should look for QUALITIES of work you enjoy: - Buliding VS Maintaining - Recognition VS behind-the-scenes - Solitary VS Social Find the work with the right qualities and you'll love the work you do. ~Thomas Frank
very true
Loved the video! I found it so inspiring to start auditing my time and this also made me understand the importance of consistency paired with long term vision. Btw I make videos to help this upcoming generation learn and develop fundamental and life changing wisdom! Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance
What is an example of building vs maintaining?
So spot on!
Gonna remember this when I get some vacation time to reconsider some life choices...
Bro speaks in 1.25x
I thought it was just me. Had to double check my playback speed 😂
@@runningdevil me too
It adds to the stress
...And if you have Adhd like me and looking back you wanted to be everything! An astronaut, astronomer, computer scientist, computer programmer, make up artist for TV, actor, psychologist,teacher, architect, doctor, entrepreneur, health promotion, sales person, fashion designer, TV lighting technician, traveller, presenter, radio DJ, owner of amusement park, wildlife expert and the list goes on and on etc etc etc😂😂😂
Ohmyghad SAME HAHAHAHA
Lollllll sameee
I think I have to test myself for ADHD 😌
Omg saaammee I’ve changed my major like 4 times 😂
$@mee lol
90 minutes a week is how much time I tell my beginner piano students to practice. That’s a great benchmark and good to know it applies elsewhere in life!
More teachers need to do this. My teacher insisted I do half an hour of scales every night before even playing any music. Such an archaic way of teaching that basically encourages kids to quit
For those reading this, don't forget about the courage and the faith that IT WILL WORK OUT. Or maybe it doesn't even have to work out. You only have to try. Have faith that what you like can be rewarded.
Thank you, important choice of words
Instead of worrying it's more important to have hope
3 months ago I left my high paying job, moved my family to Mexico, and now what I do all day is pursuing my dream career - to create video. It's scary, but exciting!
Congratulations on following your dream! 👏🏽
Congratulations! Wish you and your family the best 🙏
I hope for your success. But remember what Cal said about following your passion.
@Giga Chad Thank you!! 🙏
@@PokhrajRoy. 🙏
I'm currently in the career I thought I always wanted. Spent my entire childhood and young adult years focused on getting here. Ten years in and things have changed so much that I now dread going to work every day. It's terrifying to need to leave it because I have a good income with good benefits but I feel myself slowly dying inside.
Take a U turn! You’ll do great!!
and whats the career ur doing?
i was feeling exactly the same after working in a job that i dont enjoy at all for almost 4 years. everyone was saying especially my parents that i shouldn't leave this job because the wage was good. it's like just existing but not living your life.
That was me going into healthcare. Besides time and money, I'd invested so much emotional energy into becoming that person, that I resisted leaving after it was clear it wasn't the right path for me and I was totally miserable! It took Covid for me to finally be able to leave.
@@TheKnellBelleI’m in healthcare right now and trying to find my escape. The money is good, and I live comfortable, but I just want to do something else. I’m currently learning web development in hopes to someday make money doing it.
Also, if you enjoy something but you know it may not be a profitable or practical career, you can pick it up as a hobby or side hustle. That way, your hobbies aren't tainted by the pressures of a job either
I literally had this realization last night and felt so much pressure taken off that I could think so much clearer 😅
100% agree with this as someone who's worked in the creative field for almost 3 years and thinking of a career switch. The panic of 'wasting' my arts degree and multiple diplomas in different art and creative sectors terrified me. But as you've mentioned to make them my hobby, that way I can fully enjoy it without the pressure of making it my work and growing tired of it has been my saving grace and made me less nervous of starting a career change. (Especially coming from someone who wants to do EVERYTHING 😂)
It's funny bc it has always been the opposite for me. If I do my hobbies with no plan on turning them into a habit, it's like I enjoy them less bc I dont make them stick. And taking a job I dont like seems utterly impossible. So doing my hobbies with the intention to work on them really is what gives me the discipline to even pursue them at times. It's all or nothing for me. Either I get to do with at all times and get better, or it seems kind of hollow to show up for things in a dovided way, where my hobbies dont grow bc I take more time for other things, and those same things domt seem to have a point for me
I really needed this! I went to college and had no idea what I wanted to major in. I changed my major a few times and ended up sticking with communications because it was versatile. Jobs I was interested in at that time were journalism and social media marketing. I ended up doing internships for both and ended up not really enjoying those certain career paths. After graduating I felt lost and was thinking a lot about jobs that interest me and I would research about them to see if they were jobs that I would actually enjoy doing. Most of the time I would search up videos on KZhead like “day in the life as (job title)” and would see the tasks that they would do and if I would be happy doing them. Right now I’m at the point where I’m really lost and have no idea what I want to do. Every time I try to imagine myself in a career, my mind would just go blank. I’m going to try out these tips and hopefully it can lead me to something as I still have hope! ☺️
Lollll I am considering going to school for "Digital Arts" as well, encompassing writing graphic design and web design. Seems like it could be liberating creatively and perhaps lucrative. But I have no idea if I will actually want to do it?! I've dropped out of college 3 or 4 times. 28 now. I know what my dream job is. But it costs money to get there and also, don't even know what type of mundane job I can get to support that let alone one that pays enough to support myself anyway whilst providing enough mental stability and engagement
@@McMilesE that seems like a great career path! What I did when I was thinking of careers that required me to go back to school was I always researched what the major offers, what type of jobs you can get out of the major, what are the tasks that you would e doing for those jobs, how much is the salary for those jobs, and is there a growth in jobs. Most of the time I would also look at Indeed and LinkedIn and search for the jobs related to the major and see the job postings. Going back to school is a lot of money and time so I would research everything I can possible. If it is something that you feel in your heart that you want to do and can imagine yourself doing a particular job then maybe you should consider going to school. ☺️
Your intended career may not be giving you lots of money from the onset, But if you focus fully on it relentlessly, you will get absolutely everything from it; money, impact, fulfillment, satisfaction and mind-blowing connections with people who will value your career path🔥

