Who Am I
Hey friends. I’m Ali Abdaal. A former doctor turned YouTuber, entrepreneur, podcaster and soon-to-be author. I’ve been creating YouTube videos for over 7 years and have amassed a following of over 4 million on my main channel.

By 2020 I’d hired a small team to help me run the channel. With their help, I was bashing out a couple of videos a week whilst working as a junior doctor. That’s when the idea of our Part Time YouTuber Academy came to me. I figured all the knowledge I’d gained on this journey would be helpful to at least 10 people, so we launched Cohort 1 of PTYA in November of 2020. Over 350 people joined lol.
