idk man lex is definitely more qualified to interview him haha not saying joe wouldn't do a great job. i feel like that convo would be more fun but less informative
great podcast; my key take-aways: 1. Work on attention span 2. 2 way door vs 1 way door decisioning 3. Jeff's take on approaching meetings, memos and power-points. I didn't disagree to any bit of what was spoken and I commit :)
Given what he's accomplished, having him share his thoughts in such a frank way, is a great historical contribution. It's significant to have him speaking for himself and to not have some future biographer distort who he was, or what he thought.
Accomplished? He's hoarding more wealth that you can even comprehend. Do you know how much a single billion is? You could make $10,000 a day for 10,000 years and still not have as much money. No let that sink in before you start arguing in your mind or worse, justifying it. Capitalism is broken. People are playing this game and exploiting the shit out of it, along with the governments blessing. Don't turn around and blame immigrants for jobs when I'm sure Bezos makes more in an hour than all of the immigrants in America combined. He does not need that money. It is immoral to hoard that much. If the richest 1% donated just 10% of their money-- something they would never notice- they could change the shape of the country and the world. They didn't "earn" all of that money, it's not proportional to their inputs or contributions.

Recently Lex has been hitting home runs in landing guests other podcasters could only dream of. Years of authenticity and genuine curiosity paying off.
First 200 episodes are classic for all interested in improving STEM knowledge. Miss the book recommendations, but I get it, Lex interviewing Great minds takes time. 💞😇🤠
This is likely Fridman's most prominent guest to date. Who knew that a sharp suit & the remarkable ability to listen w/o asking any penetrating questions whatsoever could get you so far?
He does ask very knowledgeable questions, however. The fact that he seemingly studies the topics related to his guests regardless of how cerebral they may be elicits respect.
Lex is nothing more than a puppet strategically placed by the tech oligarchs to polish their tarnished image. It's revolting to see gullible individuals like you eagerly embracing and sycophantically worshiping their power and authority.
i feel like people don't mention this enough, but jeff has really infectious laughter. also, i know latinas are in flavour but i feel that jeff can do better in the romantic partner department. he needs someone as adventurous and as him and someone who can challenge him intellectually.
I appreciate Jeff's thoughts on dispute resolution at 1:03:10 - "I disagree and commit" and how compromise is often a bad way to solve disagreements. Very helpful and practical.
Hey I do this! Just not as succinctly. My version is "I disagree, but fine whatever! Not like I value my own opinion anyway! I will commit, just stop nagging me (f*cker)."
he should be hated unconditionally; the dude is responsible for thousands of workers getting heat strokes during summer and just generally shitting on the worker class.
Without even listening to the episode, having Jeff is an achievement in and of itself ! And Jeff accepted the invitation because Lex is genuine and doesn't idealize his guests but Lex just treats guests as real friends which makes them feel relaxed.
Lex doesn’t idolize his guests? Look he does great conversational interviews with interesting people but the man is absolutely not above glazing his guests
I know bezos had been reaching out for a long time with Lex. I’m glad Lex could clear his schedule to help out this young entrepreneur! Good on ya Lex!
This is amazing, we’ve never had a long form podcast with Jeff. It’s rare for a person of prominence in todays age to not have one. I’m glad he has one now.
@@liamdavidson1983All Lex Fridman interviews are dedicated to show the work, accomplishments and character of that people, not to make them look bad. If you want to exposes of celebrities there are a lot many other channels that doing that.
@@liamdavidson1983 I like Lex, but he isn't known for his hard hitting questions. That's one of the reasons why he manages to get people like Jeff Bezos on his podcast.
Really cool to hear him talk. I honestly think he should do more of these since it really humanizes him. I think one of the biggest issues people have with him is that they don’t really see him as a ‘person’, but that’s largely because they never get to hear him speak authentically.
@@4everhumbl36Yeah but it’s not like he’s an actor or musician that has to worry about dodging interviews and appearances to stay relevant and still be wanted in the public eye so why does that matter? He’s the founder and CEO of the largest company in the world and has set himself and his family name up for generations to come and people wanna hear what he has to say!
how do we know this is not an act? as long as humans have existed, the elites have manipulated us. as he says, you can't really know anyone by their persona
The most eye opening part for me was 1:50:40 when Jeff was explaining how AI isn't even close to the humans, because human brains use only about 20 watts of power and need very little data to succeed. AI currently uses multiple kilowatts of power and needs billions of parameters to "learn" and "generate" a result. Never heard it that way before.
It’s really not a great argument, it just means we’re far from reaching the efficiencies of the brain. We don’t need super efficiencies to have agi that is dangerous.
Lol that comparison isn't accurate. Humans also need to eat food that takes a lot of energy to grow, they need a house to sleep, consumer products to make them happy, medical care when they get sick etc.. AI needs none of that.
Awesome podcast. Jeff seems to be such a curious (and wise) person and to me it is so contagious. One of my most favorite podcasts of the year for sure. Thank you very much Lex for delivering us this gem of an interview.
Hey Lex, I never leave comments on UA-cam, but I wanna say: I love your Podacast. You bring something unique and incredible to the world and I and I am sure many others appriciate that a lot. Please continue just the way you do 🙏
@@LeagueoftheDilapidatedFoolishV I thought the same but at the same time it will increase the chance that he won't do podcasts anymore if he feels attacked so thus better to ignore it so we can get more bits if wisdom imo.
@@bluegiant13Exactly. I 100% agree. Why not glean as much info as possible and not get confrontational. That's just drama for dramas sake, it would make the interview useless and wouldn't solve anything. You wouldn't interview Che Guevara and only ask why he tortured people during interrogations 😄 That's type of "interview" is just low IQ drama nonsense.
No shit he is happy and friendly. He is effectively retired with a near limitless amount of money. He won the game of life and you people think he would be sad.
@@LeagueoftheDilapidatedFoolishVyou know I had I job I didn’t like once that treated me like that. You know what I did… I quit and found a better job. They’re not slaves
Lex does a wonderful job of humanizing his Epic Guests, as it were. Titans of industry, modern day inventors, global political leaders...they all walk away from their interview with Lex seeming a lot more human and less like a mythological figure. Thanks for the fascinating interview.
@Doctordog127 One could be a transhumanist and still spiritually oriented regarding metaphysics and life after death, but it would then be about deciding when and how to die. On your terms, down to what you are at that point (regarding this orientation towards technological enhancement of the human in itself). And I don't mean in the "we are here just to bootstrap a "superior" kind of being into existence, even at the cost of our individuality" way.

