Really great to listen to Ben. I started a retail chain in 1991 called the Gadget Shop (I know you're too young!) followed by another called RED5 and a lot of my early journey resonated with your comments. Thanks for sharing.
He's so down to earth, humble and has his ego in check, despite his immense success and at such a young age. You could never guess that he runs a 700 people company. Good for him.
I didn't read him like that. I felt the opposite. I like to ask who I would want to work with and my gut feeling was not him. No sense he cares about people, no sense if humour or warmth.
Honestly speaking, I hadn't watched any podcasts that's over 1hr until this one. It actually felt like a conversation between two friends and was soo insightful as well. There are many podcasts available on TH-cam but this one was something different maybe it was the Ali Abdaal magic. Loved it!
What I love about Ben is that he is extremely present and humble I think it's one of the major reasons why he is so successful and in the future this success only will grow.
56:40 was exactly what I needed to hear, this will stick with me as I grow my business - thank you Ali for asking such a good question, incredible first podcast 🏆
Hey guys, incredible podcast, very strong start! There seems to be a duplicate of the sound? It echos from time to time, not a huge issue but just thought I would give the feedback, keep up the incredible work 🤘🏽
This was such an exceptional first episode Ali! So many nuggets of information, but more importantly, captivating from start to finish. I listened to it whilst running, and wanted it to go on and on! Listening to both you and Ben talk is pretty relaxing, you've both got a great story to tell. Can't wait to see what the future holds for the show, although it's going to take a lot to beat this one!
This is amazing! I finished watching the whole interview. It's very interesting and i really learned a lot from you guys and it inspired me to do better in my newly started Online Business. Thank you, Ben and Ali, you guys are very inspirational. I hope we become like you guys in terms of running our business. You guys got me even more motivated. Im so grateful to have watch this episode and i will keep in mind the points you have discuss to be successful entrepreneur. Your conversation is such a big help. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless you guys and i do hope we meet you one day! Take care and keep up the great work! :)
I'M NEW TO BTC AND I'VE BEEN MAKING LOSSES TRYING TO MAKE PROFIT MYSELF IN TRADING...I THOUGHT TRADING ON DEMO ACCOUNT IS JUST LIKE TRADING THE REAL MARKET... CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST ADVICE ME ON WHAT TO DO?
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor their trade.. I will advice you to stop trading on your own it's very risky. Seek advice of a professional trader.
What a great chat with Ben! He looks mature in his business role. Btw Ali, maybe a tip: if possible try to create a dedicated Podcast room/office. This is okay, but the sound quality isn't great and I know you care about these things.
Hi Ali! Love the new podcast, reminds me of Diary of a CEO, so inspirational and insightful. Very interesting and I definitely see the podcast going very far and hitting the top charts. I just found it a bit long and with a lack of structure, possibly something to work on for the next one. But loved it!!😊 Goodluck 💚
What an excellent podcast episode. Ben is an incredibly inspirational figure, and Ali is a phenomenal podcast host with amazing interviewing skills. I'm really enjoying this episode. Thank you Ali for creating this incredible show--you're filling in an important niche in the podcast space that others haven't really targeted, by specifically interviewing entrepreneurial creators. And Ben, thank you for taking the time to be interviewed on these various shows and spreading your story. It's by far the most inspirational entrepreneurial path I've ever heard, it's very "next-gen" and aligns with the modern emerging entrepreneurial path, and I'm sure there's someone out there who will hear your story, and be inspired to start the next groundbreaking company. Cheers!
This was such an awesome and insightful conversation. However, I feel like the audio could have been MUCH better with the use of proper microphones rather than lavaliers. After all, a podcast is primarily an audio experience rather than a visual one, which I think was not executed properly in this episode. The actual content was pretty solid nonetheless.
🤯🤯🤯 Ali, wow! Thanks for putting this together. I've gleaned a lot just from watching this conversation between you and Ben. I'm looking forward watching more episodes of the podcast and applying the lessons learned to my businesses and TH-cam channel. Thanks again Ali.
Thank you so much Ben and Ali for this video it was amazing and the advice was incredible. Having started my first business at 22 years old whilst in uni and now starting my new venture 5 years later, I really did to hear some of the inspiring and practical points discussed today. Thanks so much again, all the best with your journeys 📈💪🏾 and hoping to meet you both at some point 👊🏽
As much as I loved the episode. I genuinely think the setup could use some sound dampning. At parts it was pretty difficult to ignore the reverb, especially when Ben was talking. Keep up the good work, Ali. Subbed.
Ali please bring more entrepreneurs like ben we wanna series about those innovative people and I suggest making interview with Johnny boufarahat the founder of hopin the fastest growing startup in UK thanks alot Ali
Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has a high frequency of occurrence.
love the podcast Ben really dropping gems. I usually love how Ali interacts with guests on hiss channels and how they are mostly in one frame. I would love to see a round table type set up . It would make the interactions feels more comfortable and authentic. Seeing both speakers in one frame would be great
Incredible interview Ali! Loved hearing you propose if you could use their studio to shoot a course haha smart! One step closer to becoming a gym shark athlete 😉💪🏽
there's a smudge on the wall behind Ben's left shoulder, i found myself trying to clean my macbook screen for 2 minutes until I realized it, now there's an oily thumb print on top of the smudge on the wall 🤦♂️🤦♂️
What a brilliant interview, very inspirational stuff, however I did order some boxer shorts from Gymshark and was really looking forward to receiving them. However, got an email to say they were out of stock. Nevertheless, promptly refunded me my money. I will definitely invest in purchasing more of Gymshark products in the future. Wishing Ben and his team continued success in the future 🙂
Thanks, Ali! I really enjoyed this chat, good luck with the rest of the podcast! 😄
Really great to listen to Ben. I started a retail chain in 1991 called the Gadget Shop (I know you're too young!) followed by another called RED5 and a lot of my early journey resonated with your comments. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for dropping these gems! Such a huge inspiration 💯
I really enjoyed listening to it mate, very likeable person. Congratulations on all your success - and good luck going even further
Thanks so much for coming on Ben!
@ben you’re so smart brother! Great talk!!!
I love how Ali was talking about a GymShark partnership/sponsorship and now here he is interviewing the founder! Dreams do come true!
Incredible journey, I agree!
@@LucasPelizaro same 🙌

