Episode notes
Amazon's strategy of focusing on long-term growth rather than short-term profits exemplifies the importance of cohort economics in developing a sustainable business model. By investing heavily in user acquisition and fulfillment early on, despite initial losses, companies can create a customer base that increases spending over time. This approach challenges conventional thinking and suggests that prioritizing future profitability through strategic reinvestment can ultimately lead to significant success.
