He uses Brita Water Filters as a prime example, citing their $750 million revenue and 'crazy' social media content as proof that this strategy appeals to younger demographics who reject traditional corporate stuffiness. He concludes by emphatically telling the audience to 'loosen up' and be human.

Transcript excerpt

If you don't think now is the time to loosen the fuck up and be yourself if you wanna be truly successful, that is even a requirement. Look at the Brita Instagram or TikTok. Brita better filters. Probably a billion dollar company. I don't know. Yeah. I just checked. They gross $750,000,000, and they're posting the craziest shit I've ever seen on the Internet. And I bet you worse sales are going up because of it, because it appeals to young people, because people don't want tight asses in the corporate world anymore. Loosen the fuck up. Be a human.
