Well, hello everyone. It's a pleasure to be here and to have this conversation about changing the culture of money And this is a conversation I've been privileged to be in with Derek Morgan for the past close to two years since we first connected and We're excited to really get to stage that in a live way for everyone today So Derek can you start off and share a little bit about how you entered this conversation about the culture of money? And where you've taken that into the land of impact investing Yeah, sure. So first off happy to be here. Thank you all for coming out so I just finished up a nine-year career in the NFL playing with the Tennessee Titans and it was a career in which I went through a lot of transitions a lot of changes and The one thing that I did not want to have regret about when I hung them up was did I take advantage of my time in the league? did I maximize my influence on my platform and I was always analyzing like was I doing enough You know, I was doing the football camps and the back-to-school drives and I was just like man Is this really making a dent and it wasn't I go back to my hometown in coastal, Pennsylvania And everything still looks the same in which the way I left it 10 15 years ago And so, you know, I kind of started on this quest of trying to figure out how I can be more intentional about making an impact in my communities and started to really educate myself watched the documentary called the 13th and It really went into the private prison industry of probably a lot of you in the audience have seen it And I was completely oblivious to this. I had no idea that my money in my You know ETFs and funds could be unknowingly invested in these companies core civic geo group And I'm like that didn't sit right with me And so I called my advisor and I was like hey John make sure I'm not in any of these companies And he said you're good, but to me that was alarming. I was you know, not really taking an active role in my finances I was doing all this stuff over here on the philanthropic side and doing the charity and the donations But my private capital was in a completely different bucket And so I started to really educate myself watch that picked up a book called real impact who the author is right here by the way and You know just read that and it really opened my eyes to this industry of impact investing When I first heard of it, I was like, oh, that's just another fancy word for charity And the more and more I read this book it started to Enlighten me and so I reached out to Morgan on Twitter through email and I was like, hey, we need to get together and talk I want to learn more and She hit me back like right away and she flew out the Nashville We sat down and spoke for about five hours in some hotel lobby and she was just really just scolding me on it and I was just asking so many questions and She really started this started the process of of educating me and and giving me a new understanding of what this meant And that was a really exciting day in the office You know, we're sitting around at Candid group in Oakland and huh this subject line interest from NFL player Okay, cool. Let's see what this is about But it fit in really well with our broader interest in changing the culture of money and in general Candid group works with families foundations and increasingly athletes and cultural influencers who want their money working for justice and Really what we often say is that we have one client that client is social justice and if you want your money working for that client then we're happy to help you invest and In the past six years since we started the firm myself and a near Ben and me We've supported investments in over 70 companies and funds and we deploy about 30 million dollars into impact deals a year And as proud of that as we might be We also know that there's 96 trillion in global capital markets And that means that we are barely making a dent in the incredible Opportunity that we have to change how money is working in the world and that's why we got interested in this question of culture You know I grew up in Los Angeles and in the late 90s Where SUVs and big gas-guzzling cars were a big deal, right? And then Leonardo DiCaprio bought a Prius and a couple other celebrities bought Priuses and all of a sudden this like ugly Dorky looking car became incredibly cool, right? And we were thinking how could you have that same moment for money, right? How could you make the idea that your legacy is not just about how much money that you made or you know now? We're based in Oakland. So Tupac is a local hero, you know You made a dollar today, but you don't have to do it in a sleazy way, right to paraphrase him and essentially that When we think about building a legacy for our children for our grandchildren We don't want to say I built wealth for you by locking up someone else's family Or by harming someone else's family or by making the planet a place where you can no longer live, right? So that's really been a driving force for me How do we shift that culture of money and that's something that we've really been able to work on together and Derek You've been doing phenomenal work in in really establishing your legacy in shifting your portfolio and then also leveraging your influence So it's wondering if you could share some of the investments that you've been making. Yeah, so From the conversation that me and Morgan had I really started to look intentionally at my finances And I would call my advisor and like hey Do you guys have impact investing products? He's like, yeah, let me check into that Derek and he sent me an email back like a week later And it had like McDonald's and like American Express and I was like no this ain't what I'm looking for bro And so I'm like Morgan like let's continue this conversation. And so slowly, but surely They started to share their their deal flow with me and we started to really just kind of do due diligence on companies and like talk through investment opportunities and so I slowly but surely started to transition my whole portfolio in the market into more Meaningful investments that align with my values like I understood I understood where this dollar was going And so it's companies like bitwise and