 What's up ladies and gentlemen? Look at this look at the colors look at the pixels look at how crisp it is look at the stinking like lights That's how you that's how you know, I'm a real youtuber now. I have the neon lights RGB all the things What is going on everybody? My name is John Hammond and it is 2021 All right, that's enough. That's enough boisterous Enthusiastic youtuber energy. That's all the facade. It's all artifice art is a lie. We're all lying to you But what's up? Oh man? It's so good to see everyone It's I'm happy to be partying and hanging out with everyone So for real though like new camera new new microphone new movable microphone So I and like I can move now and the lights are the lights are legit check it out Look, maybe I set the mood. Maybe we go like all hacker purple If I could get the last couple. All right, okay I'm not really good with technology. We could do like a red or a green. Oh In the matrix now ladies and gentlemen some yellows some blues may little like windows power shell look going on I could just play with this thing for hours So that's cool. We're like we're setting the mood now, right now. We're looking like a legit YouTube channel for some reason. I don't know why we did this So this video is for like the real talk, you know, like when we get like real close It's like the real talk now. We're gonna be talking about things that are real. It's it's it's real talk I'm just kidding that sort of stuff doesn't matter It's 2021 right and it's all new beginnings It's a super cool sunshine and roses rainbows and unicorns and everything So I wanted to hey, you know step up to bat I want to and like this is this is what we'll talk about in this video because this is um Confessions of a content content creator or or whatever I Want you can tell like hey, I would love to amp up the production quality on these videos, right? I'd like to make it look cool and good and sharp and everything so that's why we're we got this whole new setup We're doing it for real and I'll try and showcase some of the the good stuff super duper soon But it's interesting because when we do this sort of thing when I want to do this When I want to get better when I want to try new things when I want to experiment. It's weird because you see like a YouTube video right and the stuff that people watch now is these high-quality crisp videos and There's like a b-roll and there's music and there's like drone footage And you're probably saying to me like dude, John You don't do it. You literally screen record your computer And that's it. That's all I do like I hit the record button and it It's like hypercam too So I don't need any drone footage or anything, right? We don't need fancy b-rolls or anything Do we I don't know I want to uh, I want to experiment. I want to play I want to tinker around I want to see what we could do to make this thing better, right? Because obviously, yeah, we talk about the camera we talk about security on this channel We talk about cyber security. We talk about ethical hacking and stuff This is not good when you're wearing glasses Okay, now I'm like a cool now. I'm like a clickbait title It doesn't feel right without the glasses. I gotta put these on. Oh That's all right guys So we talk about cyber security we talk about catch the flag we talk about penetration testing red teaming I want to do some like bug bounty stuff, right? And that's all on the computer and the thing about I hope hopefully I don't want to like toot my own horn or anything I hope this channel is Educational and like teaching you the real stuff like actually doing it on the keyboard. It's not like a clickbait How to hack XYZ company? Or stupid stuff. It's like something on the internet that doesn't actually teach you anything I hope it's always like actual hands-on application-based practical learning. So Having drone footage over that doesn't Doesn't like pan out in my mind But obviously like we want to grow this channel. I want to grow this channel I want to keep this going 2020 was incredible. We hit the hundred thousand Subscribers mark one video the try hack me basic penetration testing video hit a million views which is Unreal and the amount of opportunities this has opened up for me has just been so Absolutely insane and I'm so so grateful for all of it all of you everything that we do Everything in this community everything in this industry, right? That's something that I love and I'm super duper passionate about and I want to keep Pouring more into it and I want to make it better the way that I can if I can I want to try So I can get really like idealistic, right? I have I can I can say like yeah, man I want to do more King of the Hill. I want to do battlegrounds once we can I want to record PowerShell and binary Exploitation reverse engineering a rock emporium and all this stuff, right? But it's like oh, hey, you're a dude. You're one human being you are just a person one Person that's all and there are a lot of other people out there that might want you to make the same content that they want to see So it's like hard honestly like again confessions of a content creator or whatever youtuber I Like to make these videos and I like to record and I like to do it, right? But I I am a person with my own Obligations commitments responsibilities and things and you've heard me whine and complain about this before right? Everyone has this pretty pretty story, but it's true. It's it's real. It's a matter of the fact We have our own lives to lead and I have this like complex. I have this this weird Condition where I cannot record if there are other people around like so I live with my girlfriend Right if my girlfriend is still like in the apartment or in the vicinity with me And I'm screaming and yelling at my computer and talking to this microphone. I get so much anxiety. It's so bad I can't do it. I cannot record one other people around so it's like alright I got a carve time out to be able to record Whether it's like past midnight right whenever everyone goes to bed and I got puppies I got dogs right you've seen those guys or do it in the morning or like early in the day, but Like I got a day job, right? I have the actual thing that provides Food on the table and everything and pays the bills and I kind of need to do that or want to do that obviously so Also, I want and I hope that the the videos that I produce are thorough and have Quality and substance and they're like a good Encapsulated package of something that you're trying to learn so like if I were just for an example, right? Just doing a try