1.Focus on what you do...!
2. stress comes from lack of control.
These two lines definitely win my heart.

I've just read the book 'The Everything Store' about Jeff and Amazon. It is very interesting to hear the views straight from Jeff's mouth rather than from a writer about him.

For the newbie if you are actually trading in the crypto space and you don't have a sound mentor. Then you are certainly going to get liquidated in 90% of your trades. Yeah that's the sad truth. I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I have lost alot trading all by myself without a guide. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with $10k and I’m up with $128k in a short period of time.

One of my favorite Bezos interviews. The interviewer did a FANTASTIC job. You can tell he came super prepared and kept Bezos on his feet without being overly critical.

3 years later, he´s the richest man on earth.

I feel amazed of how he, even though a ceo of a huge corporation, still understands the importance of a good, lean operation.

Watched till the end and was excited to. The interviewer asked the questions; tough and playful and the answers were very insightful. Loved it.

“You can hold a rock concert, and that's OK. You can hold a ballet, and that's OK. Just don't hold a rock on and advertise it as a ballet.” - Great quote!

Really good interviewer, not afraid to ask tough questions! Kudos to Jeff Bezos for not shying away from them too.

17:15 he's like, did you just roast me lol? the face of the guy on the left LMAOO

[erikamachado]

Yes, the Fire Phone was a failure but I have a feeling in the future, like he said when it goes threw different iterations it will be a major OS contender against Android, IOS, and maybe Windows 10 mobile

0:22 at least he announces massive conflict of interests up front

[neemagsharma]

I have noticed that Business man/women are really very diplomatic...They speak something and think something else. They laugh a lot during the conversation to cover their weakness point.

[alvarozerkowski]

Bezzos has guts and smarts. He has been able for so long to make the typical short-term investment environment to believe in the long-term. This is what building a business is all about.
