How do i exclude fields in modal form from validation?

I applied validation to the modal form but I dont need the entire form to require validation. I would like 'Basic info' and 'Payment Info' to require validation but not 'Which Topic Interests You Most'. Am i applying it wrong or do i need to do some custom CSS?

In the video, it looks like he has only 2 random fields that need to be validated. I can't figure out how to do only fields i want and not all the form fields

I know this is not a short answer, but I think the explanation on how validation should be applied here is pretty straightforward and easy to understand: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/forms/#validation

basically adding the necessary classes (and if you want to use custom messaging attributes) to the parent element of th fields you'd like to validate (usually the <form> node) makes it easy to then select the elements you'd like to add validation to.
