Ali Abdaal is a British former doctor turned creator whose channel covers productivity, study techniques and building an online business.

He started posting in 2017 while studying medicine, and his exam-technique and note-taking videos found a large student audience.

Leaving clinical medicine to create full time became one of his most-discussed videos.
