We finally sit down with the man himself: Nvidia Cofounder & CEO Jensen Huang. After three parts and seven+ hours of covering the company, we thought we knew everything but \\u2014 unsurprisingly \\u2014 Jensen knows more. A couple teasers: we learned that the company\\u2019s initial motivation to enter the datacenter business came from perhaps not where you\\u2019d think, and the roots of Nvidia\\u2019s platform strategy stretch back beyond CUDA all the way to the origin of the company.

We also got a peek into Jensen\\u2019s mindset and calculus behind \\u201cbetting the company\\u201d multiple times, and his surprising feelings about whether he\\u2019d go on the founder journey again if he could rewind time. We can\\u2019t think of any better way to tie a bow on our Nvidia series (for now). Tune in!

Editorial Note: We originally recorded this episode before the horrific terrorist attacks in Israel. It feels wrong to release this episode \\u2014 where the nation of Israel and the Mellanox team are discussed \\u2014 without sharing our profound sadness for all the families who had innocent loved ones or friends killed, injured, or taken hostage. Our hearts go out to everyone coping through this dark moment in history.
