Koi

In 2022, I was at a crossroads that would change the trajectory of my life.

I was finally an MD, about to start residency.

But nothing felt right.

When my brother Mike and I started this channel during the pandemic, it was just a side project. But while I was supposed to be studying medicine, I found myself staying up late working on Youtube and my business. My heart was trying to tell me something my brain didn't want to hear.

"Dude, shut up and be grateful," my friends told me. "Do you know how many people would kill to be where you are?"

But I always came back to the same questions:

Which path makes me feel alive?

Which one can I see myself doing non-stop?

For me, 9 times out of 10, it was entrepreneurship.

So I took the leap, and left my career as a doctor.

I moved back in with my parents (who were disappointed to say the least), and bootstrapped for 2 years as an unemployed doctor with loans hanging over my head.

And here we are in 2025.

Today, we’re saying goodbye to this channel (for now), and starting a new chapter where we help businesses grow with Youtube and content creation.

We’ve had the privilege to work with several high profile clients, and this is without a doubt the work that makes my soul come alive.

I’m speaking on behalf of Mike when I say that we are deeply grateful for everyone who has been apart of our journey, from the days of RemNote, to Cajun Koi, to Study Quest, and our communities. I never would have imagined reaching a million subs on youtube, let alone a million in revenue. Especially starting with zero background in entrepreneurship.

But I believe that if you love what you do, then success is inevitable.

Now it’s time to do it all again.

If you have aspirations to carve your own path with content creation, we invite you to join us on our second youtube channel.

My full story is up on that channel here: https://youtu.be/KoMEDDXV7W0?si=Q1ccG...

It’s one of the most raw and open videos I’ve made.

You’ll find Mike’s origin story there as well (but mine’s way more dramatic)

If you're feeling trapped in your "perfect career" but your gut says otherwise – this one's for you.

with love and gratitude,

Matty

The way I ugly cried when I saw this. I have MB exams next week and this channel has been a big part of my journey as a medical student struggling to understand myself and maximise my productivity. Mike and Matty, I'm so grateful for you both and for your channel. I wish you the very best because you have given us the very best. Lots and lots of love and well wishes❤️❤️❤️.

God loves you so much even though we deserve eternal hell He graciously sent His Son Jesus Christ to be our Great and Awesome Savior so that we can be rescued from the just wrath of God for our sins by His Perfect Righteousness cleansing and covering us forever: ONLY THANKS to JESUS CHRIST we can be saved! So let us put our faith and trust in Him and repent: He offers grace and forgiveness of all our sins because He dealt with them on the cross, taking our punishment in our place for our sins!!!!!!! HALLELUYAH WHAT A GRACIOUS AND LOVING GLORIOUS SAVIOR!!!!❤️❤️❤️ He wants you to come back to Him, no matter what you’re going through He cares and wants to rescue you from that situation, He created you for His Glory and for Himself! He is good, He won’t condemn you if you come to Him through the Lord Jesus Christ!!! Jesus could come back at anytime or death could come at anytime so we must have a relationship with God through our Lord Jesus Christ and seek after His Glorious Eternal Kingdom since this world will pass away!!!✨ If you need any information or just want to talk about anything, (struggles, sins, even why you may be angry with God) no judgement, please reach out to me. I’d LOVE to talk to you, and so does our Great and Awesome Loving God! In Jesus Great and Mighty Name, I pray, AMEN! God bless, luv u💕❤

Do you know that Jesus loves you? He gave up his life and died on the cross bearing the weight of all sins in the world so we can be saved and have eternal life with him in heaven. Jesus is waiting for you with his loving arms. Please repent before it's too late. Godbless.
