Ali Abdaal
Met 2024-11-28 14:00 at Shenzhen Marriott Nanshan, Shenzhen, China.Age 30. Met at his apartment in Hong Kong. He and his wife moved here 3 months ago for better weather, since she was so affected by the winter blues. Committed to staying two years. Baby due in May.
He asked my parenting advice (read Brain Rules for Baby, give your full attention, let the kid lead while you follow), and we talked a lot about writing - the benefits of short chapters.
Talked about fame, and how it's actually nice to have a bit, because it opens doors to meeting people. While we walked around Hong Kong, he was stopped three times by fans asking for a photo.