which you know gives Technology training to underserved communities and jobs and so that to me was something tangible Okay, that's a gateway as a pathway to success and escaping one circumstances in a negative way So that was something that meant a lot to me and it resonated another company is a macro and they tell stories of you know Minority positive stories of minorities and so it's all about changing the narrative on a lot of these things and so minorities have been cast in a negative light and a lot of film and so this is one objective of their main objective of their company and so that made sense to me and so Really, I've been you know in my my last couple of years in the league I turned into more of like an evangelist in the locker room and talking to guys like hey like yeah you're doing these football camps over here, but did you have you ever heard of impact investing and They're like nah, that's charity, right? I'm like no it's actually not and it's kind of relevant because this was like around the same time that Kaepernick was kneeling and all the NFL protests were going on and so we were talking about all the issues the mass incarceration the the police brutality and all these things Which are symptoms of what the actual issues are in these communities and like what are different ways that we can be proactive about it And we weren't really talking about that a whole lot and so for me It was I felt like an obligation almost to start a start to play a role of being an advocate for this industry and to really educate people I came in contact with And one of the initiatives that we've done together from that perspective is Connected to the nonprofit arm of Candid group called real money moves where we've been bringing together athletes artists Actors and everyday activists who want to learn more about how they can make their money Work for justice and we'd started on this question of private prisons It was right around the time that family detention was really kicking off and given that over 70% of immigrant detainees Are in private prisons you have this Bizarre incentive right to lock up more people in order to make more money and knowing that particularly a lot of folks within the Players coalition or otherwise did not want to be making money off of this phenomena So we organized together over 30 athletes and actors largely cast members of oranges a new black Who wanted to make sure that their money was out of private prisons? And then a select few also committed 10 million to social investing and we felt that that divest Invest side was really important so that we're not just playing the whack-a-mole of divestment right of like which company is Going to do some terrible stuff today But if you're invested socially 100% of the time then you just don't have to worry about that Right you can sleep much better at night, and that's why we put out a series of educational videos and a lot of social media presence together Of how everybody can make their money work for justice whether you have $10 or $100 and I know the lot of folks within the impact investment community have been curious of how do you Partner better with athletes, and I'm wondering if you could share, you know some tips on how people can think about that Yeah, so it's a unique dynamic that professional athletes face in terms of Having such of an intensive career where you don't have a lot of availability to really Explore other things like a lot of guys just go home and play video games and watch Netflix and I was the same way The first few years of my career I had kids now end it But it's like you got to have an access point, and I saw I think that different things like a documentary or different ways in which you know We can play on a conversation that's going on around family detention At the at the border and you know a mass incarceration that resonates with guys they see that but then it's like hey You know let's play off of that But like there's an action item athletes are action oriented people that they got to see a target if you can see that target We can hit it and so for this it was very easy to explain to my teammates to say hey look Y'all see what's going on in the news like it's a black person getting killed every day It's a lot of people getting locked up like what can we do? This is one thing tangible thing which we could do and so that translated well And so in terms of like the accessibility that's one way you can kind of like shorten the learning curve for a lot of these things and Really understanding like the availability I mean I know I wasn't the easiest to get a hold of during this campaign But like it's almost like working around the athlete's schedule as bad as that sounds out loud But it's like you got to accommodate for that because it's a huge resource like social capital and I feel like we've been Untapped in that respect people come to us to write checks, right? But not a lot of people come for us to say hey Do you want to be the face of a of a private prison divestment strategy like that's powerful? And so the more that we can leverage that social capital the better And so I think that more and more guys are waking up to that fact and more and more people Are starting to capitalize on that Absolutely, it's true. I'm to be honest. I live in Oakland. We're warriors people I didn't know much about the NFL, but I knew every Titan schedule To make sure we were talking on the right days and making that conversation really accessible And I think that in general that something is a field that we don't often think about is accessibility And when we think about you know that word or in the context of disability rights, right? of what does accessibility mean for a community and that means how do we make sure that everyone gets to participate in a certain space and Ultimately at the end of the day, I see a lot of my work as being an educator and 80% of my time within that right is in doing investment work of educating Heinewerth families and foundations on how they can make investments in great companies But over time about 20% of my time has been translated into trying to really reach Millions of people and whether that's as a Forbes contributor and writing about the money story