In this monologue, the speaker emphasizes the importance of celebrating large, company‑wide achievements rather than only small, individual wins. He explains that early in the company's growth, milestones such as crossing revenue thresholds or completing major projects were marked with a shared celebration that involved the entire organization, not just a single person or team.

So we did a pinball machine, and like, that is a part of our heritage, and it's a reflection of celebrating the wins