The ultimate paper cut for any retailer is their return experience. When Amazon starts making that too hard, that's when I stop shopping there. Amazon & Costco seem to be the only companies that really understand that when a customer returns something, they really don't want to hear about the companies BS from someone or get hassled.
its easier to not give a shit about the 'return policy' when u make as much as amazon... when u get to their size, (and its a luxury) customer sentiment means a lot more than a few extra pennies made which they can take the hit for for their suppliers. Its something a little business wishes it could do but cant
Customer obsession has been the first principle of the company since the beginning. Their return policy has always been pretty hassle free, even when it was a smaller book-only retailer.
@@thiefoftomorrow I believe Amazon Shopping is still operating at a loss or at least the last time I checked. Their web services subsidizes the losses while they plan to later become profitable.
It is not a coincidence to me why Jeff Bezos has chosen Lex Fridman to do an interview. The passion, dedication, and professionalism Lex puts into the interviews are remarkable. You are, for me, the Walter Isaacson on UA-cam and social media platforms. Well done again, Lex!
Bezos chose him because Lex would never ask about Amazon's working conditions and unions, and Amazon acting as both the market and seller at the same time. This is just an advertisement, not a real interview. I say this with love. 😉
many controversial figures only do Lex interviews because they know he will ignore their bad stuff, he gets money they get a propaganda interview.. Lex is actually pretty hated by ppl outside of his community for this very reason
Yasantha Rajakarunanayake, who was notably mentioned by Jeff Bezos for his exceptional intelligence during their time at Princeton University, has achieved significant success in his professional career. He currently resides and works in Silicon Valley, where he has been living for over 26 years with his family Yasantha's career journey is marked by notable achievements and shifts in focus, demonstrating his versatility and expertise in various technological fields. After completing his undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Princeton University and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics at Caltech, he made significant contributions to the development of Internet technology, particularly in areas like Cable Modems, DSL modems, and ADSL networks. His work played a pivotal role in enabling broadband Internet deployment over existing phone lines globally.
I could listen to Jeff Bezos for hours and days, absorb his knowledge and practical and pragmatic way of seeing things with any drama, just solution oriented. Also the way he explains his thoughts and concepts is very structured, he would be a perfect teacher who makes the most complex concepts very digestible. I like him a lot.
Wonderful interview Lex, and Jeff did a fabulous job answering the terrific questions fully and honestly. After watching this interview, I left more inspired and thinking in a fresher way, which I really needed. Thank you.
Lex lands some powerful people, and it’s only because he doesn’t get political or judge. And neither do most of the people who watch him, we all just wanna see people as who they are
I mean no doubt someone like Bezos does hours of practice interviewing for an occasion like this so that he’s sure to NOT be “who he is.” At least to not say something to tank the stock price or incriminate himself.
Right. He lands the powerful people because he doesn’t rock the boat or put his neck out. His guests get the platform to portray the exact version of themselves that they want everyone to see. No hard questions. No risk for anyone involved. Just like the mainstream propaganda media. SMH.
@@jw6487you think one of the richest guys in the world has the time for hours of mock interviews? Maybe. Why can’t the dude just be a well spoken, good intentioned leader?
Didn’t like him that much before until this interview. It’s a great opportunity to really get to know him for who he is 🎉great job for the interviewer too 👌🏼
same here.. during the first 20 minutes i kept thinking he is just dishonest and clueless and all driven by greed only. but he seems not to be that bad. i feel like a bit of negativity got erased in me.
Leftist journalists, who basically have zero contribution towards progress of human civilisation,have convinced everyone that having basic desires is selfish and greedy.
Escalation is better than war of contrition. Never could have been said better. Jeff is finally vulnerable in dialogue and nothing tops it! Thank you, Mr Fridman for outdoing yourself just when everyone thinks you maxed out.
@@oskarfjortoft yeah but Jeff didn't use war of contrition in the discussion, he said "escalation is better than war of attrition". War of contrition doesn't make any sense in the context of the discussion they were having. He wasn't talking about two folks wearing each other down due to apologizing.
Finally a direct, deep and long first-hand conversation with Jeff! It's hard to empathize with a person you never heard a conversation from but only heard news about. We're living in a time where "personal brands" are a thing and these things are important. Thanks for doing this Lex!
The part that's though to empathize with about Jeff is not the privacy. Its the unwillingness to pay living wages to the working class that built his enormous wealth while continuing getting filthy rich, even more pushed by public spending and subsidies to AWS for espionage. Fuck that bald fucker. No aristocrat will ever get empathy, they sure don't have any for employees.
This is awesome, thank you. Interviewing Musk, Jeff, and Mark-wow. The goal now is to get these three guys in a room and just let them talk to each other. That would be crazy.
Not a fan of Amazon so nearly passed this interview over. I really liked his approach to meetings. Everyone reads the meeting documents together and then discusses & debates it. So many of the meetings I have attended many had not had time to read the documents attached to the Agenda.
A year ago I worked at UPS during “peak season” (Black Friday-Christmas Eve) my team of workers would get packages from a belt a few would sort them onto four different hand trucks each one designated for a particular delivery truck the packages needed to be loaded on. Three of the hand trucks were the same size but one of them was 2.5 times as big as the others. I realized that we were using the long one for the closest truck to the belt, which was inefficient. So I went to my supervisor and told her that we should use it for the furthest truck instead, as that would save steps. She looked me in my eye and said “that doesn’t matter, it’s the same number of packages going to the same place, you need to work faster.” I bought Amazon stock with my very next paycheck 😂
Bless this man! Improving lives everyday. Not only I order on amazon but also I've had a publishing business based on it's platform and now the mindsets he is giving us... Just the ultimate golden goose! Keep this man alive.
Most of the shit practices are done by the directors under him. A lot of the building managers are trash. Bezos isn't involved with every single employee down the chain
@@TwiztidPain It does seem sometimes all it needs (not to mean its easy to do... it must be incredibly difficult) is focus on one important thing that people care about and all the things connected to that but is not always apparent. Major businesses can be developed that way.