behind the story write the idea that Every story has some financial connection whatever social issue you might care about and the fact that the public doesn't often see those Connections makes it harder for us to be economic activists to see opportunities to really take charge and make a difference And that's where as part of the families blonde together coalition We've been working hard on taking money out of the private prison system, and then I've been writing pretty prolifically about this in Forbes Which caught the attention of Elizabeth Warren of Alexandria Ocasio-Cartez, right? Who've been retweeting the work and really getting this out to a much broader audience, which has been phenomenal And at the same time I'm keenly aware that not everyone is even going to read an article, right? That we're busy in the morning. We're trying to read the newspaper get our work out in get our breakfast get out the door And that's part of why a project that I've been working on and excited to launch for Thanksgiving It's called woke out and it's combining political news with a great workout. So think sit-ups in Syria Push-ups in private prisons Intervals and impeachment right that we can get these sort of workouts and information you can clap. It's okay. It's all right And I know that some people might say, oh, that's not serious. You're an investor What do you do and do in that sort of thing? And yes, that is pedagogy of the oppressed. Thank you very much How did your body get like that? That would probably break my kneecap I mean, I only had to hold it long enough for the shot to be clear But I think it's really important to say we need to meet people where we are at and it means that and where they are at Right and it might be that a couple thousand people participate in the so-cap conversation But millions of people are looking for interval training videos, right? So how do we activate those folks and how do we make sure that we have people who have that financial knowledge? Getting out into the popular conversation Helping people understand the money story behind the story And I think that that is the sort of opportunity that we all have here today to really embrace And I want to note that as Derek has been entering his next steps, right? And after having a very successful nine-year career in the NFL moving on to his next platform has also been about enhancing accessibility in Creating Kingdoms so if you could share a little bit about that that would be great. Yeah, so I was telling Morgan the offline basically there's like this unique nature in the NFL Where it's so highly competitive and everybody's fighting for a roster spot That the collaboration factor is always missing and so we are doing good work But in silos and so for me like My mission statement one of my mission statements in life is to to use my platform to create equity and opportunities for those who don't have it And so that's a lot of what I've been doing on my own But Kingdom is just basically an extension of that doing these efforts but at a larger scale and Finding a way in which we can collaborate and create communities like this of like-minded peoples to attack the world's Biggest problems and so we launched an opportunity zone fund and you know really When I started reading about opportunity zones. I wasn't a big fan of them. I just thought that okay. This is just another incentive for gentrification displacement and The more and more I thought about it. I'm like, you know, this is going to happen with or without me So I might as well step up and and and do my part and play my role and You know use these different You know theologies around Creating empowerment access empathy inclusiveness and ownership within these communities I look on a map and everywhere I've ever lived is an opportunity zone So for me, I was like, oh, well, this is a great tool to get people to care about Coatesville, Pennsylvania Nobody in this room probably has ever heard of Coatesville, Pennsylvania Wow, okay. We got to talk after this I've got some projects going on but um It's uh, it's a tool right so a way to get people to care about investing into these communities But done in the right way. It's all about how you engage with the community not top down But bottom up and so kingdom is just an extension of kind of some of the things I've been doing on my own But at a larger scale Absolutely So at the end of the day, you know, not only do we have the same name But we're becoming more and more like each other all the time as we're making sure to merge those conversations between cultural influencers and impact investors Yeah, and just to close out. I would say that you know If you're wherever you guys are located in your communities like a we got to get very creative and continue to advocate and evangelize For the impact investment space like this needs to be the standard It can't just continue to be some taboo thing that only a select group of people know about and b would be to Look at the different influencers whether it be athletes celebrities or Whoever in which you may have access to or one or two degrees of separation away from to tap that resource Like we have social capital that we can leverage For the good of others and if done in the right way, it's powerful And so I would definitely encourage you all to take that upon yourselves as you leave and continue to do the great work that you've been doing Thank you so much

