The hosts challenge the misconception that hard work is inherently unpleasant and explore ways to make it enjoyable. Guest Ollie Abdul shares his experience of turning his medical career into something fun and creative, emphasizing the importance of breaks and embracing distractions.

It’s easy to assume that the hustle culture or “the grind” is all about pain and suffering. But as you’ll learn today, this simply isn’t true.

In today’s episode, I’m talking to Ali Abdaal, a former medical doctor turned YouTuber and author of the new book, Feel-Good Productivity. Ali has attracted millions of global followers to his ideas on productivity and working because he’s managed to do what others have not: actually make it fun. It turns out that finding ways to make your work fun doesn’t just make you hate your life less, it actually makes you more productive.