Love this comment!
Thank you❤
Well. I think most researchers disagree wiyh this, sadly
@@paulaestevez4483 doesn't matter what researchers say. It only matters what you say and what happens.
2 months ago, I dropped out of Engineering College. Now, I am just focusing on the things that I love, making videos and singing. Sometimes, It's worrying but very exciting
And now? 8 months later.
I am doing really well. I have 3-4 regular clients for video editing and earning a decent living. Still, making my own videos and learning to sing too.
living in the present moment is precious
I just want to tell you that you made the right choice and I’m proud of you. I did the opposite thing chasing what makes money instead of what I love and I regret it.
@@IMDavid25glad to see that! 🎉
"It's OK to change your mind!"
The vibe. The vibe is what's most important. -I've worked HR in the insurance industry. -HR at a medical practice -HR anslyst in the HR IT industry - Business analyst for public health -Scrum Master for pharma The biggest factor of how well I enjoyed my job was the joy and vibe of the culture. The skill - I can adapt to. Consistently crappy people, I can not. Migrating from 20 years HR, namely in smaller( 200-300 ee's) companies to PM /Scrum in a massive org, was a decent shift. There were many ups and downs, but the culture lends heavily to the overall satisfaction of the job. I absolutely love my company ❤️
I am thinking of hr. How is it? Can I earn 6 figures? What is scrum?
Same Question
Is hr not worth It seems intresting to me coz it's pol oriented
HR is very much worth it. I wanted to delve deeper into the IT space, so I pursued a Scrum Master career. Skill gets you 6 figures. Study your craft, find a mentor and keep at it.
@@shesssosavvy994 Thank youu!!;
So true, so important to remember that happiness comes from your everyday and that's what you need to focus on. Also so important to look at the tasks that you want to do to make the decision completely agree. Embracing change is another important one. Great video!
Currently lost with what I really want to do in life, glad that this video came out. Trying to get into content creation but its scary
You've got it! As cliché as it sounds, you just have to start. It will always be scary, but that doesn't mean you can't try. I just recently star,ted and I'm so happy I did. Best of luck. Sounds like you have the perfect resolution for the new year.
Same. I'm lost too. 💀
@@christhornhamThis is a mistake in your thought process, "Perfect resolution for the new year" people shouldn't be waiting for January 1st to start something, for example, it's the end of September now, Start now? Why wait for the new year? If you start now you'll be 3 months ahead of where you would be if you started on 1st of January.
@@Exidose I made this comment when it was the New Year. I didn't say people should wait until the New Year to make a positive change. Instead, I was referencing the fact that it was the New Year when I made the comment. I see how this may be confusing if you read the comment today without looking at the date it was posted.
Exactly where I am right now! I'm thinking of leaving my current job of 5 years and start doing content creation as I enjoy creating. But I think I'm feeling stuck because I don't have the confidence to😢
Discovering a fulfilling career involves focusing on daily tasks, visualizing aspirations, auditing time, skill development, online learning, embracing change, and iterative exploration.
I think as well as understanding the tasks you'd be doing, it's helpful to know what you *need* to thrive in life in general. When I was a teenager I thought that what I really wanted was to spend all my time doing "cool stuff" as a job, and that I'd be super adventurous and travel all over the place. But with more experience, I've realised for me personally, I need a regular routine, a sense of stability and to be able to spend time with people I love. I also used to think I'd enjoy working from home...But I must be one of the rare exceptions, because when I tried it, I found I got so stir-crazy and unmotivated being at my flat all the time! I got into really bad habits too, like starting my work day later and later, because without an external structure I struggled with self-discipline. Unfortunately, I don't think the wild and crazy freelance artist lifestyle I thought I wanted at 17 is something that would actually make me happy!
imagine this feeling that u know that u doing something in the best possible way. U are brilliant Ali, fr u change mindset, such an inspiration for me

