- Welcome to Woke Wednesdays, where my friend Ali and I eat food and discuss a specific topic to educate ourselves and raise awareness. Today we are talking about why we quit our jobs and why you should too, if you are considering it :)

Who am I:
I am Dr. Sheen Gurrib and I want to play my part in supporting the next generation of empowered women. I work as a strategy consultant, but also have a podcast, write a blog and make videos about my experience of Oxford and Cambridge, and general 'woke' stuff 🍿
I recommend not having music playing throughout the entire video.
yesss i agree
💯
i agree
Yes pls
I agree! I've commented many times that I think the background music is too distracting but I'm not too sure if it's just the problem with my phone....
I can’t wait for Ali’s video in 5 years time “why I pay for a dog walker full time’ 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
me watching : Why you should quit your job......
Then realizing, I don't have one.
😭😂😂💔
That was so me🤣
😅✋
Here is something from someone who is "positively ancient" (33) and quit her job twice in last one and a half year... being an entrepreneur isn't the only motive to quit your job...
I love your dynamic with Ali! These conversations sound so productive, wholesome and genuine. Do you plan to continue with Woke Wednesdays after you move out?
Please continue
I'm on my 1 hour lunch break at work - I spent 25 mins watching this while eating and now i'm determined to spend the remaining time planning my next RUclips video! Thanks for the motivation guysss, amazing
Hi Sheen 😊 - Congratulations on your new job 💐🥳🎉🎊
I always look forward to your Woke Wednesday conversations with Ali, always interesting to listen to. 💖👑
Everytime I watch Woke Wednesdays with Sheen and Ali, I genuinely feel that these are my people. Like man, we'd be hyping up each other with our similar outlook on life! 😍
Ali's sense of humour is amazing, I don't know why it feels he and people around him are repressing it
I am in Management Consulting and we work literally 15 hours a day.... I eat in front of the screen and I don't even get to think about anything else.... 🥺 It's a thing .. these scenarios exist in real life.....
Such a interesting concept about having a side business. Thank you for your advise. Much appreciated
love how you two interact with each other, natural, genuine
23:01 - disagree with this point, try working a full day in retail. It’s awful and since doing it full time alongside uni, I’ve gained so much more respect for people that do and understand why starting a side hustle isn’t that simple for everybody
BUT I AGREE WITH THIS 23:44 - people like that are annoying! To have the privilege to be able to quit and refusing to do so purely out of fear is foolery and honestly quite sad. I think if Ali met people who struggle, he’d form some degree of understanding :)
Ali is so productive that he eats his Keema Pav efficiently to augment his taste receptors which was in the book ‘The 4 Day Week’.
Hello sheen I always wait for woke Wednesday to listen this great topics to listen from both of you!
I absolutely loved this video, As a student currently in the sixth form I have this perception for my upcoming career and ambitions, however, many would disagree with me and end up complaining about their situation of not having enough time. Fab video loved it very much. The idea of starting when you are young is highly applicable in today's world. #in my opinion
I'm convinced. I haven't started watching yet but I'm sure it's the right thing already. Must be a powerful video
There are two types of people in the world: people who follow the easy path and people who take risks to follow their dream path.
I hear this, yet I also want to say that there really isn't an "easy" path, perhaps a more common one, yet all life has its trials. If you are following a traditional path and you are happy, that is beautiful too. Bravery doesn't have to be going against the grain. Bravery can be sticking to the common path because you know that is the path you actually want most. ;)
If people like u were famous and connected to every person on this planet ,this world would definitely change. Great vdo u2 keep going.
Love this discussion. It’s interesting to listen to your viewpoints - food for thought. The background music was a tad too loud though, making it slightly harder to hear (with headphones on). Could you maybe slow it down a notch next time? Just wanna hear your both your voices clearly :) can’t wait for future woke Wednesdays x
Sheen, wishing you all the best!
My last Exams and Sheen’s LA’s week at week. End of an Era.
Yeay excited already haven't watched but am currently in the same boat as you Sheen as am on my notice period....
Happy 14K and lovely video Sheen. Choosing the right job for you is even better than quitting a tiring and unfulfilling job ^_^ xx
Sometimes I feel like Ali really contradicts himself... He has just released a video talking about working 4 hours a day and here he says that working in the evening after you finish your day job should not be a problem and don't tell me you're even tired. What if I am? What if I don't want to work more than 8 hours a day? I know that he doesn't say that being an entrepreneur is for everyone but at the same time a) no, working all the time is not healthy even when you're young b) people have various energy levels, health issues etc and some people struggle to even keep their day job. I hate the hustle culture.
I think you may have misunderstood the part that Ali says he has laid out processes and systems in place that he can only work for 4hrs ...but in this video he is highlighting that he can work even more hours if he chooses to not because he is forced to as per the traditional job.
