Jeff Bezos: "Nerd of the Amazon" | 60 Minutes Archive

[@cletus2941]

they always say, "be nice to the nerds, you'll work for them one day"

[@311guy1]

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.

[@prat-man]

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

[@mgl_rosls]

Right! If these guys saw into 2024 they would not believe it.

The highest net worth individuals in your neighborhood (note, I said NET worth....assets minus liabilities) are the ones driving those 10 yr old Hondas. Not the ones driving the Cybertrucks

[@victorblock3421]

When I was broke & struggling, all I wanted was a hot car. Now that I have reached what is considered a high level, I love my 1998 Honda more than ever. I'll never sell it.

[@Carter-X]

This is such b.s. 😅

[@MaximillionIeraci-v3y]

Yup its cope

[@sneat2028]

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.

[@ianbrooks9686]

I loved Amazon when it was just a bookstore, I got expelled so i homeschooled myself for a year with Amazon. 2000

To see Jeff back then and to see Jeff and what his vision has come to here in 2024 is just amazing .

i'm watching a 60 minutes that was posted 60 minutes ago....

[@anidaniprivate]

it's a review...

[@neoneherefrom5836]

ok cool

[@pikiwiki]

"a couple of geeks, who sketched out some software, could destroy Sears Roebuck" He says, with a shiver in his voice, as if the whole world is crumbling

[@e.r.6147]

Cuz it did crumble and it is

[@aviationenthusiast4353]

he was so much cooler back then...

[@TheJoanml]

Yap before he was recruited by deep state illuminati 😂

[@MichealPeggins]

"For the customer, Amazon only exists online." Crazy how the internet was once so surreal.

Billionaire and drives a Honda. Today broke people drive a Maserati.

[@tomrgronvold]

You fell for the cultivated false image

[@beejay7354]

Something to learn 😢

[@weyw938]

Middle class people is still broke compared to a billionaire but a broke person won’t have the money for a nice car

[@Josh-179]

Supposedly, the most common brand among millionaires is just a Toyota. It's often how people become millionaires, are these sensible choices. Broke people lease the latest flashy car every 3 years.

[@TCHHCTN]

Sounds like a horror movie, walking past desk compartments in a maze with Jeff Bezoz laughing somewhere

He seems human in this segment

[@guayaquilhook1]

Such a sweet guy in the early days. Hope he can keep on minimizing regrets.

[@AndreRitter-qp3vm]

That rich white man laugh gets me every time 😂😂

[@Jamal_Ginsberg]

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.

[@ninahaines]

Oh so cool! Thank you for the blast from the past!

[@michellewahl4756]

Being successful doesn't necessarily make you great. What makes you great is when you reach back and help somebody else become great.

His voice and posture has changed so much. He now talks with a much lower tone and has controlled his nerd laugh

Happy 30th birthday Amazon!

[@luisr4383]

Loving these older episodes

[@marco-ye6oc]

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.

[@joshuacruz4244]

You can tell the interviewer when he was young and in school he would pick and make fun of the nerds.

Can you imagine the security flaws that must have existed in those early days...

[@xpaperxcutx4588]

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.

That wasn't his main office probably, that was just the office they led the media to to make him look more humble.

[@baanjones5910]

When they first opened, I wrote a letter to Amazon. I received a cool coffee mug. The best I’ve had for many years.

[@aowen1079]

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.

Bezos used to be wealthiest 5 years ago but not anymore current wealthiest person is Elon Musk according to Forbes Bloomberg billionaires index.

[@ucheucheuche]

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.

[@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."