Hey everybody, no, don't adjust your dials, we're back, it's been quite the 48 hours, let me tell you, maybe even a bit longer, because I'm not specifically aware of when exactly it happened, but my channel, Nintendo Prime, got hacked, I know how it was hacked and I'll get into how it happened, and I have a lot of thoughts on the process in dealing with YouTube, or the lack of dealing with YouTube, it's a really confusing process from, I don't know, is Google now a trillion dollar company? I don't know, they're one of the biggest companies in the world, so it feels a little inexcusable that it's this difficult. Now we are back and that is good, and you know, if you don't want to watch this whole video and see what happened and maybe if it happens to you what you can do about it, then just know that hey we're gonna have some news videos, probably at least one news video maybe coming later today, I know this isn't the greatest angle, not everything set up correctly right now, I mentioned in some prior videos I'm doing some work around the studio, so it is what it is, but I wanted to appear on camera for this video because this has been maybe some of my most stressful days as a YouTuber, and this includes when YouTube actually took $4,000 from my channel last year, we'll maybe talk about that a bit too because I don't know that it's related, although I'll explain the customer service situation there. That being said, there are some people wondering, you know, what's happening with the giveaways, so I did a stream where I gave away new copies of games, it's gonna be a bit before I get to some of those games to give away, I apologize to those who won, this situation caused even a freeze on one of my bank accounts, it's really been a pretty messed up thing, so that being said, let's get into what happened and what this means moving forward and yeah, we'll just, let's just get into this. So I think it was two days ago, at this point maybe it's three of my days of running together, I haven't had a lot of sleep, my channel was hacked, I didn't know what happened, I suddenly woke up after getting my kids on the bus and everything, got a whole bunch of messages on Twitter and Discord, because we do have a Discord server, I'll link it down in the description, and I'll link my Twitter as well because by the way, I do a lot of direct communication on Twitter and Discord, not as much on YouTube because it's not really that kind of platform, so I got a bunch of notifications that, hey your channel's hacked, hey what happened, hey hey hey, and I had no idea what was going on and then we saw this, this is at least one image I have of it, my channel was renamed to Shiba INU, yeah, and there was a live stream going on that at least the last I saw it, it's been deleted, was at 180,000 views and this live stream went on for 7.5 hours and featured Elon Musk and it's actually a spam video, it is a cryptocurrency illegal video, I hope nobody fell for the cryptocurrency thing, I literally hope none of you watched that stream and thought anything they said mattered, for those who don't know, Elon Musk actually is aware of this specific video, because it's happened on a number of hacked YouTube accounts and he's actually offered up a public $25,000 reward for any information that leads to the discovery of the people who created this so he could obviously sue them to oblivion and all that jazz and make them pay for misrepresenting himself, because what he said in there has nothing to do with the actual cryptocurrency situation, so that's fine, good on Elon Musk, one of the smartest and richest guys in the world, but what does a small YouTuber like me do about this, my immediate reaction is obviously let me log back into my account or go through account recovery and deal with that, so I tried to do account recovery myself without talking to anybody at YouTube and of course it didn't work, I kept saying my devices didn't belong to me, they changed the recovery email, they changed the recovery phone number and made it impossible for me to get back into my account, which I thought was interesting because it used to be, this is how it used to work on YouTube, when I changed my account recovery email, it required me to verify at that email address that it was being changed, but YouTube apparently changed somewhere along the lines where you no longer have to verify your email change, so without verifying that change, they could just freely change it to anything they wanted and I can't get access back, again YouTube used to not be this way, I know because this channel used to be under a different email account before I moved it to my Nintendo Prime email and yeah there was a bunch of verifications required for the backup email address, so it's weird to me that now four years since I did that, that now you don't have to verify email changes, this would actually go a long way to me not needing to get YouTube involved in this situation because then I could manually recover my account, unfortunately YouTube doesn't force requirements or confirmations at the old email address for email changes, so this is where we are today, now moving me on whole of that, I obviously immediately went to account recovery, there is a form on account recovery that you can fill out, I filled out the form with the information I had, but the funny thing about the account recovery form is it's not exactly easy to find, they don't have, you know, you go to the Google YouTube help section on their website and it doesn't really get you to the proper form very easily, so I thought I filled out the right form, turns out I didn't, so I didn't know what to do, here I am, no way to do a live chat because live chat functions are locked behind an account I can't get access to, so I can't live chat for help and I can't do anything about getting a proper form submitted or so I thought anyways to get help, in addition to this there's no customer service number and there's no true path to understand who to talk to about getting your account back, if you get your account hacked it's a scary thing because you don't know what to do, so I reached out to of all the YouTube channels on Twitter and I knew to reach out specifically to at Team YouTube because last year we actually dealt with a situation where my channel was blowing up over Super Mario 3D All Stars, some of you might have even subscribed back then and according to them you're all bots and they took $4,000 in revenue away from the channel claiming that all my views were bots, even though on my end all of the evidence I have for all those views was from the recommended page by YouTube so it appearing on the homepage and being recommended to people is so is how I got all the viewership that month but they claimed it came from an outside website aka I bought it which I didn't do so that makes literally no sense to me but whatever I dealt with the slow of the slowness of the responses and the emails and all that and honestly it all started by actually getting a hold of at Team YouTube on Twitter I