no his personality is terrible
I didn't read him like that. I felt the opposite. I like to ask who I would want to work with and my gut feeling was not him. No sense he cares about people, no sense if humour or warmth.
@@Peonies21 Do you want to work for a leader or a clown? If the latter then maybe you should join the circus.

1:05:00 I loved the interaction where Ali's trying to play down the product and Ben genuinely shows strong interest! The "might-do" list :)
Wonderful interview! I enjoyed interviewing Ben so much, such an inspirational person.
Love how inspiring and down to earth Ben is. Two productive kings! Thanks for this Ali!
Thanks for tuning in!
56:40 was exactly what I needed to hear, this will stick with me as I grow my business - thank you Ali for asking such a good question, incredible first podcast 🏆
How’s the business going
@@marcjacobs6613 thank you for asking, what did you think on the podcast?
@@Ben21Harris no answer? Was that intentional? 🤣 the podcast was insightful
Hey guys, incredible podcast, very strong start!

Same
I DON'T Know why but I'm so addicted to the content you make ! WISH YOU ALL THE BEST In THIS YOUR JOURNEY 💪
Same here, I'm literally super addicted and I watch every video/podcast he makes😂 no doubts he has an audience that knows, likes and trusts him
I like how candid Ben is about his journey. Thank you for sharing this with us!
‘The team doesn’t work for you, you work for them’ 🤩
Very good quote, people who do not think like that, lose the productivity that a water-tight team can bring them
Wow that was an amazing podcast! From wanting to be a Gymshark athlete to interviewing the CEO himself. Congratulations Ali!
1:03:00 wow look how Ben interacts and learn new skills
Moral of the story: "Wing it bro!"
Loved this convo :)
This was such an exceptional first episode Ali! So many nuggets of information, but more importantly, captivating from start to finish. I listened to it whilst running, and wanted it to go on and on! Listening to both you and Ben talk is pretty relaxing, you've both got a great story to tell.

Damn!! So candid and hella insightful. Excited to hear from other guests that you'll be bringing on this new long-form video format.
Cheers A-team :)
Ahh thank you! there's lots of exciting guests lined up :)
Ben and Krisy are my favorite on this podcast. They are such brilliant and warm souls. Thank you for sharing Ali :)
Ali blushing is a whole mood.
PS - This was a great video, thank you!

All you need as a beginner to make good profit from cryptocurrency is a professional trader who will trade on your behalf else you may make losses.
That is true, you need an expert trader to make good profit from cryptocurrency trade
And this is the perfect time to invest in cryptocurrency because of the rise in cryptocurrency.
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor their trade.. I will advice you to stop trading on your own it's very risky. Seek advice of a professional trader.
@@ameliaisla2327 How can someone know a professional trader that is trustworthy when legit ones are hard to find this days.
perfect! Just what I needed. Love ben francis. Such a humble guy
Little problem with the audio, but great content! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thanks for this interview, Ben raised some really interesting points!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great chat with Ben! He looks mature in his business role. Btw Ali, maybe a tip: if possible try to create a dedicated Podcast room/office. This is okay, but the sound quality isn't great and I know you care about these things.
When you invest, you're buying a day you don't have to work
I recently got into forex trading and im already marveling over the profits I'm making, I'm like " how the hell have i been sleeping on this
I'm new to this Bitcoin trading, how do I get started with a professional expert
Investments are stepping stone to SUCCESS, Investing is what create wealth
@Caro Sullivan Thank you I just inbox her and she responded nicely. I have started trading with her
Wow, I'm surprised someone mentioned and recommended Mrs Magaret of UCLA Anderson financial institute
Ali Abdaal is aspirational goals. Hopefully he continues to scale up his success, whist still having "fun" with everything he is doing.
Absolutely loved the chat, will probably be watching it a few more times. Absolute gem of a session with so many lessons to learn.
God bless TH-cam for access to such conversations
Ben Francis is really humble and down to earth. Wish you even more success.
Thanks Ali! The best discussion I have attended till date. Really enjoyed the views shared by Ben. He is such an inspiration.
This was brilliant Ali! Always impressed by your fearlessness when it comes to trying new things and making them work:)) bravo 😎
Thanks Ali, great sense of purpose, vision and solid teaching! Top-notch
Hi Ali!
Love the new podcast, reminds me of Diary of a CEO, so inspirational and insightful. Very interesting and I definitely see the podcast going very far and hitting the top charts.
I just found it a bit long and with a lack of structure, possibly something to work on for the next one. But loved it!!😊
Goodluck 💚
The fear of losing the hunger is real! Glad you asked that question, Ali!
Loved this, Ali, and your questions are so insightful (as are Ben's answers)! Thanks for sharing! :)

