Introduction

So the book that I want to talk to you about today is "The NVIDIA Way: Jensen Huang and the Making of a Tech Giant," and it was written by Tay Kim. The book is a company history of NVIDIA. But that is not what I want to talk to you about. I want to talk to you about how the founder Jensen has learned to run his company after decades of experience and learning and practice and failure and pain.

He talked about the Lollapalooza effect and how there's these economic and social implications of these different ideas inside of a company that interplay with one another, and the combination of them actually makes the traits more powerful.
