THE NVIDIA WAY Is in Stores Now

My book THE NVIDIA WAY released today on Tuesday, December 10, 2024.

Happy THE NVIDIA WAY book release day to all who celebrate!

Today, I had one of those special once-in-a-lifetime moments walking into a bookstore in midtown Manhattan and seeing my debut book on a shelf. It was pretty cool.

It's been a whirlwind of a week. I've done many interviews with some of the best newsletter writers and media outlets in the world. The reception has been humbling (see below).

Jeff Bezos talks about how the world has turned to unresearched, off-the-cuff podcasts for their information. THE NVIDIA WAY is anything but that. It's deeply reported in painstaking detail from over 100 direct interviews—including Jensen Huang and his two co-founders, the two original VC investors, early former employees, current senior executives, and technology industry CEOs.

The book offers enduring life success lessons from NVIDIA's three-decade history, distinct work culture, and Jensen's unorthodox and effective management style. It includes more than two dozen "Jensen-isms": his management principles, mantras, and catchphrases.

As a new author, the sales over this first week are enormously important for future exposure and securing future bookshelf space. If you have ever found my work useful, this is your opportunity to support serious and substantive journalism. I am asking for your help this one time. Please buy it this week!

Thank you. I hope you enjoy it.
