The part where they discuss Amazon being more valuable than Sears and is that realistic. Oh how much has changed since this aired.

[@sneat2028]

The fact sears is no longer around should answer the question for you.

Growing the company to what it is, is a much better feat than just "being around" for the time it has imo

Its very telling that some are asking what Sears is. Sears Roebuck was a juggernaut in America, you could buy anything and everything from Sears.

I work for Amazon. No complaints about this company. This video is very humbling.

I wonder if Jeff ever look back on his old interviews and recall how humble he was? Also, he is spending more now than he used to and I wonder if he even kept that wooden table that he described as a symbol of his company.

What a wonderful time capsule. Thank you, 60 Minutes digital team. Excellent reporting from Bob Simon all those years ago. "One of your employees has said that you collect half a gigabyte - whatever that is - of information on your customers every day. That's about 350 floppy disks worth." I laughed out loud.

It's a shame that most comments can only focus on how personable someone is, rather than contemplate the depth of energy and intellectual strategy that drives the person. It seems a lot of people trust their votes and their acquaintances based on how much a person makes themselves feel good, not on how capable that person is. 😮😅 This world.

Hmmm...I like him. In the 25 years since this was filmed we've seen most of the things happen that they said couldn't happen here. Amazon somehow took the place of Kmart, Sears, Barnes and Noble and even Walmart- I wouldn't have ever dreamt that could happen back then.

Considering everything Jeff Bezos has already achieved at this point. And then he still manages to be so normal, as in relatable, friendly, practical with no pretensions. I've never met a billionaire but I can imagine they would probably be very different. And what he has done for his business was pioneering and he is a genius at that.

It's funny how his original theory was to ensure that he didn't buy too much unnecessary crap - yet when you consider the purpose of Amazon today: yeah, it's about buying a bunch of unnecessary crap

[@rodion-romanovich-raskolnikov]

He means frugality leadership principle in the sense that customer can buy however much they want, but amazon should be frugal in their business. After all, it’s a business, it has to think about money at some point.

[@louisdiblasi5441]

Mr. Bezoz, I recently listened to an interview where you stated what need will my business have today? And it will have, the same need, next year and even five years after that. You went on to say monies in that area are well spent. I am not sure if I ever heard that before, I do not believe I did. It is a simple concept and something I could always fall back to. Especially in those times in business when you say to yourself, "OK wait, what am I doing again."