As for the issue if after 8hrs if you need to rest take the time ,but in days when you don't feel as tired you can still work on your side hustle.
@@sharlenegumbo Still, no one can convince me working so much is healthy mentally and physically.
@@IESWlodarczyk There’s no such thing as universally healthy. Some people function well working all the time. Others want relaxation. Either way, the more **productive** hours you put in, the more you get out of it. You just have to find out how much you want it and how much you’re willing to sacrifice.
@@resantic2256 I see that Ali’s concept around it often revolves around doing what feels like “work to others, but play to you”. So, when I hear Ali talking about how he works for long hours-I don’t see him as someone who’s hustling or overworking. I see him as a guy who enjoys what he does slightly more than most people. I think he’s mostly chosen the right battles so far to keep him interested for so long.
@@zahidibr I don't criticize his lifestyle. It's wonderful that he's happy with what he's doing. I'm talking about imposing it on others or telling people it's the right thing to do (even if he says he doesn't do that - he is an extremely successful influencer that lots of people try to mimic after all).
I ❤️ the vibe you give off
Me 2 weeks ago: starts a solid, well paying job.
Ali: WHY YOU SHOULD QUIT YOUR JOB
23:01 it depends on which country you're working in and which industry you're a part of. I remember my old job as a banker in India required me to work for 13 to 14 hours everyday. It was extremely exhausting.
Oh my God! Did you leave the job
Oh! I was waiting for this ❤️ I thought maybe you forgot to post a video 😅
Any advice on the internet and other platforms needs to be taken with a pinch of salt! We are not all in the same boat. Period.
Ahhh I'm so close to quitting my job, this just helped me a little more. Also the Audio only comes out of my right headphone! #PTYA
I didn't know people from Mauritius know about Rashmalai, Biriyani similar eid celebrations like Indian subcontinent. I also mistook you for an Indian. Would you like to make a video about your country, language, culture and location only?
I love watching Ali eat. It's weirdly comforting
I enjoy my work. I work 2 days a week and I’m a mum,wife and me for rest of week. Im content being employed. I don’t want to quit but I do want to be more creative and do more self love projects.
great insight.
This is just teasing me 🤣
I am dying to quit my job 💔
I really don't know what Ali is suggesting to quit for? (A "better" life?) Or who Ali is really addressing with his call to "quit, quit, quit". Maybe he is surrounding himself with too many high achieving people (established youtubers, cambridge graduates etc.) that are capable. Reflecting a world view where every person has kind of extraordinary abilites or that these abilites are just ordinary.
I think we will see what his part-time youtuber academy will bring to the people who partake. Showing kind of empirical evidence what someone who is surely willing to explore the entrepreneurial path can truly achieve.
But maybe i am just too pessmistic about what one can seriously manage to do. Or i am valuing the classic 9 to 5 job too highly because i haven't begun mine yet.
You obviously don’t quit and wait for your life to get better. You just replace the time working a 9 to 5 with doing something else that brings in money.
@@resantic2256 but they are making that sound super easy and just Because they grew quickly they assume everyone can do that?? It’s not realistic and I don’t get why they are putting a downer on the 9 to 5, some of them jobs are amazing and many people enjoy it as it fits there lifestyle and they can still do so much in there time like travel and leisure.
I also quit my engg job last month to follow independent research .... ❤️ It's a free world
Hi sheen could you make these episodes like podcasts if it aligns with your goals for your podcast....I'd like to listen to them as I'm working out or doing something else
Sidenote: I like the headbands you wear in your videos! I would like to collab with you both one day. :-)
this is a sign for me-been overworking (i have a job that requires me to work 14-15hrs a day)
Whatever Ali was eating looks delish!
Love this video but please no background music ! Thank you :D
what is the background music? lovely!
Safe it for later squad~
1am here good night for now ~
Gta be honest u 2 have motivated me
What google site did ali mention to find if your ready to quit your job.
good stuff
Like always, good convo. Just I don’t think the music is quite unnecessary. The background music kinda intruding. Any, congrats Dr Sheen for your new job!
I like the background music, relaxing 😊 I think we are all different people here
You should get Dishoom to sponsor the videos
You two are right for each other. As my grandma would say, “Shadee karo baysharmo!”
Quit my job two weeks ago. By finding odd jobs and freelance openings I’ve made 50% more money on my own than I did at that job.
soooo distracted by the food!! Why does it look so goood😭
I really hate my job and I feel so hesitant to quit. No idea what i want to do. It’s horrible feeling stuck like this every day
Sorry to hear that, I would advise you to do work experience if you can while being financially stable, do lots of research and envision where you want to be 5 or 10 years down the line, try it and if you don’t like it, pick yourself back up and try again x.
