It's little wonder why Bezos was so successful after listening to him for two minutes. Even in '95 he understands the impact internet and computer technology will have on commerce and uses statistical data to start growing a business. People act like success is some kind of conspiracy, when in reality it is those who are intelligent and driven who understand both society, and, where it is heading, who will come out on top.
it's from 1997 allready, it's the middle of the bubble, many people those days were talking like him, he doesn't sound like a visionary to me. Even I as a young kid in 1994 could see where the internet was going when I first heard about the world wide web and the possibilities it opened up toward the greater public. It really wasn't far fetched, especially if you have the data that showed it like he had as someone who was constantly working with financial economic figures. What made him successful was that he walks over certain things like it's nothing were others would have stopped due to moral dilemma's. he is vicious and that makes his company a success.
"day1", "late twentieth century", he changed "we're going to find out" to "i think" . hard to deprogram your brain to talk as if you dont already know what has happened
That is how a visionary thinks. I was an early customer and I remember i was amazed how great was to find almost any book i was looking for without having to go through the bookstores. Amazon was really adding a lot of value, that is definitely the key for a successful business. He had that clear then and he has that clear now.
I'm the guy honking the horn in the background. Beep beep attention and adding value, two successful business keystones, the timelessness of this video is engaging.
The lady and guy who walked passed him in the background paid zero attention to the man who would go on and become the richest person in the world 20 years later. Makes me wonder who I come across with these days lol
I was doing web design in 1991. I believe this was the same year that Bill GAtes said the internet would never amount to anything. I had that on my wall at work for a long time as a joke. He was a little late to the game but amazing. I just remember he had a PHP snippet that would remember your name when you came back to the site. My next door cubicle worker just thought that was amazing. I was still at the time trying to get access to the server because as a designer I had to give the files to the server company to update and they would FTP them up. I still do web design but use Joomla and Wordpress and visual editor addons. WebFlow is cool. Yes, I was at work the day the Internet went public. All of the engineers quit on the same day at UW-Madison. I remember asking where everyone went. Our server was the one that John Carmack uploaded Castle Wolfenstein to. I think we had five servers in the entire world at the time. I argued with so many people that the web was a big thing and that video would go through the internet and on and on.
So what he’s just done is apply the Star Principle. This is to find a fast growing market and set up a business to dominate it. Amazon is the internet’s quintessential Star Principle business
Gates and Buffett embraced who they are...Bezos seems to be trying on a new persona and doesn't want anyone to remember him as a nerd (recently he dressed as a cowboy for some kind of photo spread) it's kinda sad with all that $ and he still was ashamed of being a nerd
that this is day one is the very beginning of this is the Kittyhawk stage of electronic commerce... fast forward today day one of AI, LLM, NLP what a great time to be alive
Big part of Bezos success relies from #CDNOW and its WebOps, clients, networks and platform; #Amazon would not be what it is today without CDNOW, period.
Jeff is a bid of a weirdo I don’t care what anyone says. Also, he was in the right place at the right time is was a BIG reason why he became so successful.

And money... intelligence and money or sadly, money then intelligence
Wow. He talks about internet commerce like he's a time traveler

i was thinking the same. "infant" carries the implication that it WILL grow up and it WILL mature.
"day1", "late twentieth century", he changed "we're going to find out" to "i think" . hard to deprogram your brain to talk as if you dont already know what has happened
"Attention is the scarcest commodity of the late 20th century"
Today it's become almost mythical, like Phlogiston and Vibranium.
What a line!

I prefer "farseeing" - and that does not apply to a monopolist - so like Jobs a "visionary"
he was marketing "attention" as he described it.
In 1997 my uncle, who had worked for over 40 years at Sears, told me to invest in Amazon. I sure wish I had acted on his advice.
Oh boy! He knew his stats.
That little 5'7 guy knew what he was doing in e-commerce back when even dial-up internet was still a luxury to have

i was thinking that too LOL
Hi, Its you 20 years in the future. You turned out pretty normal, like most of us.
I thought about that as well
Bezos mentioned amazon's catalog includes 1m out of print books. The effort to build a universal selection finally paid off
This video should end with "And then he made $100,000,000" with the Curb Your Enthusiasm music playing.
100,000,000,000**
he's veryy happy to answer those questions. It's like asking an idealist what he wants to go to space with and how much he'd like to spend.
fascinating video Brian Roemmele. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the awesome work.
Excellent glimpse behind the curtain; it's pretty clear why Amazon succeeded while so many other internet businesses fizzled.
Recorded horizontally😀👍
He's so smart and clear-sighted. Really an admirable fellow. He's had great success, and I hope he is amazingly happy. :)

If you work in analytics / statistics you will always know what the gap in business is in the future.

Identify value! #Genius!
6:20. Possiable??
it's important to fill a size 13" neck shirt

this is great
Is he related to Reince Priebus?
He said, :dodoo"
Gates and Buffett embraced who they are...Bezos seems to be trying on a new persona and doesn't want anyone to remember him as a nerd (recently he dressed as a cowboy for some kind of photo spread) it's kinda sad with all that $ and he still was ashamed of being a nerd
That is not how you spell possible at the end. Is it?

commerce...

Big part of Bezos success relies from #CDNOW and its WebOps, clients, networks and platform; #Amazon would not be what it is today without CDNOW, period.
He started Amazon in 1994, not 1996. This interview occured three years after he founded Amazon.
He founded Cababra in 1994. Amazon wasn’t until 1996.
wow!
I'd rather youtube some Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Revue footy
Did you ever think that you would be this rich?
Know I know why.
Haha 3:44 he says doodoo jk good video!

Jeff is a bid of a weirdo I don’t care what anyone says.
