287: How to Grow Your Business Like Amazon

It’s not often I can say that I’ve had the privilege to dine at the home of my podcast guest.

I can today, however.

I’m talking about Steve Anderson. His wife Karen is his co-author (she also makes a fine dinner host).

This brand new book is called The Bezos Letters: 14 Principles to Grown Your Business Like Amazon.

In it, Steve shows business owners, executives, and leaders how to apply Bezos’ same practices to watch their business become more efficient, productive, and successful – fast!

Steve has worked for years to help desiminate the “hidden in plain sight” roadmap Bezos used to lead and grow Amazon.
