In a brief on‑camera interview, Hannah Hammond—founder of a real estate finance company—is asked whether merely working hard is sufficient for success today, or if combining hard work with smart strategies is necessary. The exchange highlights the importance of both effort and strategic execution in achieving business goals within the real estate finance sector.

Excuse me, ma'am. Yeah, what do you do for work?
Uh, I have a real estate finance company.
Can I ask you a quick question?
Yeah.
Is it good enough to just work hard in today's world, or do you need to work hard and smart? Like, what does it take to actually be successful?
Well, yes and yes. You have to work super, super hard because everybody's— a lot of people are lazy. So if you just do what you say that you're going to do and do it fast and do it with high quality, that gives you an edge right there. And you also have to work smart because we only have 24 hours in a day. I have the same time as Elon Musk has, as you have, and anybody else. And so it becomes a matter of who, not how. When we have these goals and we have these visions, we can't do them on our own. So we have to align ourselves with the right people who can actually execute on that vision that we have.