Yea he's talented to speak .... All those guys from the Sillicon and Princetonor Standford (Peter Thiel, Zucker, Reed Hastings ...) who bought there New Zealand citizenship thinking it is the last place on Earth where They think they will be able to avoid climitatic change, States, laws and all the crappy things they have done.
He has guarded his personal brand insanely well. I think Lex can pull these big names in because he's intelligent and not a douchebag. Albeit maybe a bit of a "love" salesman and faking the funk, but better than being a dbag.
That’s because he finally found a schmo who seems innocently forgetful to ask him the real questions of his selective sight. Like why all billionaires have “space” fantasies when we can’t get 💩 right on earth. Or how he feels about all the normal American businesses he put out with his “favoritism” towards certain brands? Or how being a nerd and feeling inadequate most his life was the real driver of his ambition psychologically?
The worst possible way...unskeptical deference to an extremely powerful and controversial person who's decisions impact millions of people. No questions about the ethics of a billionaire owning the Washington Post, no questions about AWS pulling Parler, no questions about Amazon's exploitative labour practices. Fuck him.
Lex has become one of the greatest interviewers of all time. The selfless way he listens and probes really gets people to open up and makes for great content.
reading questions off a piece of paper is pretty bush league. duno how this clown continues to get these guests. guess they like his "MIT credentials" LOL
Lex is a curious guy which is a great quality and he gets great guests but he is not a great interviewer. I can't count the number of interviews where it feels like the interviewee might as well be talking to a brick wall for how poorly Lex seems to comprehend what they're trying to communicate.
You can really tell how much information Jeff is privy to in his own companies. He can talk in such detail about every aspect of his company. Also the level and approach of decision making Jeff describes is nothing short of incredible. So many gems and so many more that are under the surfacethat we should ALL take note of. I chose pen and paper for this one!!!
ok lets see your podcast and how much detail you describe in your company's projects. till then, ill be taking notes on his success blueprint...@@truegrit1860
I would say considering he literally started Amazon out of his garage he isn’t the “classic playboy billionaire” but more if the “classic self made billionaire”
Bezos is known for going and visiting colleges to stay abreast of emerging tech way before it's live in the industry. So he seems to be able to make predictions years out. I imagine at this point he's accrued so much knowledge about mechanical and technical innovation that he just can absorb this stuff wicked fast.
This was so much better than I had anticipated. I found myself judging Jeff based solely on the fact that he was a billionaire that happened to create AMAZON. Hearing about his grandfather and the farm gave him a humanity that I don’t think I would have ever seen otherwise. Lex you are genuinely amazing at interviewing in a way that is conversational but doesn’t dominate the conversation. You have such a polite and funny way of easing your guests in. At the end of the day, It’s really about what you have created for the next generation. Truly inspiring and humbling. Ty lex 😊and Jeff B.
@The_Mystical_Man That's the power of LF JB: That's an inventor's greatest dream is that their inventions are so successful that they are one day taken for granted. No one thinks of Amazon as an invention, no one thinks of customer reviews. We pioneered customer reviews but now they are so commonplace, same thing with one click shopping and so on, but that's a compliment. You invent something … that is so beneficially used by so many people people that they take it for granted. Lex: I don't know about nobody, every time I use Amazon I'm still amazed, how does this work? The logistics… JB: [laughs] That proves that you're a very curious exploder… LF: Alright, alright, back to rockets…
It’s the first time I see a longer interview with Jeff Bezos. Really enjoying it and can’t help feeling amazed about how kind and approachable he comes through. So great to see his enthusiasm.
True. I have always disliked the guy based on what I have heard about him. After this interview, my perception of him has changed drastically in a positive way.
Thanks Jeff. Now I feel like I can understand you more as a person rather than a figure. You are a great shaper in this long history of humanity and I'm grateful to hear your side of the story.
These podcasts and the willingness of these high profile people to give us a glimpse into their lives is great. In the past average people could usually only find their inspiration in books but these interviews will spark a whole new generation of people to aspire to greater achievement.
So true, I think they are truly inspiring some of americas brightest. It's ok to work on a farm, its ok to not be where you want to be. As long as you work hard, you can do anything in America!
I’m conflicted. I have heard how horrible Jeff Bezos’ business practices are, but he actually seems like a down to earth guy. Very smart and well spoken to say the least
In my experience, the concept of the Study Hall is so powerful. Having a great 6 page memo which is then read together by all executives is so much better. As Jeff Bezos explains it allows people to make time as during the normal course of their work we don't have time
Lex is the best ‘journalist’ out there. More pertinent questions than any mainstream channels. The insights coming out of this channel are nothing short of phenomenal.
Lex is good at getting different, powerful people to give their view of things in an equal, presentable format, but he's not pushing back or asking hard questions at all. He's not the Frost to anyone's Nixon. Not that he has to be, he's great at what he's chosen to do. But it isn't the hardball type of journalism that effects change.
He got this interview first of all because Bezos approved the questions first....no negative or criticism questions at all. That `s how Benzos want it. Then of course Lex is a very good host !
Yeah he got the interview because he wouldnt DARE ever press anyone on the horrible things they do... hes a SOFTBALL PRO... how out of touch are the people in these comments??? Wow
Those who get it, get it. It’s okay. Whatever you take away from the conversation will hopefully satisfy your initial curiosity and interest in watching it all together.
I'd love to see Elon and Jeff debate different decisions they've made for their rocket companies. Would be an incredible learning opportunity, though I don't expect that to ever happen, unless a future merger occurs.
Dear Lex, Please try to get Jeff Bezos on more often. He is super interesting and it’s unfortunate that he never did these interviews or podcasts, like Elon Musk does for example. This video could have been six hour long and I would enjoy every second of it. There’s alot of wisdom to be found in the things Mr. Bezos says. Thanks.
Agreed. But you have to understand that Lexie is a normie muZk rider, so he cannot comprehend the difference between a fraud and a somewhat-intelligent-businessman... 🤷♂

