Risk, Growth & The Amazon Playbook with Steve Anderson - Episode 57
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
Not every entrepreneur sets out with a master plan. Many find themselves running a business simply because an opportunity appeared, a problem needed solving, or a career took an unexpected turn. But once you’re in it, growth is no longer optional—it’s strategic.
Today’s guest, Steve Anderson, has spent years studying how one of the most influential companies in the world approached growth, risk, and long-term thinking. He’s the author of The Bezos Letters, a deep dive into the principles that helped Amazon evolve from a modest online bookseller into a global powerhouse.
In this conversation, we’re not talking about copying Amazon—we’re talking about understanding the thinking behind it. We explore how calculated risk, disciplined experimentation, and long-term vision apply just as much to small and mid-sized businesses as they do to global enterprises.
If you didn’t plan on becoming an entrepreneur—but now you’re responsible for growth, decisions, and risk—this episode is about giving you a framework to think more clearly, act more intentionally, and build something that lasts.