Thank you for this and this series! I'm at the start of my journey of building my business and this is really helpful.
Great start Ali - good luck with the podcast.

After all, a podcast is primarily an audio experience rather than a visual one, which I think was not executed properly in this episode. The actual content was pretty solid nonetheless.
agree. Alis sound wasn't perfect in this one
Ali could definitely use more feedback while starting up on this new podcast. Hope he sees this.
🤯🤯🤯 Ali, wow! Thanks for putting this together. I've gleaned a lot just from watching this conversation between you and Ben. I'm looking forward watching more episodes of the podcast and applying the lessons learned to my businesses and TH-cam channel. Thanks again Ali.
Thank you Ore, pleased you found it valuable :)
Congratulations on your third youtube channel! Wishing you all the best!
Ali, this was wonderful! 👏 Interesting, informative and inspirational. Thank you so much! 🙏 Best wishes to both of you.
is Ali's voice echoing at some points in the video ? or is it just me?
yup it is
Great chat! Really inspiring! Cool to hear a local (to me) accent too! :D
Ben Francis is from the West Midlands, like me. So cool , can see Aston University, hope he becomes more successful .
You should promote this channel more often. great podcast!

after a few videos this chanel will be a million milesotone for sure
hope so :)
@@DeepDivewithAliAbdaal it will reach 😁 me and my friends are subscribed already 💜
I can't believe that it was the first episode and it is more than a year ago. Amazing!
As much as I loved the episode. I genuinely think the setup could use some sound dampning. At parts it was pretty difficult to ignore the reverb, especially when Ben was talking. Keep up the good work, Ali. Subbed.
Thank you for sharing this!
Ali is a great interviewer! Unlike many podcasters, he is smart enough to let his guests talk.
I really like how Ben was eager to learn about how Ali creates content for TH-cam.
Another trope is constantly learning, realising you work for the team rather than the team working for you,.
Ben Francis deserves to be at the top.
GREAT GUEST CHOICE !!
Ali please bring more entrepreneurs like ben we wanna series about those innovative people and I suggest making interview with Johnny boufarahat the founder of hopin the fastest growing startup in UK thanks alot Ali

Really loved this
this video was so cool I am glad you started a Podcast
I find audio not as perfect it is on your other video 🥲 btw congratulations for this 😄
Such a great podcast, Ben is so humble even if he achieved so much at a young age.
Just looked at the intro and it came across as solid I feel in case that helps as feedback Ali, Angus and team! Raza :)
Thank you Ali and Ben! Raza :)
Amazing content. Loved it. Thanks Ali abdaal and the team. What about bringing tom blomfield?
There's still a hunger and a drive for greater success in Ben Francis
Great episode!
Dude’s a visionary! 🤙🏽
Heads up that this podcast still doesn't show up on Google Podcast when I search "deep dive with Ali abdaal". Not Overthinking shows up though
hey richa, we are experiencing some difficulties with Google Podcasts, but we've been told it should show up in a few days :)
The audio was trippin out the whole time😂 great video mate. Much enjoyed.
I am so happy that I “get to” listen to this :-)
A common trope is knowledge of technology will take you very far.
Do you have videos about the Notion workflows you’re using or how you’re leveraging it exactly? Very curious about this.
Thank you so much ..I am 18 years old from India ❤️ 🏆. I am very lucky to live in Ali genration ❤️
Best Ever💣
Nice video. Good breakdown. LFG
Congrats on this new venture ali!
Awesome 👍. Thank you both
Hey dude great podcast. But something was wrong with your audio. Ben’s audio was fine but I could hear some overlapping in your audio.
Intro BGM is amazing😍
Thank you for sharing very incredible
Pleased you enjoyed it!
there's a smudge on the wall behind Ben's left shoulder, i found myself trying to clean my macbook screen for 2 minutes until I realized it, now there's an oily thumb print on top of the smudge on the wall 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Great story!
Yay a stationery line 🥳
I'm amazed of your income... You really knows how to get money from the air
Kudos to Ali who’s willing to spend a lot of money to become a gym shark athlete creating a podcast especially to interview it’s founder🕺🏼👏🏼
