Jeff Bezos was scared. In 1997, Barnes & Noble opened an online store. Amazon had 125 employees. B&N had 30,000. Amazon had $60 million in sales. B&N had $3 billion. Jeff Bezos: “It was so scary for us.” Obviously, he crushed them. How? He focused on this instead:

@arvanaghi @JeffBezos I mean id argue they mostly succeeded by undercutting their competitors and taking on a ton of risk and debt in doing so before they became profitable

@arvanaghi @JeffBezos I and many others like the ritual of going to B&B or a cozy bookstore reading multiple first chapters and picking out a book Intead of soullessly clicking on item #63517 for a 3$ price difference and a busted front cover.

@arvanaghi @JeffBezos He built an infrastructure that a lot of important people invested in without 20 years of returns for a reason. Amazon wasn’t going to fail. Too many important people counted on its success.

Amazon is worth nearly $2 trillion. Jeff Bezos started it in his garage. He had to string extension cords from each room in his house to get power in the office.

Jeff Bezos reveals the moment an early Amazon executive told him he had enough ideas to destroy Amazon: "Early in Amazon's history, Jeff Wilke came to me one day and said, Jeff, you have enough ideas to destroy Amazon. You have enough ideas per minute, per day, per week to destroy Amazon." "I was like, what do you mean?" "He said, you have to release the work at the right rate that the organization can accept it." "Every time I released an idea, I was creating a backlog, a queue, work in process. It was just stacking up, it was adding no value. In fact, it was creating distraction." "So I started prioritizing the ideas better, keeping lists of them, keeping them to myself until the organization was ready for the ideas."

Jeff Bezos gave Trump $40 million for the Melania documentary. He donated $1 million to his inauguration. In return Amazon got an $8 billion tax cut. We have to get big money out of politics. I joined End Citizens United to talk about it.

I was sitting front row at Sun Valley in 1999 when Jeff Bezos made his presentation. 👇🏼 Wall Street said Amazon was a ridiculously overpriced bookstore. Bezos explained he was selling books to reverse engineer warehouse locations — same size, same weight, easy to ship. A trojan horse for everything else. I wrote copious notes. I have to buy this. The next speaker was Warren Buffett. He said — wonderful young man, Jeff Bezos. But can you believe Amazon is worth more than Sears Roebuck with almost no bricks and mortar? I'm a Buffett disciple. I ripped up my notes and threw them in the garbage. Sears Roebuck is out of business. $10,000 into Amazon that day? $16.5 million this morning. Through eight periods where it dropped 50%. One period where it dropped 90%. You just had to hold it. Here's why I'm telling you this: I think we are in 1996 for AI. Volatility. Uncertainty. Naysayers everywhere. I'm buying anyway.

Jeff Bezos explains the “releasing the work” framework he used to build Amazon In the early days of Amazon, Jeff Bezos had too many ideas. Then Jeff Wilke, a new Amazon executive at the time, told his boss, “Jeff, you have enough ideas to destroy Amazon.” “This was just a shocking idea for me,” Bezos recalls. “As a founder, I had the great luxury of always being able to hire my tutors. I would hire these experienced, senior executives . . . And I would listen to them and they would teach me.” When Bezos asked Wilke what he meant by this, Wilke responded, “You have to release the work at the right rate so that the organization can accept it.” Bezos reflects on this point: “Every time I released an idea, I was creating a backlog of work in process. And because it was just stacking up, it was adding no value. In fact, it was creating distraction . . . This sounds so obvious, but it was not obvious to me at the time. And this was a profound insight for me. So I started prioritizing the ideas better, keeping lists of them, and keeping ideas to myself until the organization was ready for the ideas.” He continues: “I also started figuring out how to build an organization that can be ready for more ideas. That’s about having the right senior team and leadership and giving those people the executive bandwidth so they could do more ideas per unit of time. And that is what we built. We built a company that’s very good at inventing and doing more than one thing at a time. And as the company gets bigger, you do want to be able to do more than one thing at a time. But that idea of ‘releasing the work’ was very profound for me. It made us operationally more effective while still being inventive.” Video source: Reuters (2025)

This 7m view TikTok video had a surprising halo effect on Amazon. It generated 100% of the sales on Amazon that it did 15% off on TikTok Shop. Not sure why it drove Amazon sales so much. Maybe it was so viral, it reached more people who don't trust buying on TikTok Shop. It's one of the most viral videos we've had. It drove an 6x lift in total sales since being posted with 7m impressions. This is the power of TikTok Shop (for now).

.DHH says the biggest gift Jeff Bezos gave 37signals wasn’t his money. Bezos gave them confidence: “Here's f*cking Jeff Bezos, king of the goddamn world, telling us he believes in us.” “He thinks that our thoughts are valuable and good. And the funny thing is neither Jason nor I have a deficit in self-confidence but there's self-confidence and then there's Jeff telling you "No you're right.” “Oh my God rocket boost. Let's strap in. Let's go.” “He turbocharged the brashness and indignation we had that was like "Hey here's a different way of building things and we're not shy about sharing that we build in a very different way.” “A lot of that came from Jeff and we owe him a tremendous gratitude.”

You want to be smart, hang around smart people” “This was when Jeff Bezos, years before he created Amazon, he said, ‘You invest in things that's going to change people's lives’” “At that point, I was investing in ghetto stuff and crazy stuff and was losing.

Jeff Bezos on why too many ideas can destroy a company, and the discipline that built Amazon's inventive edge: "Jeff, you have enough ideas to destroy Amazon." That's what senior executive Jeff Wilke told Bezos after just one year of working together. Bezos was confused. He pushed back: "What do you mean?" Wilke was a manufacturing expert. He explained it simply: Every new idea Bezos released created a backlog. Work piling up, adding no value, creating distraction instead. The fix wasn't to stop having ideas. It was to control when they came out: "You have to release the work at the right rate that the organisation can accept it." So Jeff Bezos changed how he operated. He started keeping lists, holding ideas back, and waiting until the organisation had the bandwidth to absorb them. But then he flipped the problem entirely. He asked: "How do I build an organisation that's ready for more ideas?" His answer was structural: get the right senior team, give leaders real executive bandwidth, and build a company capable of running multiple bets at once. And there's a benefit he didn't expect. Slowing down made the ideas themselves better: "If you are releasing the ideas through time, it forces you to prioritise them better. You end up sharpening the ideas better." The constraint becomes a filter. The ideas that survive the wait are the ones worth acting on. The result? Faster execution, less distraction, and better ideas.