Great and inspiring conversation. Looking forward to checking out the full podcast on Deep Dive 👏🏽
This is one of the most practical videos I've watched on career development. Thank you Ali for your great content.
Much needed video, there's no channel like Ali's, the topics of these videos are so useful and I don't see any other creator giving such actionable advice

Literally ❤
This is the first video ive ever seen of yours and wanted to say thank you!! Its not only incredibly helpful but organized in a way i can implement changes 🙏
About to quit vet school at 27 years old after very challenging mental difficulties, and I have had trouble not feeling bad about changing my mind about being a veterinarian, because of all the "title's" shine and the society's point of view. This video really helped me, thank you so much ❤
Im going through something similar do you know what career/degree you will pursue?
I'm going through something similar😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.. I choosed nursing and I .. Idk, I wanted to business and many many many. I don't really know anymore 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 . I have severe anxiety attacks these days, I don't really know which career to choose, im dying literally
Changing your mind is important as no one knows everything and certainty is really that we all will die.
Ali, you may not be a practicing physician, but you are bringing healing, health, and hope into many people's lives. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
This is actually a good start for me and what i was looking for. 28, pretty comfortable but looking for a better direction now. Perfect 👌
Thanks, Ali Abdaal! Your instruction is motivating and helping me to succeed step by step! 🥰
I've watched probably 10 TED talks and other videos searching for this answer but none have resonated as much as yours did. You've brilliantly explained and given tools to both those who know want they want and those who dont know what they want and been so validating at echoing that we change over time. 13 mins a day omg you've made that so manageable. OMG, I cant be thankful enough... I have been struggling for so long with this feeling of emptiness that I no longer want to be in my field that I've spent years studying for but now I dont know what else to do, that I dont have the energy to study at uni again, and just cant figure things out. Did so many career tests, looked through entire job lists, searched for rare jobs or whatever to just try to figure out what resonates with me, what is it that I want to do... Thank you so much.. I'll get going with this exercise.. Once again, hearty thanks :)
Thank you so much. Too many videos I watched generalized and fantasized the whole process of figuring out my goal career but this has really cleared it up for me. To all those thinking about how you want it to go take it like I did. When you workout, you have a dream body or dream strength and you’ll do all you need to do to get there and avoid what keeps you from there. You may not see the results now but there's signs and as long as you're intentional in going towards your interest you’ll reap what you sow. Your future's only in two beings' hands, God first then yourself. Be intentional, work hard and whatever you can't control, God will.❤
I do agree that we should always think of the tasks that we enjoy to understand what our dream job is. But the thing is sometimes you thought you would be doing this if you were in this career, but it turns out that the things that you do are so different from what you envisioned. 😢
Boy do I feel you.. I chose my major as mechanical engineering thinking I would get to design all sorts of mechanisms and work with all sorts of new machines everyday. I do get to explore new mechanisms now and then but not nearly as much as I would have wanted to ..
Agreed, got into education because I loved the kids and something new everyday. Had NO idea I’d mostly be dealing with incompetent admin, disrespect from kids and parents, for no pay (I did know that part from the start though…)
@@clairecool7960are you still in education?
@@rinacco3206 yes, but actively taking steps to get out
Awesome video, Ali. Great point about the Lawyers - I have met very few who are loving life.
This was actually very insightful. I like how u said its about figuring it out and to be patient, and also I’ve felt the minuses in my schedule a lot, which often frustrated me. The 13 minutes a day seems very manageable, thx!
Wow… thank you so much! This is so refreshing and really helpful… need to digest and work on this! Thank you again for sharing 😄
Definitely needed to hear this this morning. Thank you!!