HUGE INTERVIEW 😀
I appreciate Jeff's thoughts on dispute resolution at 1:03:10 - "I disagree and commit" and how compromise is often a bad way to solve disagreements. Very helpful and practical.
I love that part too, one of my main takeaway from this. I was not expecting it to be covered here but I'm glad it was.
Hey I do this! Just not as succinctly.
My version is "I disagree, but fine whatever! Not like I value my own opinion anyway! I will commit, just stop nagging me (f*cker)."
Not the biggest bezos fan, but having this sort of access to a Titan of industry is insane. Much appreciated Lex
Same, glad I swallowed my distaste and decided to watch. He is extremely well spoken.
Great friend of Epstein
@@KP-sg9fmyou swallowed your distaste? Sounds hot, bro.
he should be hated unconditionally; the dude is responsible for thousands of workers getting heat strokes during summer and just generally shitting on the worker class.
@@PerfectlyFunctioningAI
Can't believe all the boot lickers. Disgusting parasite. Bet he misses Epstein island
Without even listening to the episode, having Jeff is an achievement in and of itself !
And Jeff accepted the invitation because Lex is genuine and doesn't idealize his guests but Lex just treats guests as real friends which makes them feel relaxed.
Lex doesn’t idolize his guests? Look he does great conversational interviews with interesting people but the man is absolutely not above glazing his guests
so true ..lex is just normal ..
2-weeks later I’m still trying to get through it
That is part of it and idealistic. I think being on Lex's podcast is a status thing among intellectuals.
Lex is a first generation robot with no emotions
44:00 Thats why I admire this man so much.
I know bezos had been reaching out for a long time with Lex. I’m glad Lex could clear his schedule to help out this young entrepreneur! Good on ya Lex!
😂
😂😂😂❤
Love it!
😂
This is amazing, we’ve never had a long form podcast with Jeff. It’s rare for a person of prominence in todays age to not have one. I’m glad he has one now.
Lex, YOU MADE A HISTORICAL INTERVIEW! THIS WAS MORE THAN EPIC.
No hard hitting questions very disappointing
@@liamdavidson1983All Lex Fridman interviews are dedicated to show the work, accomplishments and character of that people, not to make them look bad. If you want to exposes of celebrities there are a lot many other channels that doing that.
*historic :)
@@liamdavidson1983 I like Lex, but he isn't known for his hard hitting questions. That's one of the reasons why he manages to get people like Jeff Bezos on his podcast.
@@consciousobserver1905 kinda mid
First time I watch one of these business podcasts and I feel like I actually learned simomething
Really cool to hear him talk. I honestly think he should do more of these since it really humanizes him. I think one of the biggest issues people have with him is that they don’t really see him as a ‘person’, but that’s largely because they never get to hear him speak authentically.
But his exclusivity, and his lack of a public persona is partly what helped elevate him as well
@@4everhumbl36Yeah but it’s not like he’s an actor or musician that has to worry about dodging interviews and appearances to stay relevant and still be wanted in the public eye so why does that matter? He’s the founder and CEO of the largest company in the world and has set himself and his family name up for generations to come and people wanna hear what he has to say!
how do we know this is not an act? as long as humans have existed, the elites have manipulated us. as he says, you can't really know anyone by their persona
Yeah he is not that type of CEO who gets interviewed 10 times a year. He is probably very busy working.
I think the problem people have, is the way his company exploits and coerces the very human people who work for Amazon.
The most eye opening part for me was 1:50:40 when Jeff was explaining how AI isn't even close to the humans, because human brains use only about 20 watts of power and need very little data to succeed. AI currently uses multiple kilowatts of power and needs billions of parameters to "learn" and "generate" a result. Never heard it that way before.
AI doesn’t really even exist yet. These are just advanced programs. Ai is a great marketing term these days. So it gets stamped on everything.
Brain compute vs power draw has been referenced a ton in the chip world for decades. The brain isn't that fast, but holy hell is it efficient.
It’s really not a great argument, it just means we’re far from reaching the efficiencies of the brain. We don’t need super efficiencies to have agi that is dangerous.
Lol that comparison isn't accurate. Humans also need to eat food that takes a lot of energy to grow, they need a house to sleep, consumer products to make them happy, medical care when they get sick etc.. AI needs none of that.
True, but remember the human brain has evolved over 6 million years. Computers have only been around for 50 to 60 years.
Awesome podcast. Jeff seems to be such a curious (and wise) person and to me it is so contagious. One of my most favorite podcasts of the year for sure. Thank you very much Lex for delivering us this gem of an interview.
I see, you have no clue, how he treats his employees and how he is wasting ressources by destroying NEW products!!!
Wow, as a young man handling my business for the last 2yrs, I have really learned a lot from Jeff. Wow wow what a mind
Hey Lex, I never leave comments on UA-cam, but I wanna say: I love your Podacast.
You bring something unique and incredible to the world and I and I am sure many others appriciate that a lot.
Please continue just the way you do 🙏
Get a life
I love your podacast too!
I love how happy and friendly Jeff Bezos is here. Awesome podcast!
Lex should have asked about the slave conditions of his employees.
@@LeagueoftheDilapidatedFoolishV I thought the same but at the same time it will increase the chance that he won't do podcasts anymore if he feels attacked so thus better to ignore it so we can get more bits if wisdom imo.
@@bluegiant13Exactly. I 100% agree.
Why not glean as much info as possible and not get confrontational. That's just drama for dramas sake, it would make the interview useless and wouldn't solve anything.
You wouldn't interview Che Guevara and only ask why he tortured people during interrogations 😄 That's type of "interview" is just low IQ drama nonsense.
No shit he is happy and friendly. He is effectively retired with a near limitless amount of money. He won the game of life and you people think he would be sad.
@@LeagueoftheDilapidatedFoolishVyou know I had I job I didn’t like once that treated me like that. You know what I did… I quit and found a better job. They’re not slaves
Lex does a wonderful job of humanizing his Epic Guests, as it were. Titans of industry, modern day inventors, global political leaders...they all walk away from their interview with Lex seeming a lot more human and less like a mythological figure. Thanks for the fascinating interview.
these will probably become records in the national library, for ever.
you are naive if you think this isn't completely calculated, Bezos came here to rehabilitate his public image after it worked so well for Zuckerberg
They seem a lot less human with the way they think.
@Doctordog127 One could be a transhumanist and still spiritually oriented regarding metaphysics and life after death, but it would then be about deciding when and how to die. On your terms, down to what you are at that point (regarding this orientation towards technological enhancement of the human in itself). And I don't mean in the "we are here just to bootstrap a "superior" kind of being into existence, even at the cost of our individuality" way.
I am shocked that a human is indeed a human.
Jeff sees 100+ years into the future, love it.

