#34: From Amazon to Entrepreneurship - Taking Ownership with Tyler Wallis


Listen Later

Tyler Wallis spent seven years at Amazon, leading teams in Consumer Electronics, Home Improvement, and Marketing for Amazon Canada. In that same time, he scaled from intern to team leader. After Amazon, Tyler founded TripleLine, an agency helping “better-for-you” CPG brands scale profitably on Amazon, and launched this podcast (Think Like Amazon) to share insights on applying Amazon’s leadership principles beyond the company.

 

In this episode, it was now Jorge’s turn to interview Tyler, as he shares his journey from corporate leader to entrepreneur, reflecting on key lessons and practical takeaways:

  • How Amazon’s Ownership principle shaped his career, including driving to Canada to gather critical data firsthand.
  • The transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship and how Amazon’s principles guide his business approach.
  • Why being a generalist prepared him for entrepreneurship’s diverse challenges.
  • Practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, including building a diverse skill set within your current role.

 

Whether you're curious about Amazon’s culture, entrepreneurship, or scaling a business, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.