This video came out at the right time for me❤
What hinges you to finding the work you love is your uniqueness. I think we go off with this perception that the title will make us love the career but it’s opposite the purpose makes you love the career and you have to figure out. How can you purposely give back and show up every day. ❤ I encourage you not to put so much pressure on yourself and just be open to what you can be.
Thank you Ali. You are awesome. This video was super useful. ❤️
Thank Ali, your videos have helped me countless time, and always have helped me to find the direction to go...

I appreciate the many doable suggestions you shared for exploring possibilities. Game changer toward finding one's IKIGAI!
the very best video i found on internet about carrer guidance its now very easy to find the way for selecting the carrer
In Personal MBA book the author also notes that you don’t have to get an MBA degree in university to become successful in your business, most of what is taught there, can actually be learned by reading books. And also the interview with professor Lordan seems so interesting.
That should be common sense.
You'll learn more from doing actual business than any classroom
Funny I came across your video today. What you talk about is exactly what I am naturally doing at the moment and what I will keep on doing. :) keep up the good work! Sending love from Belgium.

Hi Ali, you're a wonderful speaker. Ideas have to be easy to digest and entertaining and you do so like a pro. Thank you. I'm reading your book "Feel good productivity" and I wouldn't go for such a "magic pill" title if not for your videos (showing that you're a smart person first of all).
I like the idea of thinking big as this can feel scary at first, breaking it down and taking small steps based on being informed because it is filling in the gaps in our knowledge that allows us to make better career decisions, thanks for sharing.
And what do you do when you have absolutely no idea what you want to do? Where do you start searching ??
Start figuring out what you don't like doing. And I don't mean specific jobs but work situations. For example if you dislike constantly meeting people that you've never seen before, then don't become a medical doctor, sales representative, consultant... That way you can narrow down the choices.
Get some hands on experience in a heap of different fields. And like the other person said you can definitely get rid of what you don’t want to do. Things like high stress jobs, outdoors vs indoors etc. For example I always knew I would despise working solely in an office and that cuts out a heap of potential jobs for me.
I’m struggling with the same thing. I feel like I need some guided questions or something to help me figure this out 🤦🏽♀️
You keep assuming I can experience enjoyment
To be honest, it feels so frustrating where you don’t know where to start searching, where to find answers. I’ve been through that myself, and in the process I found astrology, I just wanted to find an answer for what career, company or job should I look for. So I studied astrology for several years to find an answer, and I got it. It made total sense to me, and now I’m working on making this career vision happen. I must say that, in this process, it was important to let go the ego part that didn’t want to change some old versions of myself but it’s a process. Finding an answer is just the beginning.
Thank you for making this video. Please make more videos on this topic.
Wow this is so timely. I love this! Thank you so much
Love your background in the video. Perfectly calm.
Hey Ali, I love your videos!! I would love to see more vids on careers, investments, money for teens!
Thank you! This would help so many young people who r not sure what they want to do for careers and also give “permission’ for others to change their path. Thank you!💗
Very helpful - I will save this video and still rewatch it with my journal
i was having second thoughts about what i was doing recently. it was not smth that inspired me or what i like to doing. but i paid for education course and and i have to at least try to make it work. but looking in a bigger perspective, i think we all have to step by step create a career that we'll enjoy. thanks for the video. now i have a clearer picture of what i want in future
Ali is the only KZheadr I have to watch on 075 speed lol. Everyone else I watch on 1.25x. That being said Ali I LOVE your stuff! You pack so much good information into 10-15 minute videos and it's majorly appreciated. You're also inspiring me to start my own KZhead channel.
