David Senra's top 10 takeaways:
1. Strategy is not words. Strategy is action.
2. Innovation is a necessity, not an option.
3. Jensen has a habit of self-criticism: I look in the mirror every morning and say: You suck.
4. I don't like giving up on people. I'd rather torture them into greatness.
5. Colleagues call him "Professor Jensen" for his ability to explain complicated concepts in a way anyone can understand.
6. Whenever someone asks him for advice on how to achieve success, his answer has been consistent over the years: "I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering."
7. Jensen managed the company directly, involving himself deeply in product decisions, sales negotiations, investor relations, and more.
8. The company's organization is like a race car. It has to be a machine that the CEO knows how to drive.
9. Jensen did not shy away from hyperbole. Hyperbole would become reality.
10. Nvidia wasn't a great company on day one. We made it great over thirty-one years.