can't remember who suggested that I reach out to at Team YouTube at the time I did that and yeah to long story short I never got that money back it was a really crappy time I even got demonetized for a little bit it was so stupid but life moves on so I knew because of that situation that you know what reach out to at Team YouTube on Twitter they actually usually respond at least within the same day and I encourage a bunch of people to retweet and help me get their attention because they obviously have you know millions of potential creators you know on Twitter you know DMing them and and all that stuff so trying to get through the crowd usually requires a lot of pings from the same channel so they got a hold of me through DM and we exchanged some details and then they got me to the proper forum and then apologized for the form being so difficult to find they said it's something this particular person responding to me actually mentioned it's something they're aware of and trying to do better with but whatever so I fill out the form and then you're just stuck waiting right because the form is basically a thing that's going to send all your information that you have about your channel and about what happened to a generalized email address that is probably got thousands if not millions of emails in and you basically just sit and wait your term for someone to get around to it and respond so that's that right couldn't really do much else so in the meantime I decided obviously we need to rectify how the hackers got in now I cannot confirm with 100% certainty this is how it happened I'm just fairly confident it is so for those who don't know I this studio this is at home and I often leave my computer on because it does updates and all that while I sleep and sometimes my children wake up before me and decide to come into my office usually to try to grab my switch or something like that but they usually don't have any interest in touching my computer but this particular night I happen to leave my email open now email being open isn't that big a deal one of my children can't even read and the other kids have no idea what any of the emails mean so I I don't really think much of it so there is that's like the extent of my mistake left my computer on and left my email open but someone was clicking around in my email I know this because there was a bunch of emails that were unread suddenly were read and one particular email was open that I was 99.9% sure was a fishing attempt I don't click on links from places that I don't know even if the place sounds legit and in this case the place was banned labs which is a real application but also could entirely be spyware on its own I don't know so the thing is my children I firmly believe clicked on the link in that email and ergo the hackers gained access to my computer and were able to get a cache file I found this out by the way from another youtuber thank you so much by the way there was a number of even large youtubers reaching out to me in private I'm not just wishing me good luck but you know ones that went through similar situations that have a better understanding of how this happened so I can help prevent it so the thing is there's a cash file logged on your computer if you're logged into YouTube that's a master cache with that cash file anyone can log into your YouTube channel doesn't matter how many authentication methods you have because if you're currently actively logged in at the time yeah and I wasn't by the way at the time that they clicked on this fishing link I wasn't actively logged in but clicking on that link obviously put something on my computer that you know you call the key logger but it really wasn't logging keys it was going through specifically to find a certain cash file for my YouTube channel so then that that day when I logged into YouTube but bam they got the cash file so I went through the the authentication myself to log in and then but as soon as I did they had that cash file now they didn't go at it right away probably realizing that I just logged into the account so if they attempted to hack instantly I would have noticed and and got the channel shut down really super quick but they waited basically until I there was no activity on the account and then yeah took it over what which meant I wasn't at my computer anymore so that's how they got it my response that is I completely wiped my computer I did some malware and elder sweeps and stuff but it didn't really turn up anything which by the way you can have malware and key loggers that aren't discoverable in a traditional way you can go through you know it they can embed themselves and programs on your computer and anyways the point is I wiped my entire computer into a fresh install of Windows 11 so yeah there shouldn't be any loggers anymore literally all my hard drives were wiped the hard part about making a decision to wipe all my hard drives because I have like seven of them is I lose pretty much everything that isn't on this laptop and because of the compromise nature of the desktop I was not willing to take any files off of that computer and put them on here so there are some files I'm missing right now as an example you guys want the background to my youtube channel right the the image that says you know says the channel name and tells you the things we do yeah that was all on the desktop and I was unwilling to grab any file anything off of that computer imported on here so if it wasn't already on here I no longer have it so all my raw footage is gone all of my stuff for the stream that the stream next blank it's all gone all my sightings for it voice mods gone you know that there's just a lot all my all my video files all my stream files so I can't even set up my live streams the way I used to have them everything is gone because I didn't have backups off of that computer now I had redundant backups on the computer I had backups on two different hard drives but again for the sake of being safe I was unwilling to get the files off of that computer maybe that was overkill but since I didn't know exactly where this thing was on the computer I wanted to wipe everything I wanted no risk after getting my channel back that they could just take it again because