00:00:00,380  -->  00:00:03,850
When you become incredibly successful over YouTube
2

2

00:00:03,850  -->  00:00:05,950
and you start making a lot of money,
3

3

00:00:05,950  -->  00:00:07,430
people are gonna come after you.
4

4

00:00:07,430  -->  00:00:09,010
It's just human nature. It's awful.
5

5

00:00:09,010  -->  00:00:10,910
It is what it is.
6

6

00:00:10,910  -->  00:00:13,700
And so, once you start generating a significant
7

7

00:00:13,700  -->  00:00:16,370
amount of revenue from YouTube ads
8

8

00:00:16,370  -->  00:00:19,290
or other YouTube-related resources, please,
9

9

00:00:19,290  -->  00:00:21,020
please register your company name.
10

10

00:00:21,020  -->  00:00:24,500
Now I'm not a lawyer, but what you can do is
11

11

00:00:24,500  -->  00:00:27,750
you can go to legalzoom.com and do research there,
12

12

00:00:27,750  -->  00:00:31,180
and talk to a lawyer for 30 bucks for a half hour call.
13

13

00:00:31,180  -->  00:00:32,920
I'm not affiliated with any product or brand,
14

14

00:00:32,920  -->  00:00:35,620
I don't get compensated for ever mentioning that stuff,
15

15

00:00:35,620  -->  00:00:36,590
but I care.
16

16

00:00:36,590  -->  00:00:39,440
I care, and this is a little side note here,
17

17

00:00:39,440  -->  00:00:41,510
but when I was younger,
18

18

00:00:41,510  -->  00:00:43,090
I think I was seven or eight-years-old,
19

19

00:00:43,090  -->  00:00:44,760
I lived in Mississauga, Canada.
20

20

00:00:44,760  -->  00:00:45,910
And that's where I am right now by the way,
21

21

00:00:45,910  -->  00:00:48,800
I'm walking in the forest by my parents' apartment here,
22

22

00:00:48,800  -->  00:00:51,260
by University of Toronto Erindale branch.
23

23

00:00:51,260  -->  00:00:53,630
But when I grew up in Mississauga,
24

24

00:00:53,630  -->  00:00:55,750
I remember one day I came home
25

25

00:00:55,750  -->  00:00:58,350
and our next door neighbors,
26

26

00:00:58,350  -->  00:01:01,940
the kids were about my age and my older brother Jamie's age,
27

27

00:01:01,940  -->  00:01:05,100
and they were sitting on the front porch,
28

28

00:01:05,100  -->  00:01:06,110
and it was cold.
29

29

00:01:06,110  -->  00:01:08,040
It was Canada. It was the winter.
30

30

00:01:08,040  -->  00:01:10,827
And I said to them, "What's going on?
31

31

00:01:10,827  -->  00:01:11,817
"Why are you in short sleeves?
32

32

00:01:11,817  -->  00:01:12,650
"Why don't you go inside?
33

33

00:01:12,650  -->  00:01:14,450
"Why don't you come to our house?"
34

34

00:01:14,450  -->  00:01:16,240
And they said, "We can't get in."
35

35

00:01:16,240  -->  00:01:17,407
And I said, "What do you mean, you can't get in?
36

36

00:01:17,407  -->  00:01:18,820
"Just open the door."
37

37

00:01:18,820  -->  00:01:21,233
And I walked over, and I looked through the door,
38

38

00:01:22,120  -->  00:01:24,590
and I get chills just thinking about this,
39

39

00:01:24,590  -->  00:01:27,870
but the locks were changed and there was a big piece
40

40

00:01:27,870  -->  00:01:30,800
of paper taped between both doors in the front door
41

41

00:01:30,800  -->  00:01:33,120
with a star, a sheriff's star.
42

42

00:01:33,120  -->  00:01:35,950
And what happened was the person that owned that house,
43

43

00:01:35,950  -->  00:01:37,450
that had those wonderful kids,
44

44

00:01:38,430  -->  00:01:41,130
he didn't register his company name.
45

45

00:01:41,130  -->  00:01:43,480
And what happened was there was a lawsuit
46

46

00:01:43,480  -->  00:01:45,110
and he couldn't pay back the loan,
47

47

00:01:45,110  -->  00:01:47,710
and the bank took away his house.
48

48

00:01:47,710  -->  00:01:50,260
And so you can avoid that, and again, I'm not a lawyer.
49

49

00:01:50,260  -->  00:01:51,940
Talk to a real lawyer, please.
50

50

00:01:51,940  -->  00:01:54,330
And if you are a lawyer, I'm so sorry.
51

51

00:01:54,330  -->  00:01:56,480
Unless you're a civil rights lawyer, then I love you.
52

52

00:01:56,480  -->  00:01:59,040
But if you make a lot of money from your YouTube videos,
53

53

00:01:59,040  -->  00:02:00,500
or any company, for that matter,
54

54

00:02:00,500  -->  00:02:01,480
please talk to a lawyer.
55

55

00:02:01,480  -->  00:02:02,810
Make sure you register it,
56

56

00:02:02,810  -->  00:02:05,220
otherwise you're doing a disservice to your children,
57

57

00:02:05,220  -->  00:02:07,610
and your spouse, and yourself.
58

58

00:02:07,610  -->  00:02:08,443
Thank you.
