To anyone who is worried about being on camera - no-one cares as much as you do. If your friends aren’t interested in your niche, they aren’t going to watch your videos just to make fun of you (and if they do, they aren’t friends!). KZbin has so many viewers, there will be someone out there who likes your content.

[@ochangokorn]

I believe 💚

[@gginjapan6294]

@thebritishenglishteacher thank you so much 😊 . You are really inspiring.

[@LolaMarsMusic]

Thanks Izzy! I’m an architect and a musician, and like you, I’m also a woman who loves supporting other women. Keep at it. You and your videos are inspiring! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐

[@seehowitgrows]

It means so much to me to hear someone else say they're scared of what the people that know them will say... why does that feel so much scarier than complete strangers!!

[@angela00100]

I love this combo!!!! Love to see both of you! Both wise, beautiful and gorgeous❤

[@BacktoFrugal]

THANK YOU Izzy for doing a video like this! So I overcame my fear and published my book and then just started my channel to go with it. I always wanted to share my financial tips with more than just friends, to make my small impact on this world if I can. I genuinely hate seeing people struggle with debt or watch them live off credit cards trying to keep up with the Joneses or the Kardashians. If you could mention my channel or my book, I would forever be humbled and keep continuing my journey of trying to make a positive impact on many people's lives as I could. Thank you again for being an inspiration! And it was nice to see another Female succeeding on KZbin. I had initially searched on KZbinrs with millions of subscribers or views and it's sad to see they are predominantly male. I hope this changes in the future, and glad you got over your fears, as I am still doing:) Thank you again!

[@Nancymusic1717]

Izzy and ali is such a great combo! We love your experiences and tips and the lowkey and not highly edited videos !

[@TheLazyCostumer]

Sooo helpful but also so relaxed and friendly feeling. I'm so put off by all the intensity around making a YT channel, I'm not that person. Passion I get, overbearing I don't. Thank you both.

[@Healthdiet-371]

I just started on January 24, 2024. Still a lot to learn so far so good. Great video!

I think there is something between this two really 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Yes I think the same 😊

[@jameswalker366]

Rumour has it, she in fact is the GF he is yet to officially introduce.

[@breathininluxembourg]

Yeah, i have been guessing they have been dating for awhile!

[@NANINANI-cs6rn]

I think there's something called minding our business, but you guys don't know it

[@chernsimons6295]

Both went to the same med school, not just any school but one of the best in the world. Both do KZbin. Small age gap. Statistical inference suggests the likelihood of them not dating is less than 5 sigma.

[@DrToothDoctor]

So blessed you get to do cool collabs with friends! Wish I knew some youtubers too ❤

[@littelmoon23]

yarr i'm agree with ali your YT have heart and souls ❤❤thank izzy for your hardwork to brings values n happiness to us 😊😊

Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!

[@Afrovazi]

Such content give me so much motivation.. Because of your content I have just launched my first video and can't wait to grow and be a better person as an individual. Thank you 😊

[@KomuFrank]

ION you guys look amazing together. This is the 2nd video am watching this combo and the energy is off the charts ☺

[@sabaffira]

Congratulations to a lovely couple!

[@silicon_mind]

What a lovely video! Inspiring to watch while slowly and hopefully placing my first steps on that YT journey! Can fully confirm PTYA is awesome to help you wrap your head around all those concepts which you dive into all at once. Also a fantastic space to start making connections with other creators which is incredibly helpful and motivating + you'll learn something from everyone around you!

[@AlienaCai]

Izzy, KZbin has also changed my life as a product designer. I'd love to see if you have a template for your business journal? This business journal is an idea that sounds super useful and fun! Would love to see you talking about your business journal!

[@thelifewithnate]

A very interesting concept! I started my KZbin channel more as an experiment to teach other people how to build a community around an interest that they have in their life and then monetize it potentially. It draws on my own personal experience, but it is also a video journal of sorts that I want to get into. I find it fascinating about the progression of the different levels, I am definitely still in Level 1 which is to get going with it and produce more videos for the public to enjoy! Cheers!

[@trixjoyce]

Oh, I really like this discussion of emotional challenges of KZbin because it hits so close to home for me. I´m still a micro youtuber, but I feel like I have grown so much from youtube even if I have a tiny small youtube channel. It started to get better when I stopped procrastinate clicking publish and just did not think too much. Now I feel like I´m building a community. It might be small and tiny, but it means a lot to me. All other youtubers are talking about gears and cameras, but I like the fact that you two touch on the emotional side of youtube!

