XGBoost Regression: Explain It To Me Like I'm 10

When I was just starting on my quest to understand Machine Learning algorithms, I would get overwhelmed with all the math-y stuff. I found it difficult to understand the math behind an algorithm without fully grasping the intuition. So I would gravitate towards sources that completely broke down the algorithm into simple steps and made it digestible to someone who never even heard the word Algorithm before. Okay, that is a blatant exaggeration, but you know what I mean. So that's what I'm attempting to do now.
