Key points David Rubenstein's Interview with Jeff Bezos


No introduction is needed for Jeff Bezos and what he has achieved with Amazon and moonshot projects like Blue Origin. Recording here another interview from David Rubenstein with Jeff Bezos on the key points I learned. In a recent discussion with my teammate and partner on observations from this video,  we were talking about how curiosity helps in discerning what will help me invest our time or talent in exploring what others have learned and what are the things we can actively discard and say 'No' to.



  • Trusting your gut instinct and how you feel about things is vital for the decision-making process
  • Ideas an innovation can come from the colleague who is stuffing boxes with you on the floor
  • What do you really want to be known for at the end of your life? A good father, husband, and one who left some legacy
  • Respect and honor the people who were key influencers in your life
  • Be curious, be hungry, dwell in 'what if' questions and possibilities. If you will, you won't hesitate to move from one end of the country to the other or even from one country to another.
  • Make decisions keeping the decade framework in mind not to please the stock market ticker
