People don’t realize how valuable it is to have someone this honest. It’s easy to not be aware how we come off to others so to have someone be brutally honest as she is IMO is useful for learning, growing and raising your self awareness. Great video!

[@CherylD]

Agreed. I thought she was so brutally honest that it shocked me but in a good way. That’s why im in the comments to see if others felt the same way. Now i also think that he’s only hearing this because of the video and that’s the game… Like, she made it very clear that he’s rude. Like RUDE RUDE but it’s when he’s the RUDEST that she hates it the most right? And he was surprised. What i’m trying to say is that she’s honest and telling him now because she can but in their everyday life he doesn’t seem to listen or pay attention to the way he treats other people.

True, although no one is perfect and at least he isn't claiming to be the nicest person in the united kingdom. There are so many other influencers that would censor anything that makes them look less than awesome and then build a toxic cult following around them. Him not doing that shows that he is self aware and is hopefully working on it. He is letting us see that he is human and has shortcomings in his character.

[@famouswolfdesignco]

@Sai You will soon find out that all of that negative energy will cannibalise your soul and you will have a very insular existence as the years go on. Nobody wants to be around rude assholes. You’ll see. Also, you can still fire people for being bad at their job without being rude. Maybe it’s your fault for not picking the right people for the roles? We must look at ourselves before we start pointing the finger and being “rude”

He’s high in the trait disagreeableness. I’ve been a fan of him for a long time and this is how he is. I don’t think he wants to hurt anyone’s feelings. Not everyone has to be super warm and nice and agreeable and smily all the time - that’s exhausting.

I loved how genuine this video is ... Elizabeth is awesome

[@subhangyerramsetti6582]

Man Elizabeth really cares about ali, damn

[@myth3516]

How did you infer this?

[@PHILLYMEDIC69]

@@myth3516 She's giving him constructive criticism

[@myth3516]

@@PHILLYMEDIC69 look at her body language when she’s saying things about him, it has an air of annoyance and she isn’t facing him when she says a lot of it. His body language shows that he doesn’t feel it’s constructive. But what do I know, I could be wrong here.

[@doublespirals4472]

i can say i have productively procrastinated watching this

[@taylenh2350]

The fact that they're both so eloquent and talk so fast makes me feel like I'm watching the video at 2x speed 😅

[@theperipateticaccrescent7685]

This guy corrects and supports her sooo subtly, it's really cool!

Ali Abdaal has become the typical CEO with no emotions

[@Wingedmagician]

The price of success

[@jonnybingham1]

You have to be objective. Don’t mistake that for no emotions. But it is true that emotional intelligence is very important.

[@PHILLYMEDIC69]

@@jonnybingham1 the video speaks for itself

[@kristuti1]

I don't think he has become, I think he always was like that, he is lacking emotional and social intelligence and it's obvious. You can train yourself to a certain point but if it's not given it's not given. He is mindful and he declared many times that he tries to work on this also he notices how other people like Sheen or Elizabeth can connect on an emotional level with others.

[@moodmeditation4458]

Nah may be more mentally occupied and overwhelmed with work.

[@leonaxlily]

please do a video on how much you pay yourself + how you decide what salary to pay your staff based on their roles + how you decide the hours you want them to work for you ie. why some are part time and others are full time

[@EstherNjoku23]

I love this, i mean getting to see Ali through Elizabeth eyes

[@DrivingTV]

This is a great channel and I enjoyed this video, and congratulation to Elizabeth with her channel. She has grown very fast and I think her channel will only grow and get bigger. I also have an KZbin channel when I see a channel doing well It makes me happy. This is a great channel and good luck to both.

[@raige3534]

I think Ali is totally overwhelmed with his personal assistant's looks & personality

You know it is possible for a man and woman to coexist in a space without any romantic or sexual undertones, right? Get your mind out of the gutter.

[@raige3534]

@@nka82 Its not my problem that you think overwhelmed means to be sexually attracted to each other......it merely means that his assistant has a very interesting personality because she is very honest about her boss(Ali) in this video due to which Ali seems to be a bit overwhelmed.I will get my mind out of the gutter when you step out out of it

Ali's death stare into the camera pierced through my soul 😂😂

[@sunbhattacharjee]

Here is what I love about Elizabeth, she is brilliantly spontaneous and confident. Or so I have seen.

[@YasminQuasne]

God I LOVE her and her channel so much. It’s both super entertaining and extremely useful.

[@shzammpatapon9865]

9:23, Ali is the procrastinator that get the job done so fast that he do it at the end and still got A+ in class

[@hungnguyenquoc9487]

It is so shocking that Ali did not timestamp these questions.

[@deepeshjain3564]

Imagine announcing on social media that u want to get married and just forgetting about it lol Those girls were expecting to marry Ali abdaal and he just forgot of it😂

[@Wingedmagician]

Or at least get a response RIP

[@justthebasicsza7302]

There are sooo many aspects of this interaction that could be a case study 😂 Btw, totally agree with Elizabeth's perspective on the marriage inbox. 'Matters of the heart' require more responsibility than just 'leveraging a platform' 😬

[@ms.marieanne]

A little awkward but highly entertaining 👍🏻

[@itsmeGeorgina]

Overacting... kind of,, sky high vibe for such a setting

[@patricial8520]

It’s like a professor doing an interview with a student

[@pratibhapandey8339]

A lot of people writing here that Ali seems reserved and Elizabeth is caring and honest towards Ali. Well , you need to have person like Ali who supported her with all her answer and heartily accepted all her opinions. That's courage and generosity.

[@moodmeditation4458]

Yup a more less provoking.

[@sjulian147]

LOVED THIS! :) vey good insight into both your lives! good dynamic too

[@bogarteyou]

This is so funny. I really enjoyed it. The title of this video should be 'Meet the parents'. Yes, I'm actually looking for a second video, 'Meet the Fockers'. 😂

[@rinc1072]

Aww Ali you remind me of my boss. He can be very efficient and logical at the expense of appealing to others' emotions, but deep down inside he is caring, will always do right by everyone and is a sweetie patootie. Bless you and the amazing team you have. Good people attract other good people. :)

I like how they act as they are unaware about many things and then realised when other person says

I really enjoyed watching this, seemed very natural & unrefined. She never felt the need to hold back, maybe out of fear or something.. Kudos Ali, I love you channel..