I had to check the playback speed, too. Also, scroll lower so hands are out view.
Hi Ali, Thank you for sharing! I found the information you provided in this video so helpful. It gave me a clearer snapshot of my new career path(s). I listed six careers and their job responsibilities. After looking at it again, two of those I crossed out based on the work tasks I would enjoy doing! One of those, I must say, was so much like what I already do, it was astonishing I didn't see right through it! I guess I would equate this to, dating someone exactly like your ex only to realize later! Yikes! Luckily, I didn't apply to that job or I think I would have been miserbale. My current issue is I have applied for the jobs I want and have updated my resume to fit these skills (which do crossover). I just can't seem to land an interview. I've even gone as far as handing my resume in person to get a better understanding of the hiring process and get a feel for the environment, but still not getting any replies. If you have any feedback on this, would love to hear. Thanks again for helping me ensure I have a clearer path to what I want.
i love your channel and this is the only channel that i watch without going 2X :) love the speed and content
i really loved this concept of 90 minutes a week because I wanted to switch to computer science field and for that I hardly study 30 minutes a day and used to think I'm not giving my all guess I have to start complimenting myself for the efforts i'm putting into that career
Thank you so much for this this is beyond incredible
Great video with some genuinely helpful tips that I hadn’t heard before. Thanks for making this
You don’t even know how much you helped me with this
Hello Ali! It's always a delight to follow your content. I was wondering if you could consider giving us a glimpse behind the scenes with a studio tour. It would be fascinating to see how your team operates and learn about the software you rely on. Such insights could be invaluable for budding creators, helping them enhance the quality of their content and make a positive impact on their audience, much like you've been doing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
As always, great video and production from you, Ali. I've been watching you since you were still in college. It's crazy how much both of us had changed. And thank you for the insight, it's just I still don't know what I genuinely like or what activity I enjoy the most yet. Good luck on your journey🙌
You're great at talking/explaining and great video quality too!
Great video, Ali! Those pen (highlighter) spins really add to the B-rolls 😂 In all seriousness, I often think I get trapped in the Burmuda social media triangle, but your videos add so much value to my life. ++

I really enjoyed this video Ali, the topic was really interesting and well explained! You seem to be really fulfilled in what you are doing and that is really nice to see! I just did a U-turn after connecting the dots (like you mentioned), I went from studying science to studying art and it went exactly as you described. It shows that the video is well prepared and you know what you're talking about! :) Thanks for this video Ali, I can't wait to see the next ones! 🙏

Thank you for this video. I have been a veterinarian for 12 years. I had niggling from the beginning that it wasn’t what I want to do for the rest of my life. Those nigglings got louder and louder in the years. I have reached an impasse and now looking at what careers are out there that would be my home. I’m just at the beginning… thank you for showing me that it can be done!
Career Development has been researching and working with these ideas for many years. She's done a great job incorporating some of the most effective self efficacy building strategies in one place- certainly for a general western context. Will have to check it out.
Ali, please come to Australia to speak. i would pay to see you speak you are such an inspirational person! I am going to buy this book my professor Grace Lordan so thank you for bringing this to light.
Most times strategies works when well applied, In the past I use to have serious phobia for trade because I don't want to lose all my money but I'm very profitable and it has become my best passive income from the first time I bought my house through trade and not salary
Trading without any guide is so risky you need to get a good mentor like willem strategy to guide your trades
he's mostly on Telegrams, using the user name
and He's verified TELEGRAM....

