What if the secret to peak performance wasn’t grinding harder, but simply feeling better? In this episode of Real Relationships, Real Revenue, I sit down with the brilliant Ali Abdaal—doctor, YouTuber, author, and now productivity philosopher—to unpack the science and strategy behind Feel Good Productivity. We explore the idea that happiness isn’t a reward for success, but the engine that drives it. Ali breaks down how boosting energy, reducing stress, and infusing joy into your daily work can radically enhance both performance and satisfaction. If you’ve ever felt burned out, stuck, or like your business development efforts are a chore, this conversation might just flip everything you thought you knew about productivity.

We also dive into the real-world applications of Ali’s ideas—from overcoming introversion in high-stakes networking to staying consistent with outreach when results seem far away. With his signature blend of science and story, Ali walks us through practical ways to make selling, leading, and even showing up to client events feel fun. This isn’t just a motivational chat—it’s a masterclass in rethinking how you work, sell, and grow. If you’re building a business, deepening client relationships, or just trying to stay sane while doing it all—tune in. You’re going to want to hear this.

Topics We Cover in This Episode:

• The one question that can transform any task from draining to energizing

• Why feeling good before you get results might be your ultimate advantage

• A mindset shift that turns sales into service—and kills the sleazy feeling

• How Nobel Prize-winning physics and magic tricks both relate to business growth

• The 3 core "energizers" that power up your workday (and how to use them)

• The simple trick Ali used to stay consistent on YouTube
