Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal

NOTE

The Dangers of Constant Comparison in Podcasting

The constant comparison in podcasting can lead to a negative spiral of self-doubt and anxiety. Metrics like engagement and subscribers make it easy to compare oneself to others, but behind the numbers, there may be unethical practices like buying downloads or using click farms. Not everyone who seems to be doing better is cheating, but some are. It is crucial to remember that success often comes at a cost, like sacrificing work-life balance or personal relationships. Trading one area of life for someone else's success means trading one's entire life, as nobody can be all successful individuals combined. Grasping for various aspects of different successful people's lives is unrealistic and can lead to misery. Achieving great success often requires dedicating one's entire life to that pursuit.