The ultimate paper cut for any retailer is their return experience. When Amazon starts making that too hard, that's when I stop shopping there.
Amazon & Costco seem to be the only companies that really understand that when a customer returns something, they really don't want to hear about the companies BS from someone or get hassled.
its easier to not give a shit about the 'return policy' when u make as much as amazon... when u get to their size, (and its a luxury) customer sentiment means a lot more than a few extra pennies made which they can take the hit for for their suppliers. Its something a little business wishes it could do but cant
Customer obsession has been the first principle of the company since the beginning. Their return policy has always been pretty hassle free, even when it was a smaller book-only retailer.
Nordstrom
@@thiefoftomorrow I believe Amazon Shopping is still operating at a loss or at least the last time I checked. Their web services subsidizes the losses while they plan to later become profitable.
Amazon is a tiny fraction of Bezos true business. AWS webservices is what made him, not Amazon.
It is not a coincidence to me why Jeff Bezos has chosen Lex Fridman to do an interview. The passion, dedication, and professionalism Lex puts into the interviews are remarkable. You are, for me, the Walter Isaacson on UA-cam and social media platforms.
Well done again, Lex!
Bezos chose him because Lex would never ask about Amazon's working conditions and unions, and Amazon acting as both the market and seller at the same time. This is just an advertisement, not a real interview. I say this with love. 😉
Other people can ask him those hard questions, no need Lex has to ask everything....
Dr Evil would not talk to anyone who is not an establishment shill.
many controversial figures only do Lex interviews because they know he will ignore their bad stuff, he gets money they get a propaganda interview.. Lex is actually pretty hated by ppl outside of his community for this very reason
@@RudolfMaister420 That would just end the interview. Prefer that stuff stay to the news interviews.
One of the most impressive interviews I've seen in my entire life!
I wish Jeff would do more podcast appearances. He really has a lot of very useful things to say. Great work from Lex as always.