that would be pointless and we'd just be in a loop with YouTube where they just keep calling me idiot for allowing this to happen okay so I get an email response from them 12 hours later and this is like in the middle of the night like 3 a.m. and I just happened to still be awake because I when I was waiting for a response to I'm super stressed out at this point because this live stream was going for seven and a half hours I was losing lots of subscribers my channel was gone I had no access to it I knew the stream itself was something that was illegal and I had no other way to deal with this no nobody at YouTube telling me this is gonna be okay even people telling me that they've dealt with this in the past not everyone was confident it would be okay because there were people that got hacked that never got their channel back so I was literally left in limbo not knowing what was gonna happen so I get the email and they basically say look we locked down the account and here's how you can recover it went through the recovery process which was a bit more painful I think than it would be or so I didn't realize this I don't know when YouTube told me this by the way there's a master document inside your account that gives you like 10 of these codes apparently and you can hard recover any account if you have these 10 codes now they can only be used once and once they're all used you don't have them anymore I didn't realize that those codes even existed it was never communicated to me and I've read all the licensing agreements when I signed up for YouTube thing is does you sign up for YouTube like a decade ago before he was owned by Google's I have no idea about these master codes whatever I have the list of master codes now but it was it was anyways so it was a bit of a pain to get the combat but then it was all good I thought everything was fine I went to the channel I changed the name back I changed the profile picture back I you know notice that they actually took a majority of my channel and said it's unlisted so I set all those videos back to public which for some ungodly reason led to YouTube sending out thousands of notifications to everyone who was subscribed and then deordering my videos in fact right now I think my videos are still out of order for most of you they're in order for me and I think they're out of order for everybody else and that's to me is just ridiculous that that's how that happened these videos were already published before why are they getting new notifications sent out and YouTube are you telling me if I'm not getting notifications sent out for a video I should just unlist it then send it public again is this really how your system works because if so that seems a little ridiculous to me but whatever that's neither here nor there so here I thought everything was fine we got a few things set up on the channel and I went to bed because it was like 4 a.m. at this point and I'm exhausted so I wake up when you get my my children off the school and then decide to go deal with some stuff around 9 or 10 o'clock and all of a sudden oh my channel is gone I go to log in your channel has been terminated no communication from YouTube by the way and why I was terminated they confirmed I was hacked literally like you know six hours earlier they confirmed that my account was hacked they know it happened they helped me recover it and then poof took the channel away with no communication on why or what to do so I knew that there isn't a way to appeal terminations there is a form that you can Google and fill out basically search and fill out for channel terminations and to dispute them I did that the problem is every time I went to submit the form because it's all automated yeah they don't have any way they won't basically won't let my form get submitted they kept claiming my Nathan at nintendoprime.net email was not associated with the Google account never mind the fact that email is a Google account because it's a business email through Gmail so I thought that was weird so again I was kind of left in no man's land not knowing what the hell I'm supposed to do so again knowing that I do get a response from at Team YouTube I reached out to them they took a few hours to get back to me on Twitter and they told me oh man that really sucks that shouldn't have happened I suggest since that form is because they initially sent me that form I told them it doesn't work for me and they said well then we suggest emailing back the people who contacted you originally about the account thing which was a just a generalized email and then to tell them what happened so I did so a day later they finally respond and they asked for some details they say oh we're sorry that happened and they go into some more details essentially the reason the channel got terminated was automated the hackers attempted to get back into the account now they failed to get back into the account because the master cash file they had before was no longer valid because the information in the cash file had changed I have a different password now which I don't even know what it is that's how complicated the password is the last password was really complicated to and took me a long time to memorize but whatever so the passwords really complicated the backup the the two-factor authentication is no longer an app on my phone it's a direct text message to my phone and obviously I changed the backup email and everything so the thing is they told me that the hackers attempted to get back in could not get back in and that tripped their automated system to terminate my account suspicious activity sure let's just terminate even though we have communication that it was anyways neither here nor there and they asked me for more information to verify I am who I say I am the funny thing is the information they're asking for is information I already given them to recover my account in the first place so why do I need to give them the exact same information again I didn't understand this process it made no sense to me I clearly confirmed at my backup email that I am who I am already that's how I got the account back so why do the same people do I have to reconfirm that information and then wait again for a long email so four hours