#374: Rare Jeff Bezos Interview

David Senra is the host of Founders, where he studies history's greatest entrepreneurs. This is what he learned from reading and watching Jeff Bezos at DealBook Summit and Jeff Bezos: The Electricity Metaphor.

Jeff Bezos on retirement being lame, AI, the electricity metaphor for AI, the good fortune of being alive during multiple golden ages, long term life long passions, refusing to underestimate opportunity, dancing with curiosity, inventing, wandering, crisp documents and messy meetings, willing to be misunderstood, and why he doesn't do many interviews.

This episode is what I learned from reading and watching Jeff Bezos at DealBook Summit and Jeff Bezos: The Electricity Metaphor.

Another excellent Jeff Bezos interview on Lex Fridman

I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out. The only criticism I would have is that after each podcast I usually want to buy the book because I am interested so my poor wallet suffers. ” — Gareth

#374: Rare Jeff Bezos Interview

Introduction

Jeff Bezos just did this interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the Dealbook Summit, and the interview gave me so much energy that I actually printed out after I finished listening to it. I printed out the transcript, and it's like 45 pages long when you print it out. And actually went through the transcript, just like every book that I cover on the podcast. So I have all my notes, my highlights, my underlines in there.

And then what I decided to do is I rearrange my outline in order by topic. So if you listen to the full interview, which I highly recommend that you do, you're going to see the same topics appear in different parts of the interview. So I want to start with one of my favorite things that Jeff Bezos said, because Jeff is one of my favorite living entrepreneurs, and he says that retirement is lame. And they start talking about the fact that he says, "This retirement thing I've turned out to be extremely lame at."