Such an original comment
Jeff who?
Yasantha Rajakarunanayake, who was notably mentioned by Jeff Bezos for his exceptional intelligence during their time at Princeton University, has achieved significant success in his professional career. He currently resides and works in Silicon Valley, where he has been living for over 26 years with his family
Yasantha's career journey is marked by notable achievements and shifts in focus, demonstrating his versatility and expertise in various technological fields. After completing his undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Princeton University and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics at Caltech, he made significant contributions to the development of Internet technology, particularly in areas like Cable Modems, DSL modems, and ADSL networks. His work played a pivotal role in enabling broadband Internet deployment over existing phone lines globally.
Mr.Rajakarunanayake... This is you isn't it?
Yasantha copied and pasted his own life story in a youtube comment. Well played sir
wow ChatGPT watches youtube!
I could listen to Jeff Bezos for hours and days, absorb his knowledge and practical and pragmatic way of seeing things with any drama, just solution oriented. Also the way he explains his thoughts and concepts is very structured, he would be a perfect teacher who makes the most complex concepts very digestible. I like him a lot.
Wonderful interview Lex, and Jeff did a fabulous job answering the terrific questions fully and honestly. After watching this interview, I left more inspired and thinking in a fresher way, which I really needed. Thank you.
My God! Who's next? Soros? Putin? Lex never fails to amaze with his guests.

