0:00.0 | Alright, it's Ty here from Hollywood, Book of the Day. We're going to be talking about this |
0:05.9 | crazy amazing book, kind of mind-blowing. The Everything Store, it's a biography by Brad Stone |
0:12.4 | about Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Keep this perspective here. This dude, Jeff Bezos, made $38 billion |
0:20.7 | for himself. That's his net worth right now. I think he owns 83 million shares of Amazon. |
0:25.4 | Not a bad thing to own shares in. The good, bad, ugly, everything you need to know about somebody. |
0:34.2 | Now remember, Amazon was counted out, right? 2001, tech bubble came. People are like this |
0:42.4 | internet things, not legit. Nobody's going to be able to beat old school businesses like Walmart |
0:48.0 | or whatever, but like they say, Jeff Bezos may be laughing last. He's probably going to build |
0:55.6 | one of the first trillion dollar revenue companies. Remember, there's no bricks and mortar, |

1:24.0 | always, but there's different summary. What I do is I kind of put my own spin and those things |
1:29.2 | that I think are relevant for your life today and the things obviously relevant to my life, |
1:34.3 | hopefully, we're on the same page. So, I also, I take notes in the book, but I sometimes, |
1:41.5 | depending on the importance of the book, I'll also download it on my iPhone. It's usually the same |
1:47.6 | cost. It's weird. They charge about the same price there. So, here's a part from the book that |
1:56.4 | stuck with me the most. It was talking about Jeff didn't believe in work-life balance. Now, |
2:02.7 | that's controversy subject, right? Everybody's all about work-life balance. I talk about the good |
2:08.4 | life, which is about health, wealth, love, happiness, balancing these, but his take was, you know, |
