Intro Clip: Jensen Huang may have wanted to be successful, but it wasn’t what he focused on. Now as the CEO of NVIDIA, he shares about the importance of loving every job he ever worked in.
Value: Delayed Gratification Gene
Takeaway: We commit to the long game even when the short term feels how hard, slow, and unenjoyable.
Questions:
- As a team, when have we faced something that wasn’t immediately enjoyable or rewarding, but proved valuable in the long run?
- During that period, how well did we model our culture and embody the Delayed Gratification Gene?
- Where did we show patience and discipline? Where did we struggle?
- Individually, what part of your work do you need to choose to “fall in love with” for the sake of the long game?

Questions:
- How does endurance show up for you in the way you communicate?
- What is it like for others to be on the other side of your endurance (high or low)?
- Where can you be more intentional in moderating your endurance to communicate more effectively?
