Our conversation focuses all about Ali and his journey as a creator. In our first episode, Ali seemed to be right at the start of reaching that brass ring in the content creator space. We now reflect on the years since that release. From attending movie premieres, working\/partnering with brands to create content and reviews for them, and more. Ali talks about his experiences with them, as well as growing as a person and brand, and evolving. From bounding and dancing, to opportunities with modeling and working and walking in Toronto Fashion week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout this conversation, we talk about how Ali is bridging the gap of who he was 3 years ago to who he is now. We talk about how he focuses on making sure that each post he makes fit not just his brand, but also for his community. He talks about creating with intention, being his authentic self, and pushing himself to new opportunities and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ali is one of those people I just love to see in my feed. To see his continued success and I am just so happy that we were able to get back together to celebrate him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find Ali at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the.ali.way\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the.ali.way\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@the.ali.way\">https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@the.ali.way<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thealiway.me\/\">https:\/\/www.thealiway.me\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can listen to Ali&#8217;s original episode at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-libsyn wp-block-embed-libsyn\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-controls=\"1\" data-card-align=\"center\" data-card-theme=\"light\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/talesfromthefandom.libsyn.com\/ep-331-ali-aka-the-ali-way-talks-disney-pixar-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-dance-and-bounding\">Episode 331: Ali aka The Ali Way talks Disney, Pixar, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, dance, and bounding<\/a><\/h4><p>Ali aka The Ali Way on social media joins me to talk about his life and love of fandoms in a deeply personal talk.
