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

[@jeremysanders9336]

Stress really comes from a lack of ability to accept and manage the fact that your span of control is limited.

[@Kaplan_Fx]

@@jeremysanders9336 thanks, that was a much better explanation

[@barrystevens5534]

Abhinash. Focus on what is most important to you. Not on someone that can only focus on wealth.

[@doctorpanigrahi9975]

Stress comes from a lack of results.

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.

[@SomethingSea1]

+KaRi ThePrimeSpot I've been listening to that exact book on the audible app off and on for about a month now and am halfway through. Then I was like, well why not hear it from the horse's mouth? I am so impressed! And the interviewer has both my annoyance and respect, because he pushed way too hard with the questions, but they are questions I've been dying to know Jeff's answer to them.

[@SomethingSea1]

I'm 30 min in.

[@Realizinq]

Guy made that book too early

[@fordtruck7896]

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.

[@jorgegomez524]

[@49fiori]

[@maribethcondrillon1079]

Hello boss, I'm excited to meet you because you said I won't be rich until I fly to you. I know that the wealth is there when you keep the wealth. I want to know when I can get a green visa so I can travel. I won't be tired for working hard. and I'm happy that I went to workone people ruined my name for a long time If my reputation is preservedbut anyways that's how god is with me. thank you so much for the trust and hopefully I can come this year and excited to meet other bosses as well. more success and God bless

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.

[@IsraelGarry]

Wow! That's amazing.

[@BeckyLanna]

How can one start,most times people don't know where to start when it comes to crypto. But it would be great if you can provide proper guidance on steps to follow please

Erika Machado Windows Mobile is dead. I'm assuming someday, Amazon will take their place, and compete with Android and iOS.

[@adamlee9347]

[@TheNostalgicNerd]

"What really matters is that companies that don't continue to experiment, companies that don't embrace failure, they eventually get in a desperate situation where the only thing they can do is kind of make a kind of Hail Mary bet at the end of their corporate existence." Sounds very Meta, Jeff.

did they talk about this book, The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon by Brad Stone?

[@LopsidedPasta]

If $30 books are too expensive, why is that the average price of an Audible audiobook AFTER the 30% price cut?

[@stennsonn]

The interviewer was throwing shade the whole time about the stock price because he had vested interest from being an investor but the issue is that he has a scared scarcity mindset because he only sees the current price and thinks Jeff is failing when in reality he's investing his money into taking actions on the long term which includes money in to find the assets that will launche the companies stock price above anything its seen. And now he is the richest man in the world.

[@karanmadnani7723]

The interviewer we are talking about is the Editor in chief of Business Insider. He held the stock through the dot com bubble and the subsequent lean years as well. I think he believes in Bezos but is playing the Devil's advocate like most interviewers do.

[@SimplyMyAccount]

Investment is a trade off between risk and profit. Amazon isn't risky because they spend all their money on R&D. (This can be argued). But really why you invest in Amazon is because you want relatively low risk long term gains. The sum of profit in the short term is not equal to profit in the long term.
