Kevin O'Leary, once a proponent of extreme hustle culture, has reversed his stance, now calling the idea of working 18-hour days "stupid." He emphasizes that good food, sleep, and exercise are crucial for making sound business decisions, particularly major ones made in the morning. O'Leary now avoids investing in founders who appear exhausted, believing rest is essential for success.
