Episode notes

Sometimes people get a little culty and an follow the letters of the rule instead of the principles of it. To me, the definition is like, o if i go build this thing, i have created a inser size business here,. hundred million billion dollar business. I love eragrees, for the record. But he's, he himself is the first, and he's actually set it on this pid gas light. Sometimes people park in the maximum viapri produc sometimes instead of the minimum viable product.

In this episode from February 2021, early Amazon execs Colin Bryar and Bill Carr -- in conversation with a16z's Sonal Chokshi -- go beyond the well-known artifacts of Amazon innovation, like the memo and the press release, and share the leadership principles, decision making practices, and operational processes that helped Amazon continue to innovate, invent new products and learn from its mistakes, as it scaled.

It’s all based on their book, Working Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon, drawing from the 27 years combined experience of being in the room where it happened at Amazon.
