The Risktory Podcast

The Origins of Amazon


Listen Later

Coming up on this week’s episode, I will be looking at the birth of Amazon, the internet juggernaut that redefined how we – as consumers – purchase in 2019. The origin story of Amazon is one of perpetual forward motion: through a mix of both incremental improvement and strategic leaps of faith. It’s truly incredible.

In this week’s episode, I’ll explore how it all began in 1994, when Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder, ignited his ‘regret minimization framework’ and how he never, once, looked back.
