It's been over 32 years since Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem started a new company together. It even took them a while to come up with a name, but they eventually settled on Nvidia. Yes, that little, independent, underdog company. The one worth $5 trillion back in October. That level of fortune gives one plenty of opportunities to spend hours reminiscing about the past, present, and future, which is precisely what Jensen Huang and Joe Rogan recently did.
