My Name Is Nikolai
Hey! I’m Nikolai Paquin. I am a creative, history nerd, and YouTuber who teaches how to become more successful in business, life, and relationships by studying history.
Becoming more successful starts by deconstructing the success of the past, and creating new systems that work for modern life.
