In this week’s Adventures in Business mini-episode, Mandi and Amani dive into their six-second video that unexpectedly went viral on TikTok. It wasn’t the production value or a trending dance that caught attention – it was 3 simple, wise questions from Mandi’s mom, Kathy K:

“Does it need to be said? Does it need to be said by me? Does it need to be said by me right now?”

These three short questions struck a nerve online. So naturally, they wanted to unpack the meaning behind them and how they apply in both business and life.
