I only know my own ZIP code and phone number because I have to take care of my daily life myself and those are things that are important to know.

The founder and CEO of Nvidia has no concern whatsoever about those trivial things.

It's perfectly reasonable to think less of an individual who is so sheltered that they are incapable of caring for themselves. Whether it's your mother or your maid doing your laundry and cooking your meals for you.

I don't think less of a CEO just because they have an EA that takes care of stuff like phone numbers and mailing addresses for them and their business.

I don't think less of a CEO that has an EA, but I do think less of a CEO who doesn't know his own phone number or ZIP code.

He’s a story teller. He tried on a new story and probably won’t try that one again! Haha

I’ve forgotten my zip code before. And my phone number. But I get the reaction.
