What's up, everyone? Welcome to this episode of Creator Support, the show where we answer your

questions about the business of being a creator. Today on the show, we are answering some

hard-hitting questions. First off, whether or not you are wasting your life trying to become a

YouTuber. Next, we discuss whether or not you should bring on a manager. We also talk about

creators who are now getting sued for promoting FTX. We start by talking about one of the strangest days

we've ever had working as creators, which turns out it was today, and you're about to find out why.

So if you make it to the deep end, let us know. You know what they say, Cole? What's that?

Anything can happen when you run a creator business. Anything can happen. They do say that.

They do say that. Yeah. But I'm saying this because today it happened. It happened. The most unexpected thing happened.

So we were sitting here on this set about to record this episode about five and a half hours ago.

And then boom. An explosion. And instantly, all the lights go out.

There's a scream upstairs in our office, and we're like, what just happened?

We run outside, and we're trying to figure it out, and there's a bunch of people huddled over an animal.

A man picks up the animal by its legs and walks towards us.

It's a duck. Yeah. The duck flew into the power lines,

into the power box, and it exploded. Duck day. We will forever remember duck day at the office,

because everyone had to go home. This is hours later now. The power has finally come back.

Yeah, yeah. So we can record. I just want to set the context for like what type of day we're having and, you know,

what this episode might be like.

This isn't anything can happen episode.

You know what they say?

Anything can happen when you run a creator business.
