The clip is part of a discussion about whether working seven days a week is necessary for success.

And I think he runs a company called Corgi Insurance, and I haven't heard of it before, but apparently they're doing really well. And I think this guy's in his early 20s. And so, one thing he said, Neil, was, if you're not working 7 days a week, you will lose, okay? And I think we have our thoughts around this. Obviously, you know, we're in our 20s before, but I just want to call this out. So, he says, look, this guy from Corgi Insurance, if you're not working 7 days a week, you are going to lose. Corgi Insurance is the most intense workplace culture in startups. The company works 7 days a week. The founder lives and sleeps in the office. He built a cafe in the office because there was no local cafe that was open 24/7. 2/3 of the first 30 team members have the Corgi logo as a tattoo, okay? And then today he went behind the scenes. I don't know how he got that happen, but he went behind the scenes. So they scaled to a $2.6 billion valuation in just 2 years.
