In this motivational monologue, the speaker shares an anecdote about his long‑time assistant Amanda’s nearly three‑year‑old twins playing carefree with a simple four‑piece puzzle. He uses the children’s willingness to experiment, make mistakes, and stay unburdened by worry as a metaphor for how business leaders should approach their work. The core message is that leaders ought to adopt a child‑like mindset—being open to trial, accepting failure, getting back up quickly, and trusting that, over time, the business will naturally develop if handled correctly. The tone is informal, candid, and peppered with profanity, emphasizing authenticity and urgency.

This is Amanda, who's been with me 8 years, my assistant. And these are twins. They're almost 3 years old. And they're sitting in her living room playing with this 4-piece D-BAB. Y'all remember what that means? Don't be a bitch. Little 3-year-old girls playing with this 4-piece puzzle, not a care in the world, not a thought, not a worry, just playing and putting the little pieces together, probably in a shit full diaper, happy as can be, not worried about anything. And a lot of y'all, if you would go through this business a lot more like a kid and just be willing to mess up along the way and fall down and get up, The business will take care of itself if you do it the right way over time.
