Jensen Huang Says Anxiety And Fear Of Failure Still Drives His Decisions For NVIDIA

jensen huang says anxiety and fear of failure still drives his decisions for nvidia

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is having a successful run at the company. As of now, NVIDIA could be dubbed the world’s most valuable listed firm. However, that doesn’t stop Huang from letting self-doubt and tension take the driving seat to make ruthless decisions for the company. In an interview with ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ Huang said the scale of the company has never softened the constant pressure he feels while running it.

Huang stated that he lived with a mindset where collapse always felt close, even three decades after launching the company. He joked that the phrase, ’30 days from going out of business,’ has been part of his vocabulary since NVIDIA’s early days. Huang said, ‘Anxiety And Fear Of Failure Still Drive My Decisions For NVIDIA.’

The company that started as a graphics chip player has created a strong stance in the AI hardware and software domain as well. As of now, NVIDIA has a valuation of more than $5 trillion. However, when it comes to motivation, Huang said, ‘I have a greater drive from not wanting to fail than the drive of wanting to succeed. Failure drives me more than greed or whatever it is.’ And yes, Huang has been in favour of suffering, citing it as a crucial part of his journey.

Future Goals Of NVIDIA As An Organisation

As of now, NVIDIA is heading the GPU market with grace, along with a stronghold in the gaming segment. And now the brand is focusing on building and selling AI factories, including hardware, platforms, and software, all in a single place. NVIDIA has already planned the launches, or we can say the products that the company is going to drop in 2026, 2027, and 2028. One thing which we are sure of is that the company will push AI infrastructure aggressively.