[@Tari338]

Great video and you both look so relaxed :)

[@patrickmcevoy3257]

Hay doc welcome back it has been a good while since I saw ur channel i saw ur channel on starting a u tube channel not for me I injoy watching u I saw ur channel on languages that one I injoyed anyway nice to see you back hope your doctoring is going well it's late but happy 2024 I have been learning Japanese for about a month one day I want to go to Japan thank you

Finally after 1 month, am glad to see the notification. Hi Dr Izzy, I miss you. Thank you for having this conversation with Ali and talking about How to Start a Life Changing KZbin Channel. Have a nice day! 🧡

[@janissevalenzuela]

Why are these two not dating, they are a perfect match!!! Two former medical students turned into KZbinrs!!! Perfect pair!!!! -- their online engagement would go up if they were a couple!!!!

[@sandrad8291]

Cause he’s too shy! 🙈 I’ve been married almost 20 years, I know the sings 😉

[@rishandprish]

🎉 Well done Dr. Izzy!

[@MONEYWISEDOCTOR]

As a doctor, I can totally relate to those initial jitters about putting myself out there. The fear of judgment from patients and colleagues can be quite overwhelming. But you know what? Ali's wisdom hit home for me too: "Nobody cares!" It's been three months since I hit that publish button, and while I'm still in the get going stages, I've already reached a thousand subscribers. Whenever that fear creeps in, I just remember that powerful mantra - nobody cares! Thanks Drs Izzy and Ali for a fantastic and inspiring video

[@davidc4408]

Different from Ali as he is his own boss

[@MONEYWISEDOCTOR]

@@davidc4408 Yes, I agree, but he didn't start out as his own boss. I am now my own boss as well but I didn't start out that way. I am nowhere near Ali or Izzy, though, and yes as I found out, nobody still cares

[@MONEYWISEDOCTOR]

@@davidc4408 Sorry, didnt realise my initial comment came though. I agree with you. It is very different when you are your own boss. Having now left my salaried job, I have found greater flexibility, and I am able to do a bit more. Just like Ali, I didn't start out as my own boss either. Of course, this may not be possible for everyone at the beginning. Thanks for your insight

[@davidc4408]

@@MONEYWISEDOCTOR The thing is when you are running your own business, as long as you do not do anything major controversial, then you can run how you like and there are no bosses or colleagues do judge (Alis case they are on payroll and just giving advice and helping him build his empire). Been a doctor for NHS you are always regulated, have hierarchy, colleagues and patients that could affect your career. So you never have that true freedom like Ali.

[@MONEYWISEDOCTOR]

@@davidc4408 That's true. We all have to start somewhere. Like Ali started while still working as a Junior Dr. So we all have to start somewhere

The Part Time KZbinr Academy was very helpful! I'm struggling with my first video as we speak but, as you put, I need to just GET GOING.

[@thelifewithnate]

Just go for it! Like quite literally, I was debating whether or not to even get the Part-Time KZbinr Academy, but the thing is that you need to start producing videos and be consistent with it. I literally started mine more than a week ago and it shows, lol. The videos suck, there is no little to no editing, but you learn a ton! Keep going brother, we got this!

[@speedytheporcupine]

Awesome collab between my two favorite productivity youtubers!! Wonderful insights and way to go Izzy!! 🎉👍

Great Collaboration and Team work! ❤ My passion and reason for being on KZbin keeps growing on the laid foundation

Hey Ali! you had mentioned that you were doing vlog in Cambodia 🇰🇭 wow. You know I've watched your video since 2021 it was the pandemic time. I am your big fan from Cambodia🇰🇭

[@sirtorchington]

I'm gonna be honest - and idk if it seems this way because these two gorgeous intelligent people already have their following and have chilled out a bit - but it's mind blowing to me how well adjusted they both seem. To the point where it's like yes, I totally understand the one-foot-in-front-of-the-other approach, but these two have this focus and serenity about their demeanor that I absolutely am nowhere near lol. And I have no idea how to remedy it - I've only figured out how to just put a bandaid for a little while. If anyone has tips about becoming a more focused person without a state of constant panic and worry that no one is gonna care about my art/music/videos/anything no matter what, please reply to this I could use some help.

[@mo-akif]

Lol I get it. Here's what you do: get a time machine, convince your parents to eat healthy before conception so you get good genetics, convince them to love you growing up so you don't need as much validation from others later, then have great teachers who encourage you to improve growing up, explore your interests, and develop your brain even further. Get plenty of social validation from peers growing up by being good at something and/or attractive. Also eat healthy, exercise, get sunlight, and enough sleep. Then grow up and make art/music/videos. It's really that easy.
