Ali’s boxing match is going to be against productivity

[alinahussain]

Since you’re working on your book, I’d thought I’d recommend the book how to grow your writing brain by Susan Reynolds and it’s about how to use proven neuroscience to become a more creative, productive and successful writer. It’s really helped me grow as a writer, what kind of write I am, figure out what I want to write and how I want to write it. It’s really helped me, so I defos recommend it:) Also congrats on 2 million and thank you for inspiring me and helping me become a more productive version of myself.

[MDobri-syce]

I am the same way. I don’t care about leaving a legacy just having an impact/helping the most amount of people that I can while I am here!

[sylviadimova]

I am really appreciating the new side angle shots. They are adding a fresh look to the channel. Whoever suggested that needs a raise. 😀