hack me room or a hack the box machine or some capture the flag thing I hope and I want and I try to make sure that that is something that I can like Properly speak to and teach and discuss and offer you so a lot of people have I think even kind of People have said that they actually dislike that where it's like hey, John You've you've done this already and we aren't seeing the real raw Learning or like the problems that you face or the troubleshooting the rabbit holes that you go into And because you've already solved this problem It takes away an element for us as the viewers as the audience and I understand that and I also understand Hopefully I think like having the resource having one video that showcases and explains and does it all without the fumbling and without the mistakes And without the hours potentially of googling like I could I could hit a wall I could run into a problem and literally not solve it because I don't know the answer and That could go on forever and I could get discouraged and just be like oh god. I cannot solve this Or whatever the case may be Right So I have always had that in my mind as a block like I am unable to record because of time and I'm unable to produce and create content because I want to make sure that it is solid and and Gift wrapped and bundled in the way that I could properly present to you But some people have said like hey, I would really love to see your raw Thought process and I want to see you bump into the wall I want to see you bang your head against the keyboard because that's how we're learning too when we're struggling when we're having problems So here is my actual Thesis for for this video right here's hopefully what I eventually after all this stupid nonsense This is what I want to get across here is hopefully for 2021 for what we're doing And actually let me let me add that Thesis with with a little asterisk and with a disclaimer and let me address that first because when a youtuber Or a content creator or someone that just makes things on the internet and they come out with these big wafty announcements They say i'm gonna produce power shell tutorials and c-sharp tutorials and golang and rust and we're gonna solve all the world's problems There is a problem when I over promise and under deliver and I don't want to do that So when I say that I have these wants and ideas and these things that I'm thinking about I cannot say that with the Written down in stone absolute certainty that I'm actually going to be able to do this that I'm actually going to pull this off Because obligations and life and commitments and things But this is like what I would want and what I would love and what I hope I can do It's just a matter of if I can Okay, so here's the thing. Here's the thesis. Here's what I'm hoping I can do I want to change my mindset. I want to record and create content and videos and things that is raw and Not edited You know, I mean maybe edited so we got that fancy good stuff But like I want to be able to showcase all of my thought process and not have to care or not beat myself over the head With trying to make some perfect video If you as the audience really feel that seeing me struggle And watching me try to dig my way out of rabbit holes or trying to circumvent a problem that I've ran into If you really find that valuable and you think that what makes a worthwhile video, then Why don't I change the game? Why don't I try something different and try it in a different way And produce more create more record more get more video and content out for you all the while understanding accepting I'm gonna fail and there might be hour long videos or two hour long videos where I'm frantically googling trying to solve a problem and maybe I never Even do solve a problem. Maybe I get stuck and I just don't know the answer. I don't know But I think hopefully maybe that will get me To create more and do more and make more for you Because yeah 2021 right new goals that I want to achieve new things that I want to accomplish things that I want to do Uh and all of us I hope we all have something to kind of like we want to do and we want to accomplish and what what goals and what We want to change for this new year. So, uh, I'm trying to see if I can Make this thing better for both you and I for all of us First of all, we need to stop this flashing light and we got to stink and decide on one color What do you think? Should we just mix it up every different video? Maybe we're doing a different different style Maybe it's all like We just stick with one color forever. I don't want to be color selective, right? I don't want to be like judging one color over the others We gotta we're gonna maybe mix it up in different videos, but I feel like that I feel like that fade thing is just kind of weird and annoying. I don't I don't know You tell me I want to hear your feedback. What sort of things that you like to see in these videos What exactly do you want to see Pone Tools tutorials? Do you want to see the sans hall? I hack challenge. Do you want to see under the wire tech? Do you want to see more capture the flag more? Try hack me more hack the box. What can I do? What can I bring to you? And how can I make it better sharper easier for you to understand? I got a little like waycom tablet So I can draw on the screen um, and I want to make it educational and quality Because that's what I hope you guys want and love to see Okay, I have rambled for way too long in this video I don't know how people actually watch youtube videos that is literally just a person talking, but somehow I I produced that I did that so here we are So Thank you so much everybody. Thank you for for watching this video for sticking with me for hanging out for everything that we've kind of do And we done and what am I saying?

I hope you are as excited to bring in the new year as I am I hope we can go I don't know Accomplish everything that we want to do I hope we can go achieve all these goals and whatever whatever we're We're feeling we can go do and get smarter and get better and have Fun, that's that's the whole point. So thanks so much everybody I I hope you enjoyed this video if for some reason you did it was just me yapping But I don't know if some people like to watch that stuff. So all right. That's the end of the video Let's all let's all get ready for the next one where we're going to be doing real tech stuff hopefully right actually actually being on the keyboard actually doing some hacking and Putting these masks on putting Oh the glasses I still I'm really digging the glasses guys.
