The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon - Brad Stone
Manage episode 491794817 series 3269526
Content provided by Sam Harris & Nicolas Vereecke, Book geeks Sam Harris, and Nicolas Vereecke. All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Sam Harris & Nicolas Vereecke, Book geeks Sam Harris, and Nicolas Vereecke or their podcast platform partner. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://ppacc.player.fm/legal.
We share the 10 best mental models about innovation from tech titan Jeff Bezos.
This episode covers the story of Amazon and some of the incredible shifts it has created on the planet. From the obvious online shopping wave to things like the e-reading industry and audiobooks, web-servers giving us Uber and Netflix, devices like Alexa. We also learn about their failures like the Fire Phone and other things you probably haven't even heard of, Amazon Destinations, anyone?
Lessons to think like an innovator and be more decisive:
- Primitive Thinking - Creating the building blocks that make new things
- Reversible and Irreversible Decisions - Can you just try something already instead of overthinking?
- Day 1 Thinking - The philosophy of never being finished
Note - Nico is taking a reading break, and Sam has a season to cover some of his favourite books in depth.
