    Ali's unfair advantage is clearly that English accent.
  • @MrKaiyooo
    This poor guy. How is he ever gonna become a doctor with such readable handwriting.
  • I think the self-esteem/confidence thing is more of an unfair advantage if you were raised in a positive environment which allowed these traits to become inherent in your character. Versus someone who has to work to overcome negative life experiences in order to build confidence. For some people it can take years to develop genuine self-esteem and confidence. That's a disadvantage.
  • @mentorclips3004
    1. Double down on strengths 2. Determine the path of least resistance 3. Growth Mindset - everything is a learning experience
  • @marinara2596
    Someone has up-graded their editing game. Duly noted 😏
  • @tbg6070
    I might get that book, this dude has a very no non-sense down to earth approach and he seems to want to empower rather than sell a dream.
  • @Versole
    - the background of a person can determine their success - an unfair advantage when it comes to intelligence - location and luck (being in right place and at right time and doing something about it) - Manufacture our own luck (take more actions, do more things, meet more people, go to more events, blog about your startup, produce things & publish them, get feedback, put stuff out into the world) this leads to more of a fair advantage - education/experience (more brandable, knowledge, network) - personal growth (confidence, self-esteem) - growth mindset (anyone can do it) vs fixed mindset (It is something not for me) ~ you got to find a reality balance between them. - being humble at the end of the day
  • @tyq5443
    I can't believe Ali's handwriting is still so nice years after being a doctor.
  • @HasanKubba
    My Unfair Advantage, being interviewed by Ali! 😉
  • @luisllerena5117
    You know Ali, truth be told, just from watching many of your videos now and the very insightful knowledge you pass on, I can tell you that science behind all these things is great - but what is even greater is having the level of enthusiasm towards your target goals that you carry. I think many of us just aren't so obviously enthusiastic and the whole journey becomes more of a grind. You seem to sincerely enjoy almost every facet of learning and the journey and it's something to behold and learn from for ourselves. Your mindset is bulletproof for success regardless if you want to look at science or not, amazing work my friend.
  • @footsurecoyote
    unfair advantage = physical attractiveness , yes lookism is a real thing
  • @cullinm
    Yes! This series is going to be epic.
  • @Adam_Aparece
    I never was good at cardiac anatomy so can I get a heart from Ali?
  • @lizbecker1677
    With so much negativity on YouTube these days, it's refreshing to see Ali out there summarizing this book and interviewing the author in a very positive way. So many YouTubers are out there "debunking" and criticizing. Can't wait to watch more of these videos!
  • @mrf8514
    Dude's got that professional voice-over voice
  • @wonderwallflower
    Kylie Jenner: wants to be a billionaire Unfair advantages: well hello there
  • Would keep self-esteem under status category. The amount of time and effort I had to put into confront Complex-PTSD/DTD is something I wouldn't call an advantage. Having the ability to be aware of your brain, mind and body to develop any sense of what constitutes self-esteem isn't something to be taken for granted. Thank you for your video(s).
  • @ZacAlsop
    Great video, very well articulated!
  • Realistic videos like this are so much more motivating than any of those "YOU CAN DO IT! JUST WANT IT BAD ENOUGH!" videos. Thank you!!!
