Episode notes

The episode is brought to you by our friends at NCS capital. They're a long only global equity fund that manages money for institutional and accredited investors. Today we want to talk about the idea that really started NCS's investment philosophy 10 years ago, complexity investing. It grew out of research work on complexity by the famous Santa Fe Institute.

Amazon. No company has impacted the internet — and all of modern life — more than this one. We’ve waited seven years to do this episode, and are so, so excited to finally dive into every nook and cranny of this legendary company. And of course because we’re Acquired and this is Amazon, we couldn’t contain it all to just one episode… even a 4+ hour one! So today we focus on Amazon.com the retail business, and we’ll have another full episode on AWS coming soon. And because all great series are trilogies, to fully understand Amazon we highly recommend starting first with our previous episode on Walmart, which truly is the giant’s shoulder that Jeff Bezos stood upon. Let’s go!!
