'ERROR 12520 --- [ restartedMain] o.s.boot.SpringApplication : Application run failed

Any help or ideas on what I'm doing wrong are greatly appreciated. I attempted to use this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8SwUUWSWG8

I get this error when running: It throws an error 12520 when running. I'm lost on what is the issue, even though I've been staring at it for quite awhile and trying things.
