Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal

Hey gang, I have something a bit different to share with you this week. Joe Hudson is an executive coach who works with some of the world’s top leaders, thinkers, and organisations. But, before he got into coaching he was a venture capitalist and philanthropist with a super wide ranging career - so he comes to coaching with years of experience. This is my very own coaching call with Joe - we talk about personal growth and development, the fears and anxieties which can hold us back, and how to really feel our feelings. I really hope you enjoy and let me know what you think about this video format!

This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! Chapter 4 is all about what I call 'The Unblock Method' - my way of getting over the barriers which cause procrastination. Procrastination can be a really difficult problem to beat. It can leave us feeling frustrated, anxious, and angry with ourselves. A lot of people think the key to overcoming it is to simply push through and draw on discipline and motivation - but this isn't reliable, and can do more harm than good. Instead, the unblock method gets to the heart of why we procrastinate, so we can deal with it at its root cause. We'll be releasing more of these chapters week by week, so stay tuned and enjoy :) 📚CHECK OUT MY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BOOK FEEL-GOOD PRODUCTIVITY 👉AmazonWebsite 🔗 CONNECT WITH ALI📲 Join My Telegram Community🎥 YouTube Channel🐦 Twitter  📸 Instagram  💻 Website👥 Linkedin📄SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPTVisit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://aliabdaal.com/podcast/🎙 ABOUT THE PODCASTDeep Dive is the podcast that delves into the minds of entrepreneurs, creators and other inspiring people to uncover the philosophies, strategies and tools that help us live happier, healthier and more productive lives.Want to start your own podcast?

In today's episode, we're going to be hearing from a group of relationship experts to find out about how we can make our love lives more fulfilling and meaningful. From dating advice to how to handle conflict in long-term relationships, these conversations should give you everything you need to not only find a partner, but maintain a healthy relationship, too. I learned so much from these guests - Matthew Hussey and Logan Ury's advice on compatibility and going on second dates is brilliant, and hearing from the Gottmans and Hannah Witton about positive communication has really improved and strengthened my own relationship. And I even discuss the importance of alone time with Francesca Specter, so we can all remember that it's important to take care of ourselves as well. This episode should have something for everyone - I hope this helps you in your quest for long-lasting love.