my dad had me think about why my favorite jobs have been my favorite jobs. i realized that i enjoy a team effort, and being able to look at my peers after a hard day’s work and be like: yes, we did that! i enjoy the feeling of accomplishing a goal at the end of each day. i’ve learned i would kind of like being able to visibly see the work that i have done. i’ve learned that project- based tasks are really fun for me. this is all stuff that was the complete opposite of the plan i formulated in high school. i’m so glad i took a few years off to work different jobs and have experiences in different types of work. now that i know what kind of work i enjoy, and have a passion that relates to it, i’m ready to go back to school. all this to say, take some time off of school or slow it down a bit. spend some time in different jobs and learn the type of work you like, then find a career that ties that together with one of your passions.
Very well said 🎉
Thank you this video just made me realize am I going to enjoy my future career
Amazing video, helped me a lot to understand the what I'm going through in my career
Amazing video! Just what I needed
I just needed this video at the right time Thank you
Loved the video! I found it so inspiring to start auditing my time and this also made me understand the importance of consistency paired with long term vision. Btw I make videos to help this upcoming generation learn and develop fundamental and life changing wisdom! Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance
I love that you move your hands all around. I am self-conscious about it.
Damn I needed this video. At a crossroads with my career again. There is a ton of useful information in this
It is interesting how powerful is building an "imaginary great you" works on people. I think that the "Me+" concept looks like the concept mentioned in The Alter Ego Effect book. But I can not confirm that because I am still reading it.

I wish school would teach this rather than push for us to attend college for the sake of it.
Right
exactly dude. i’m 17 years old and school has killed my dreams of anything i have ever wanted be. they don’t teach the important skills in life like how to find careers you like
@@noahpollack5358I am sorry to hear that mate, I feel that
@@lesterlin1424 it’s rough trying to even find part time jobs in this job market right now too
hey ali, another great video from you that helped me figure things out a little bit. thanks xx
Great job!! I like your choice of target audience and how you gave information relevant to athletic performance. Your presentation was very organized and your infographic was very well made. It’s really cool that you were able to share this information within a community that you have.
Better have a plan B and C. I know someone who started his job with 16 and loved it, really enjoyed it. But physical labor. Now at 45 his back is so damaged, that he cannot keep doing his dream job. Never thought about doing anything else, that would be tough on anyone.
Right video at the right time! (Shared with all my fri thx Ali! ) Also I recommend read Think Again by Adam Grant : )
Very useful podcast and very informative. thank you. I am a mom of a teenage son about to start college.....this is great for me and him, for me to guide him and for him to navigate his education.
this video was of 13 minutes of investing in myself, thank you :) Even though i fee l like i will be going into a field i am already so passionate about, i was still able to pocket so many of the ideas in this video to protect myself in the future.
This is super helpful. Thank you

i’m stuck with my career path. Never thought that such uncertainty actually ever affect me.😢
Have you found it now?
Thank you so much this is amazing hoping to read the book I have added it to my book lists
dear brother, its really amazing. i felt really connected as iam hearing from my own brother. so soothing and well explained
Honestly after being MISERABLE at my first 3 professional jobs I just gave up for a while. Transitioned into gigs to survive and make money until I take the plunge again. The pandemic didn't help when it took away all options for life and relationship-building outside of work, leaving only the corporate top-secret dungeon where I would slowly wither away before I left for another company. The other company was the complete opposite - parties, extraversion, life. But that was too much for me, and I hated the actual content of the work.
This is why present education pathways at the moment are actually road blocks instead of being catalysts. It holds you back into institutional thinking instead of actually visualizing, experiencing what it being laid in front of you. Just because the paths of the ones before us have been laid, doesnt mean anyone of us cant move ways. The institutional way of teaching, learning and experiencing lacks the basic power of an indiviual which is to individuate and have great discernment.
Great video Ali, quite helpful.
Your voice is so good man.💜😭
So true & much needed ❤️ Thank you

I just do something I'm good at so I can do it quickly and work less than 8 hrs a day from home. I love that I get paid well for doing something so low effort for me. I have no passion for anything in a "devote your life to it" sort of way, and I don't think everyone has to have that. I like to do tons of different things in short bursts.
Can I ask what you do?
Omgoodnes !!! Thats ALL I had to say about this video, (but its too good I'll continue hehe) This video truly made me find my dream bachelor programe in less than an hour. I tried the gridline example 10:20 and it was very helpfull, Thanks sooo much Ali, Really apreciate!!
Loved this video, I've listened to the podcast, however,, I've enjoyed your presentation and storytelling skill in this content more, tips are really helpful and worth pondering ... Thank You Ali !
