In this short YouTube segment, host Speaker A interviews his 8‑year‑old son, Holland Thomas, about a paper‑and‑tape model of the Ewok village from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Holland explains that he becomes fully absorbed when his mind “goes in” to an activity, describing the joy of creating something tangible from simple materials. He notes that the project took two days and that he believes he can accomplish anything if he believes in himself. The conversation also touches on Holland’s desire to balance multiple interests—Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Super Mario—by giving each attention. The host wraps up by linking Holland’s enthusiasm to the broader theme of “your yes,” encouraging viewers to identify and act on their own passions.
