Is it immoral to publicly share revenue ...

Ali & Taimur Abdaal
About this episode

In this episode, we discuss Taimur and Mack's setup of co-living in the Caribbean while Ali's stuck in rainy England. We then wonder aloud at length about whether Ali is a bad person for posting his revenue numbers on social media.
