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,
