RenTech's CEO slept 2,000 days in the office

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/r…


From the article:

"For me, productivity-wise it's really fantastic being able to spend nearly 80 straight hours each week with no interruptions except sleep thinking about work before spending three more normal days at home." Brown said.


Also:

Brown's nighttime activity once indirectly led to him giving a colleague a raise so that he could justify calling him in the middle of the night. 

"So, it was around 1 o'clock in the morning and I picked up the phone to call [a colleague]," Brown said. "And Jim says to me, 'Wait. You can't call this guy in the middle of the night. He doesn't make enough money.' So, I said, 'Fine. How about this? I'll call him. I'll tell him we're going to give him a raise. And then ask him our question.' And so, that's what we did."

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Just read this guy's Wikipedia. His father founded the world's first money market fund, his great-grandfather was a United States federal judge who founded the New York Botanical Garden, and he is a descendent of Virginia statesman Richard Henry Lee whose June 1776 resolution led to the Declaration of Independence. And his wife is a doctor who served as head of the FDA.
