Thinking about selling your company? 24 founders told us what really happens after the wire hits. — joinhampton.com/exit-report

Ali Abdaal didn’t sell a startup. He didn’t raise money. He didn’t even plan to leave medicine. He just turned himself into the business, and ended up happier, wealthier, and more free than he ever expected.

Here’s what we talk about:

Why Ali says money hasn’t made him more happy, just removed the stuff that made him unhappy
His net worth (between $1M and $10M) and how it breaks down
How a scammed MacBook deal sparked a business that made £1M+
What he learned after hitting $6M/year in revenue, and why he stopped trying to scale further
How flying business class and skipping trash day became his personal luxuries
Why “$100M in the bank” wouldn’t change how he spends his time
How coaching, meditation, and philosophy reshaped his relationship with money
The moment Lewis Howes helped him break his identity as a doctor
His rule of thumb: “Freedom comes from leaving money on the table”
Why he's building software to reduce his dependence on content
His real goal: $2M/year profit so he can work when he wants, on what he wants