I have full confidence that Lex one day will sit across Putin, unless he dies. This guy is someone who really makes his aspirations come true.
How about Dr.Shiva
This was amazing. I legitimately could've listened to another three hours of this.
SAME.
He is rather dumb. All he says - copies others.
Lex Fridman and Lex Luthor in the same room, what an interesting sight!
Lex lands some powerful people, and it’s only because he doesn’t get political or judge. And neither do most of the people who watch him, we all just wanna see people as who they are
I mean no doubt someone like Bezos does hours of practice interviewing for an occasion like this so that he’s sure to NOT be “who he is.” At least to not say something to tank the stock price or incriminate himself.
And don't forget, a good friend of Jeffrey Epstein. Maggot
Right. He lands the powerful people because he doesn’t rock the boat or put his neck out. His guests get the platform to portray the exact version of themselves that they want everyone to see. No hard questions. No risk for anyone involved.
Just like the mainstream propaganda media.
SMH.
@@jw6487you think one of the richest guys in the world has the time for hours of mock interviews? Maybe. Why can’t the dude just be a well spoken, good intentioned leader?

I love Jeff’s laugh. It’s so unabashedly pure and comes from the right place and feels so good to hear too. 😊
Didn’t like him that much before until this interview. It’s a great opportunity to really get to know him for who he is 🎉great job for the interviewer too 👌🏼
same here.. during the first 20 minutes i kept thinking he is just dishonest and clueless and all driven by greed only.
but he seems not to be that bad. i feel like a bit of negativity got erased in me.

Priceless. I know of no other format that would’ve given this value of content, in any amount of time. Let alone, free. Respect
Such an interesting interview. Learned that Jeff is not "simply a business man" , but studied in the sciences. May you have many more.
Escalation is better than war of contrition. Never could have been said better. Jeff is finally vulnerable in dialogue and nothing tops it! Thank you, Mr Fridman for outdoing yourself just when everyone thinks you maxed out.
War of attrition*
@@oskarfjortoft yeah but Jeff didn't use war of contrition in the discussion, he said "escalation is better than war of attrition". War of contrition doesn't make any sense in the context of the discussion they were having. He wasn't talking about two folks wearing each other down due to apologizing.
@@oskarfjortoft the irony in this comment thread just made my day
it's amazing how much knowledge one can get from a couple hours of talking to someone
Finally a direct, deep and long first-hand conversation with Jeff! It's hard to empathize with a person you never heard a conversation from but only heard news about. We're living in a time where "personal brands" are a thing and these things are important.
Thanks for doing this Lex!
The part that's though to empathize with about Jeff is not the privacy. Its the unwillingness to pay living wages to the working class that built his enormous wealth while continuing getting filthy rich, even more pushed by public spending and subsidies to AWS for espionage.
Fuck that bald fucker. No aristocrat will ever get empathy, they sure don't have any for employees.
This is awesome, thank you. Interviewing Musk, Jeff, and Mark-wow. The goal now is to get these three guys in a room and just let them talk to each other. That would be crazy.

Trump would be an awesome guest.
Not a fan of Amazon so nearly passed this interview over. I really liked his approach to meetings. Everyone reads the meeting documents together and then discusses & debates it. So many of the meetings I have attended many had not had time to read the documents attached to the Agenda.
Shut up
Jeff should 100% run for president!
A year ago I worked at UPS during “peak season” (Black Friday-Christmas Eve) my team of workers would get packages from a belt a few would sort them onto four different hand trucks each one designated for a particular delivery truck the packages needed to be loaded on. Three of the hand trucks were the same size but one of them was 2.5 times as big as the others. I realized that we were using the long one for the closest truck to the belt, which was inefficient. So I went to my supervisor and told her that we should use it for the furthest truck instead, as that would save steps. She looked me in my eye and said “that doesn’t matter, it’s the same number of packages going to the same place, you need to work faster.”
I bought Amazon stock with my very next paycheck 😂
I work at fedex I can relate to this
Yo can you guys refer me, I live in Canada

Thats not what any of his employees say.

Cool as in regular. Maybe regular prime but ya
Jeff is a monumental douche and Lex needs to seriously take the kid gloves off and actually interview with tough questions.
Most of the shit practices are done by the directors under him. A lot of the building managers are trash. Bezos isn't involved with every single employee down the chain
Wow I am really pleasantly surprised almost shocked by Jeff's talent to explain things and concepts. Awesome. I feel much smarter now :)
Why you don't become a billionaire with your own tech, and space company while being avrage.

I've been looking for podcasts with Jeff Bezos for a while with no results.
Lex kudos to you on being the first to bring him on your show.
He has guarded his personal brand insanely well. I think Lex can pull these big names in because he's intelligent and not a douchebag. Albeit maybe a bit of a "love" salesman and faking the funk, but better than being a dbag.
That’s because he finally found a schmo who seems innocently forgetful to ask him the real questions of his selective sight. Like why all billionaires have “space” fantasies when we can’t get 💩 right on earth. Or how he feels about all the normal American businesses he put out with his “favoritism” towards certain brands? Or how being a nerd and feeling inadequate most his life was the real driver of his ambition psychologically?

Lex is a curious guy which is a great quality and he gets great guests but he is not a great interviewer. I can't count the number of interviews where it feels like the interviewee might as well be talking to a brick wall for how poorly Lex seems to comprehend what they're trying to communicate.
You can really tell how much information Jeff is privy to in his own companies. He can talk in such detail about every aspect of his company. Also the level and approach of decision making Jeff describes is nothing short of incredible. So many gems and so many more that are under the surfacethat we should ALL take note of. I chose pen and paper for this one!!!
ok lets see your podcast and how much detail you describe in your company's projects. till then, ill be taking notes on his success blueprint...@@truegrit1860
I would say considering he literally started Amazon out of his garage he isn’t the “classic playboy billionaire” but more if the “classic self made billionaire”
Bezos is known for going and visiting colleges to stay abreast of emerging tech way before it's live in the industry. So he seems to be able to make predictions years out. I imagine at this point he's accrued so much knowledge about mechanical and technical innovation that he just can absorb this stuff wicked fast.
Great interview, but so many ads in the last half.

