In a brief, heartfelt monologue recorded in an empty office before Thanksgiving, the speaker reflects on a personal "gratitude (or success) tree" that displays team members' proud personal achievements. While the office is set with quiet Thanksgiving jazz, the speaker turns the focus outward, expressing sincere thanks to entrepreneurs. The speaker argues that all human progress stems from entrepreneurs, emphasizing that while small businesses are often described as the backbone of the economy, they actually constitute the entire economy. The message serves as a tribute to entrepreneurs, linking personal gratitude with broader economic impact.

I'm sitting at the office here, getting ready to depart for Thanksgiving. The office is empty. I got a little Thanksgiving jazz playing in the background quietly. You may not be able to hear it. Um, there's a tree here. I call it the gratitude tree. Sometimes, sometimes I call it the success tree, but these are things that our team has achieved in their personal lives that they're proud of. And so as I'm sitting here prepping for Thanksgiving, just thinking about what I'm thankful for, and it truly sincerely is you for being an entrepreneur. Like everything that we experience, everything in our lives that's brought about by humankind is because of an entrepreneur, because of you. They say small business is the backbone of the economy, but You and I know small business is the entire economy. Thanks for being an entrepreneur.
