Wide range conversation between Jeff Bezos and David Rubenstein. Many great thoughts and ideas.
One take-away for me: Jeff Bezos lives in the future, his thinking is focused 2-3 years ahead. One goal is to offer products and services 2-3 years before any competition comes in. He had many of these 2-year advantages, including Amazon.com and the Kindle. The one outlier among the competitive gains was AWS, where it reigned 7 years before a credible competitor entered the market. While his efforts initially started small, many grew to enormous size. All along, Bezos monitored progress with key metrics.
