If there's specialists in Saudi Arabia or Riyadh that you need and you're headquartered in San Francisco, you put them in an office here. It does...it...the time zones don't matter anymore because the workflows have turned into project-based work. So we have that in all our businesses, too," shared Kevin.
Further in the clip, the entrepreneur discussed that there are employees across the globe who possess particular skills.

Kevin O'Leary concluded the clip by showing how working on projects, not time-based work, has become a top choice, and individuals can work on that from anywhere in the world. He talked about how growth "attracts growth," and that ultimately attracts "money."
