A short motivational monologue aimed at entrepreneurs urging them to believe in themselves, their teams, and their customers; to welcome competition and new technology; and to adopt a positive, curious mindset. The speaker emphasizes that hard times and competition improve people and encourages questioning "we always did it this way." The speaker also gives a local anecdote, naming Jim Defew, a highly skilled motorcycle builder/painter in the speaker's neighborhood, to illustrate that talented, world-changing innovators can be found "in your backyard."
