That was one of his points when he refers to working in your "sandbox", but there were some others like mentorship, collaboration and writing.
You need to practice your craft away from work if you want to be great at it.
He lists a bunch of reasons why, and spends a lot of time driving them home... But I think the time is wasted.
Good designers/creators/developers/etc already do their craft away from work. Bad ones have a million excuses why they can't or won't. I can't see him changing anyone's mind as to whether they hone their craft in their free time or not.
