EP256 - Colin Bryar former Amazon Chief of Staff and author of Working Backwards

Happy episode 256, our penultimate 8-bit episode! (we’re going to have to migrate to 16-bit for next week).

Colin Bryar is author of “Working Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon” (affiliate link). This is the definitive book about the unique processes, programs, and culture implemented at Amazon which have enabled its remarkable track record of speed and innovation. Colin had a 12 year career at Amazon and served as Jeff Bezos technical advisor (chief of staff) shadowing Jeff in all meetings for a year. His co-author, Bill Carr ran Amazon Prime Video and sat on Amazon’s S-Team. These two had a front row seat to many of the most seminal moments in Amazon’s history.

If you work with Amazon, need to compete against them, or just want to duplicate their success in another field, you owe it to yourself to listen to the episode and then read Colins book.

Episode 256 of the Jason & Scot show was recorded live on Wednesday February 24, 2021.
