This. Say what you will about Bezos, but he seems to be the most impressive tech founder out of any of FANG and any of the large unicorns founded after Facebook.

Such an impressive list of deft moves that he made (in a range of different areas) one after another between '94 and 2000 to set Amazon on a path to meteoric growth.

One thing to keep in mind is that he worked for nearly a decade in product/business roles before founding Amazon.

I agree that that explains some of the difference. Not sure it means that he isn't the most impressive.

I'd also add that in his stints at different firms pre-Amazon he was quite clearly an outlier among high-achievers.

Anyone has a link to the above video?

I think it's this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWRbTnE1PEM

This'd be one instance of said interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWRbTnE1PEM
