Jensen Huang’s “I made it” moment never translated to long weekends and a step back from day-to-day operations. Despite Nvidia becoming the world’s most valuable company, its CEO Huang just admitted he still operates on a mix of fear, anxiety, and even going bankrupt. 

“You know the phrase ’30 days from going out of business,’ I’ve used for 33 years,” Huang said on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. “But the feeling doesn’t change. The sense of vulnerability, the sense of uncertainty, the sense of insecurity—it doesn’t leave you.”
