Shark Tank investor and millionaire Kevin O’Leary has clear advice for Gen Z founders weighing how to spend their time.
But contrary to popular belief, working hard does not mean neglecting to take care of yourself, O’Leary said.
“This idea that you don’t get any sleep, as if it’s good for investors, is sheer stupidity,” he said. Eating well, getting sleep, and exercising are “how you optimize,” he added.
O’Leary’s advice is a notable shift for the serial investor, who in the past encouraged founders to work as much as possible to get ahead.
“If you show up looking half-dead, I’m not investing. You’re not a hero, you’re a liability,” O’Leary wrote in the video caption.
