Every once in a while I run across an interview that equal parts historical and insightful. Below is Charlie Rose’s conversation with Jen-Hsun Huang, the CEO of Nvidia. Having started his company 15 years ago targeted at a nascent video game industry, his technology now powers medical imaging devices that are improving the chances of early diagnosis of breast cancer. Or powering the naviagtion systems in the new line of Audi cars.
Three great quotes from him during the interview:
- “Adversity and unexpected speed bumps are the price of innovation.”
- “Some of the biggest challenges our company has faced are a result of intuitive decisions we made about what was important to invest in. And we bet the farm behind it. And it turned out to be much harder than we thought.”
- “Technology and innovation don’t always come out in linear ways.”
I hope you find this 38 minutes as compelling as I did. Enjoy!