So much valuable knowledge and insight.
Thank You for all You do 👍~Zack

Amazing amazing interview 🎉
This was so much better than I had anticipated. I found myself judging Jeff based solely on the fact that he was a billionaire that happened to create AMAZON.
Hearing about his grandfather and the farm gave him a humanity that I don’t think I would have ever seen otherwise. Lex you are genuinely amazing at interviewing in a way that is conversational but doesn’t dominate the conversation. You have such a polite and funny way of easing your guests in.
At the end of the day, It’s really about what you have created for the next generation. Truly inspiring and humbling.
Ty lex 😊and Jeff B.
This is why you shouldn't judge anyone. I already knew both Elon and Jeff are good people
I thought the same thing, I didn’t think I’d like the interview, but I really enjoyed it.
That's the power of PR.

@The_Mystical_Man That's the power of LF
JB: That's an inventor's greatest dream is that their inventions are so successful that they are one day taken for granted. No one thinks of Amazon as an invention, no one thinks of customer reviews. We pioneered customer reviews but now they are so commonplace, same thing with one click shopping and so on, but that's a compliment. You invent something … that is so beneficially used by so many people people that they take it for granted.
Lex: I don't know about nobody, every time I use Amazon I'm still amazed, how does this work? The logistics…
JB: [laughs] That proves that you're a very curious exploder…
LF: Alright, alright, back to rockets…
It’s the first time I see a longer interview with Jeff Bezos. Really enjoying it and can’t help feeling amazed about how kind and approachable he comes through. So great to see his enthusiasm.
Than you also heard what he said about public persona and the impossibility of judging a person from that
..and now imagine all those amazon workers working in slave like conditions.
True. I have always disliked the guy based on what I have heard about him. After this interview, my perception of him has changed drastically in a positive way.

Cringe factor 100.000
This interview was way too boring though. 🥱 He needs to interview Elon Musk. We want Musk.
Yeah, except working for the man is voluntary slavery.
These podcasts and the willingness of these high profile people to give us a glimpse into their lives is great. In the past average people could usually only find their inspiration in books but these interviews will spark a whole new generation of people to aspire to greater achievement.
Completely agree. Rogan and Lex really leading the way with these, not just interviews but long form conversations.
What nonsense, he's a former city worker who put a shop online and made money avoiding tax. Hardly amazing.
@gabrielterrero6190 Go and commit tax fraud? 😐🤦
So true, I think they are truly inspiring some of americas brightest. It's ok to work on a farm, its ok to not be where you want to be. As long as you work hard, you can do anything in America!

I’m conflicted. I have heard how horrible Jeff Bezos’ business practices are, but he actually seems like a down to earth guy. Very smart and well spoken to say the least
He hasn’t been the chairman of Amazon for years. Also, most decisions aren’t made by him, they’re made by the directors and the people under him
@@NotTheMayor Two valid points
Grandpa put the dinky in wittle bazo but
Perfect example of how not to believe everything you see & hear online
He is a capitalist 🐷. He is more than horrible.
In my experience, the concept of the Study Hall is so powerful. Having a great 6 page memo which is then read together by all executives is so much better. As Jeff Bezos explains it allows people to make time as during the normal course of their work we don't have time
I wonder what the effect of having the ideas fresh in your mind vs being able to think about it for awhile is
Lex is the best ‘journalist’ out there. More pertinent questions than any mainstream channels. The insights coming out of this channel are nothing short of phenomenal.
How much bigger must Lex become to be considered mainstream?
@@oliver-04 I meant in the media narrative sense of the term.
This is not journalism. Lex is not a journalist. This is a podcast.
😂😂😂 Nope. He has good qualities but oh so many bad ones when it comes to interviewing people.
Lex is good at getting different, powerful people to give their view of things in an equal, presentable format, but he's not pushing back or asking hard questions at all. He's not the Frost to anyone's Nixon.
Not that he has to be, he's great at what he's chosen to do. But it isn't the hardball type of journalism that effects change.
Never heard jeff bezos speak before but the guy is so chilled and open.Great talk
I knew you would be the one who would get the interview. You are gentle, kind, and you care. It's nice see this. Thanks...
He got this interview first of all because Bezos approved the questions first....no negative or criticism questions at all. That `s how Benzos want it. Then of course Lex is a very good host !
Yeah he got the interview because he wouldnt DARE ever press anyone on the horrible things they do... hes a SOFTBALL PRO... how out of touch are the people in these comments??? Wow
The interview we needed. Incredible.
The immense level of value that’s in this interview is absolutely astounding, insightful,and inspiring.

Those who get it, get it. It’s okay. Whatever you take away from the conversation will hopefully satisfy your initial curiosity and interest in watching it all together.
@@robiik7 nah... He's tricking you into thinking he's better than you. And that's the only reason he is. He's a sham.
I'd love to see Elon and Jeff debate different decisions they've made for their rocket companies. Would be an incredible learning opportunity, though I don't expect that to ever happen, unless a future merger occurs.
