Ever wondered what truly makes someone successful? Is it luck? Innate talent? Or is there something more—something we can learn and apply in our own lives? In this episode, we dive deep into the wisdom of Jeff Bezos, not through the lens of Amazon’s success, but through a single YouTube video: his iconic Princeton commencement speech. This isn’t just another victory lap. Instead, Bezos challenges us to rethink the way we approach life and the future through a powerful framework: gifts vs. choices.

What to Expect:

A Road Trip Life Lesson: Hear the story of a 10-year-old Bezos on a cross-country trip with his grandparents, his obsession with numbers, and the timeless lesson his grandfather taught him: “It’s harder to be kind than clever.”
Gifts vs. Choices: Bezos distinguishes between gifts (talents and abilities we’re born with) and choices (decisions we make every day, like choosing kindness). He reminds us that while gifts are valuable, it’s our choices that shape who we truly are.
Bezos on the Future: From clean energy to understanding the human brain, Bezos paints an ambitious picture of the future. But he makes it clear: progress depends on the choices we make today.
The Amazon Origin Story: Learn how Bezos took a calculated leap into the unknown, leaving a secure job to start Amazon. It’s a classic tale of risk, vision, and trusting your gut.
