Like I think in most companies and uh you guys have done startups, but I don't know if you work for large corporations, um, bureaucracy builds up process, it gets ossified.
Uh Nvidia is the complete opposite.
Like if things are not going well, he'll chew you out in front of the whole company.
And that kind of blunt mentality, I think, you know, sparks better performance because you don't want to be embarrassed in front of gents and in front of the whole company.
Yeah.
But also it it just sparks an agility like uh
Uh when I talk to people at Intel or Google, like the biggest problem they have is meeting paralysis and you need to get sign offs from like five different executives.
At NVIDIA, like you have a meeting, Jensen makes the call, he seeks out the right information and booth.
So there's this agility at NVIDIA.
Uh the the other thing is just a meritocracy.
Even from the beginning, like 30 years ago, Jensen's always asking, who's the smartest person that you work with?
Who should I try to recruit?
And uh from the beginning, like Dwight Dirks, uh, who's one of the top people right now, he he recruited him because he talked to this other guy and he said, Oh, Dwight's really smart.
Like I I really enjoyed working with him.
And he just
almost ruthless in a sense.
He just goes after 'em and and recruits and brings people aboard.
So this meritocracy, agility, speed, uh, and just getting rid of the internal politics, I think really separates NVIDIA.
Um, I think a lot they have that thing in in the first ten, fifteen years, like people started getting sports cars and putting them in the parking lot.
But a lot of people
