[@HannesNeuman]

And now all the productivity youtubers and hustle culture will say that "Putter" in the morning is the ULTIMATE key to success

[@bumetyanuba4231]

Facts 😂

[@ItsLotto]

Factssssss

[@MichelePonte]

🤣

[@marcterencemckenna8930]

i usually stutter when i putter

[@sp123]

He can putter because his business is a success and he's hired people to look over it when he's not there

[@xgengx7530]

That TRT changed his voice

[@VictorGonzalez-nm3ih]

More than TRT, dude had never worked out before

[@DJ_Osiris]

"You can hide a lot of sloppy thinking behind bullet points." To me this is genius because we were taught the opposite. Bullet points were supposed to be the way we cut through the noise of a "paper" and get to the point that execs want to hear. But sometimes bullet points simplify to a fault and cut out essential how's and why's. At least I think that's partly what he is getting at.

[@hardyk2010]

Thanks for humanizing Jeff for us in this podcast.

[@DTR89]

He's been in a million interviews and has said many of these things before. I guess you only watch podcasts...

If Jeff says he is not productive. What are we doing man

[@nonono9194]

It's not a hard concept to grasp the idea of delegation. CEOs don't work nearly as hard/much as the workers on the factory floor

[@average.yt.commenter609]

@@nonono9194 lol, have you ever actually followed around a CEO in real life? They very often work after hours, they're always thinking about decisions even at home. The emotional impact having a whole company relying on you compared to just getting a new job..

[@Joesephbrolin]

@@nonono9194you’re right being CEO is far more consequential and hard. Anyone with half a brain could work in the facilities

[@nonono9194]

@@average.yt.commenter609 have you? Elon musk is the CEO of like 5/6 companies, you seem to think a full time factory worker can work more than 200 hours+ a week, clown. And a life of endless monotonous manual labour is infinitely worse than sitting around making decisions, they don't give a single f if the company suffers, case in point is all the CEOs of the Fortune 500 pushing wokeism for those BlackRock and Vanguard bonuses despite destroying the companies' image and employees' job security. Keep simpin for the elites you peasants

[@nonono9194]

@@Joesephbrolin 😂😂😂 how's Jeff Bezos big Amazonaconda taste in your mouth?

[@EEZYEEEE]

His alarm clock is an Amazon delivery truck backing up at 5am in the morning.

[@sanderanocic]

Nice, nice to see an alternative to powerpoint presentations practiced in such companies, well thought out ideas and the processes it went through are best to put on full display. Efficiently and straight to the point. Powerpoints indeed tend to oversimplify certain paths or explanations which can create a fake sense of reality for lack of a better word. I’m a fan of exposing the brain and discussing it afterwards in raw. Very nice, noted it.

[@GCKteamKrispy]

Wow, I love how they do meetings at amazon. I remember, most of the people (me including) just didn't read homework reading in school, and they come to school unprepared to discuess what was in text. But reading it and discuess after 10 or so minutes sounds very productive

[@alwaysyouramanda]

We’re actually experiencing a quiet crisis in schools right now- a lot of kids can’t read.

[@robinfilbey]

Lex I just wanted you to know I love your interviews! I’m so happy to see your face 💜

[@sherifnabil50]

I putter for about 12 hours a day.

[@ideaWorld403]

I worked for this mans company as a senior executive for just over a year. I have NEVER experienced a more toxic and ineffective work culture in my life. All the great people left soon after joining- because great people who are great at what they do and are good people (have integrity, value treating people with respect etc) have options, and werent going to waste a second more of their lives contributing to a nightmare environment.

[@ShivamRaj-is6oq]

same experience bro!!

[@FahadHasin]

Can you share more details?

[@jocoo9937]

Amazon is a trash company,ran by idiots

[@linesy7513]

That's what all ex employees say lol everyone else's fault 😂

[@its9333]

You saying you were a senior exec at Amazon? Or at another company? Kind of baffling if the former at an exec level

[@alexbozzy1635]

I like crisp meetings and messy documents

[@Starship_X]

His workout experience is same as mine. Some days I don't want to do it, and some days my trainer pushes me when I don't feel like increasing my resistance. Who knew Bezos was a human being like the rest of us?

[@thirdstreet9062]

you know what would blow your mind more, read meditations by Marcus Aurelius

[@seigfriedmk]

You on roids too?

[@Starship_X]

@@seigfriedmk Bezos isn't on roids. He literally says he cares about healthspan. A 59-year old billionaire wouldn't subject his body to steroids if he's trying to extend his health and life. Eat well, sleep, and exercise to get in shape like him. It's hard for most due to lack of discipline or accountability.

[@seigfriedmk]

@@Starship_X if u can't see it I can't help u

[@SodusX]

@@Starship_X He's not on steroids but 100% on a natural level of testosterone/hormone supplementation.

[@Aright231]

I do agree on wandering. You need to leave room in life to be spontaneous and creative and you honestly never know when that need will strike you. Mr. Bezos is very charming and affable. Respect.

[@auggieaxiom5726]

why am i here at the gym? oh the gym is in my house

[@Ryman209]

Personally noticed Jeff specifically naming people helping him throughout the day, a recognition I really didn't expect to see given how I (and I think a lot of others) have him painted in my/our collective conscience. Great perspective there

[@kebabman1236]

I'm gonna try this

[@isthatakingfisher2931]

I hate when someone says they get up early and they’re not asked what is early? I wanna know what time Jeffo gets up in the morning!

