The most shocking thing from talking with Jensen: if he could do it all over again, he would not start a company. The toll it takes is too large.
Brutal honesty with zero hesitation.
"We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy" is a surprisingly profound quote. When I ask people who've pulled off remarkable things, it's interesting how many confirm that they wouldn't have started if they'd know how long and difficult the road would be.
Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together.