I wish I can quite my job, but I needed to help my family, so here I am working in a job that I hate and don't have anything related to wat I really study for the last 6 years
That’s a really hard situation and it can take a toll on your mental health, I’d advise you to do research on avenues such as apprenticeships that are well payed and can get you to climb the ladder without being in debt in education.
Wow, you are positively ancient! Ali has no chill! LOL Congrata to you both!
Sheen the background music is distructive.Both of you are entertaining enough you don't need the music.
Good stuff😂😂😂
Me: *Umployed and still in education watching this*
could you please do a video on islam and your beliefs? it would be amazing to see your perspectives on things. the misconceptions and your views on the verses or the parts of the religion that people use against islam.
i am learning about religion, judaism, christianity and islam at the moment and would love to hear your views!
Sheen reminds me of max magerry from Holby city 😂😂
I just love to watch Ali eat lol
Ali is so cool
I live these woke Wednesday videos. Why is Ali always eating Keema Pow?
I think you both need to be careful about glamorising quitting your job. You can’t expect people to quit their job when they don’t have an alternative means of income. It would be sensible to advise people to build something first where they have a solid income coming in. Ali had an alternative source of income and it was comfortable for him to quit. This is not the case for everyone and it doesn’t make you “less brave”.
Thank you it needed to be said, there will be young people especially watching this assuming and picturing them being able to not work a job and become super famous overnight and have a stable income and an amazing life, and the thing is if anyone and everyone could do that, none of us would would a ‘normal’ job and we would all do this or another way of getting a large income and quitting our jobs.
I agree with what you said but they did mention that they are speaking from a place of privilege and that if you arnt making ends meet the obviously not and also near the end they mention they whole do something on the side until your able to quit once the 'something on the side' hits off
I just can't wait for Sheen to eat her food everytime uses the spoon like a wand 😁😆
I think you should acknowledge that you do have (a) better jobs and/or (b) better will power than average and that most people just have neither to be able to start a side gig. Even when you "only" have a 9.5 hour work day (compared to the 15hour work in another comment), in the 2 hours/day when you aren't commuting, doing housework, cooking, getting ready for work, you wouldn't have the energy to think about anything....
The truth is, unfortunately, most of us just aren't as talented as you two, so even if we may have the same work hours, due to our lack of efficiency/capability at work, we do have to use up more energy at work, hence resorting to mindless TV after work... Of course we all know that this isn't ideal, but some of us are just built to be lazier/incapable than you.
On Ali's question is working 14 15hrs a thing. 😅😅😅 Please come to South Korea you might amaze yourself 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I swear Ali's quit his job twice now?
Congrats on the new job Sheen!
Also, cat lovers turn away you may be offended by this video. 😹
There is no sound in the entire video
Love the content but the music is a bit too loud
I just did.
I feel BGM is actually not required. I was quite distracted with the BGM and lost good content of what you both are talking
Do you ever eat something light? :-)
Ok so working toward quitting my job it is. Anyone else?
One day soon when you hit 20k you won’t be hearting ❤️ my comments 😂
No
nice to see Ali eat for once , gd vid
Thought he was drinking red wine not coke
What is the name of the food that you're eating. You guys are making me hungry just watching you eat
This video made me hungry :(
Team CATS for LIFE
idk y but I just wanted to take and drink the coke while watching :D
Ali needs a break from a break lol
Are you a couple ????
Damn! He is not chewing his food properly..😨
is ali is ur bf
May be Ali is a bad Companion. Whoever get touch of him quite his /her job🤣🤣🤣.first Ali's PA now Shean you.
ali wot are u on about mate.. u never quit ur job to start a business u literally had the business setup before u quit.. so u telling ppl to quit their job to JUST START A BUSINESS BRO is ridiculous.
You know what screw you Ali, I love my job. Lol
did i just spend a fraction of my life watch these folks crash their food?
Why do I get a feeling Ali is triangulating women around him, destabilizing them and influencing them to take risks with their careers that might not be the best for them
I’m sorry to say this but I actually agree with you, this is why I am really concerned by some ‘productivity you-tubers’ as they try and accommodate from themselves all the time, generally speaking
Ali you will not get a 6-pac you're always munching like a mad man haha
I literally cannot handle the eating noises in these videos 🥴 surely I am not the only one who finds this super off putting
He prob quit his job because the income was high enough off his channel to not work the other job. Is Ali going to make dog training videos? Dogs are compliment getters, cats are for people who don’t need compliments and fake love. Dog only “loves” you bc you feed it. I like both cats and dogs for the record. Cats are better pets bc lower maintenance. If you could put food and water and a litter box out for a dog I’d say they are better pets but nope cats win.
@ΛCΞ well if they’re single yes maybe they’re a normal person in a relationship and the other person would foot the bill for them doing better in the future. That or they could if single move in with a relative die starvation or homeless doubt it. I love how Ali was saying it was so Cliche, I kinda think these mastermind groups are a scam money grab for fake gurus.
