  • Hey there behind the money listeners, it's Mikayla.

  • Last week,

  • the Financial Times and Schroders gave out their prize for the best business book of the year.

  • And the winner was a book about the company that has dominated headlines this year, NVIDIA.

  • The book is called The Thinking Machine, Jensen Huang,

  • NVIDIA, and the world's most coveted microchip.

  • And it was written by Steven Witt.

  • My colleague Andrew Hill, who's the FT senior business writer,

  • has been in charge of running the Book Awards since 2005.

  • And last week, he interviewed Steven from our London studio.

  • I had the chance to sit in on this interview and I found it completely fascinating.

  • You're going to learn a lot about Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang and the guy beyond the black leather jacket.

  • And what you're about to hear is an abridged version of that conversation.

  • I hope you find it as interesting as I did.

  • Enjoy.

  • I'm delighted to be joined by Stephen Witt, author of The Thinking Machine,

  • and we're talking only hours after Stephen won the FT and Trooders Business Book of the Year Award.

  • So Stephen, welcome and congratulations.

  • Thank you.

  • It's a real pleasure to be here and I'm really honored to have won the award.