pass and then early this morning they sent me another email in this email they said thanks for the information will pass us to our internal team and get back to you well they still haven't gotten back to me but the channels back originally when the channel came back I didn't have access to it now I do I don't really know what's happening they could rip my access away at any moment because they might determine that hey you know this is the hacker again I I don't know all this to say I've been very stressed out not knowing what was gonna happen all I know is I've been very stressed out over the last two days pulling hair you could talk to my fiance about it sometimes she ever comes on she can let you know how stressful it's been I just started you know the second half of my semester in college right now so I didn't need this kind of stress I didn't need to wipe my computer because I also had school files on there that I no longer have because I can't trust them so I lost homework progress this week it's just been it's been a really rough thing and what sucked is one of these days of the day that the hacking happened was the day my mom was taking the kids after school and taking them overnight so it was supposed to be a stress-free time unfortunately it turned out to be the exact opposite I'm assuming everything's fine and I get it set up I will do a live stream tonight and we'll chat about things even further in more detail all I have to say is that YouTube you need to be able to do better it I take full responsibility for how I got hacked I definitely need to shut down my computer at night even though I like having the updates done in the morning because sometimes they take hours to do whatever I will definitely shut down my computer in the future my kids don't even know how to log on my computer once that happens so that'll take care of that so it doesn't happen again I just I'm frustrated okay with YouTube this is something that could have been solved in a three-minute phone call how does a multi-billion trillion dollar company not have a better way to communicate with them by the way communicate on a platform where I make them money for those who don't know they take 30% of everything well they take 50% of ad revenue so whatever I make they made the same amount on their side so when I'm having a really good month so is YouTube and then they also take 30% of super chat revenue so for those who don't know YouTube takes a cut of everything so I'm paying them now I understand it's their site their services they don't charge me to be here but I'm paying them lots of money making them lots of money and in return this is the customer service experience for a content creator now yes if I was a bigger channel I probably would have got serviced quicker which shouldn't be the case but is all they would need to do is have a call center where people could call in and I understand the call center would be flooded I understand to be hours away I you know what guess what I had to wait three hours on the phone for customer service from Samsung and I did it and I was glad that at the end of that three hours I talked to a real human it makes a difference Google everything can't be automated I love technology and automation can help in some cases like sure have your forms and all that and have that be automated but you should have a way to contact customer support directly and actually talk to a human you know how much less hassle there would be and how much quicker you would solve people's inquiries a three minute phone call I guarantee you there was more than three minutes spent reading emails and sending them back and forth to solve all of this and obviously dealing with multiple people of the YouTube team including on their social media channel like guys just let me call I'll wait all day if I have to but at least at the end when I talked to a human this would have been solved like that no problem no termination no no up count contact oh now your account's gone none of this none of this stress needed to exist if you would have just let me call and talk to you all right folks I'm Nathan Robojans from Nintendo Prime yes some giveaways are still going on people want to know about the Metroid Dread stuff might be pushing back build the final entry date for that yet we'll see what happens because as I mentioned earlier at some I want my bank account got locked up from this because after they got access to that I didn't know what else they got access to because I had payment details on YouTube so I locked up my bank and my bank is going to take like two weeks before it unlocks and I have to get new cards and it's just a it was it was a precaution I did I did it to prevent fraud I needed to protect myself and my family of course so that's why I can't like there's some people who won like Mario Party today I can't get it to you because I don't have access to the bank to pay for it sorry should be rectified here in a couple weeks but yeah we're still doing our giveaways everything's gonna be fine we're gonna return to normal around here and I hopefully after today I never need to talk about this again but it was not a fun situation moving forward I do have a second channel called Nathaniel Rumpel Jants I will link that down in the description that's just my name go subscribe to that YouTube did tell me that if this happens again they're not gonna take out a second channel I have so if we can grow a second channel alongside this one that gives me another place to give updates to more directly than you know making you guys follow on Twitter and stuff obviously you're here on YouTube you enjoy YouTube so go subscribe to that channel I can do updates there and videos there who knows maybe if it gets enough subscribers maybe I make separate content there that's separate from Nintendo stuff but thank you guys for all the support and all the kind words there's only been a few jerks out there trying to like poke at me and so some of our followers know who those jerks are that were that were trying to you know pile on me while I'm down but we're back and as far as I know everything's back to normal sort of not in studio because I lost everything but alright thank you guys catch you in the next video