[@thoth3696]

Just amazing. Thank You Both .

[@4real464]

Interesting clip. I wonder how long it took to code Amazons website

[@cjadrien]

As an author and business owner, I love the narrative memo idea to lead a meeting, I haven’t seen that before. I’m thankful Mr. Bezos shared this, I think I’ll bring it to my team and change how we conduct certain meetings.

[@CalvinMaclure]

Jeff seems like the kind of guy that gets a real bad rep, but is a much more awesome dude than we think.

[@teamworkformyfrainds]

he doesn't have a bad rep?

[@PC-vp2cg]

Well he doesn't get the bad rep due to his mannerism. He gets it due to the way his employers are being treated. Whether he himself ordered that I don't know, but working at Amazon packaging sure is like hell

[@zoby1996]

@@PC-vp2cg You know I heard a lot about that and was on board with complaining about the warehouse working standards, but then I look at the benefits and the common aspects of the people who complain. They pay double minimum wage and pay for college almost always regardless of the background you want. The people who complain are typically older and much more unhealthy than the common man, so I'm not shocked that they're annoyed at being expected to stand and work physical labor. You rarely see younger skinnier folks complain about having to do really easy repetitive work for almost double standard pay in most areas + a paid for college

[@mkhud50n]

@@zoby1996there’s so many young and in shape people complaining about being overworked and having to run around with pee bottles because they don’t even have time for breaks. Amazon is notoriously harsh with their employees. If youre with a company for 90 days you’re entitled to benefits. Amazon literally fires people on day 89. And they’ve even developed gloves that shock the pickers if they start reaching in the wrong direction to increase productivity. That’s straight up sci-fi stuff. The US government also relies on AWS servers btw.

@lexclips a better question for the young entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs would have been on the come up Jeff, what was your schedule? when did you wake up? what was your schedule? Regardless loved the podcast.

[@RifatErdemSahin]

It does not start internally with sales but borrowing on the script >>> outside world starts with the sales cycle

[@dannywoods17]

[@andrewheng5176]

The amount of wealth Bezos has and the amount of upper lip he possesses is inversely related.

Highly organized, confident individual . Strikes me as very intelligent and i found a similarity to one of my favorite teachers growing up . He also shared Jeff’s appreciation for good grammar and punctuation. I think “crisp” is a good way to describe Jeff Bezos …

[@LeadLeftLeon]

extremely hardworking to make the most of his genius

[@MobtacticsBruh]

He said Zoom meetings. Imagine the information Zoom has access to by secretly watching these meetings. Can't believe a company like Blue Origin doesn't just have their own private online meeting of some sort.

[@aplusmerchant2281]

[@neco4114]

He went from poor to Rich, and nerd to cool and buff.

[@pabloc.282]

He starts his day by injecting TEST

[@marlo8456]

I think what he said was "potter" not "putter" It's an old English term

[@franklinp4540]

i kinda compare bezos and elon and tbh elon is on another level

[@manonamission2000]

one of Elon's first jobs was in a furnace at a lumber mill in Canada... literally inside the furnace... that likely serves as his motivation...i.e. "never again"

[@KindHappyLove]

I think we need to come up for different words to distinguish between work… for example if you work in an Amazon Factory work. If you are Bezos, you have forced sometimes uncomfortable meetings… also difficult, but hardly should describe in the same way.

[@alanpower8234]

He could work in the factory but most in the factory could not achieve what he has. Its all work.

[@kangaroomax8198]

We have those words already. Jeff is doing strategy, The Warehouse worker is doing manual labor. Strategy is hard on your brain, easy on your body. Manual labor is easy on the brain, hard on the body.

[@KindHappyLove]

@@alanpower8234 I completely agree that he could. I just think that work has became to broad of a word. It could be defined differently.

[@KindHappyLove]

@@kangaroomax8198 I honestly am not throwing shade. I mean I am being a bit snarky, but I have no issues with what he is doing and I have very much enjoyed and learned from this podcast. You are right that we can distinguish and describe it better and maybe some do, but most just call it work. I think we could divide that word up better is all I am saying. So Bezos wouldn’t have to say after the gym… it’s all work. He could say it’s all --- (whatever the new word would be)

I want people to notice that he doesn't do some 4 hour work routine or get up insanely early. The people that are saying that shit are the ones who are trolling you.

He's on steroids and testosterone. Can tell by his voice, how else does your voice get deeper and laugh gets deeper when you're 60. He controls every aspect in our lives... hope he's not just some obsessed power hungry control freak but probably not. Money over people in this world. Of course business needs to make sense but when we have a few people making decisions that effect so many people it's dangerous, because like the lord of the rings "hello my precious" they can't help themselves. Nike doing kaepernick commercials blm all marketing tactics all these athletes wanting to be Ali or Martin Luther king but want it to be working in their best interest when if you are standing up doing the right thing no matter what you lose because it's the right thing. Enes Kanter is someone standing up for people that are working in sweat shops their whole life 7 days a week making nike clothes and the oddassity to disrespect this country make money off of what they are doing and sell the clothes that are made by people that are really oppressed that's been happening for a few lifetimes I would guess. It's a messed up world we live in.
