(3:50) #4 Most Downloaded Episode of 2023 (rebroadcast): "One day, Amazon will fail" + why Sears is not a loser brand.

Jeff Bezos once told Amazon employees, "I predict that one day, Amazon will fail." And that's a fair expectation for a successful company; most do.

Our first iteration of Amazon was the Sears Catalogue. In the 1800s, there were no timezones across the United States. Sears began selling watches to help keep time. We have Amazon because we had Sears -- and the story goes back two hundred years. Sears Catalogue, the railroads, and democratizing American commerce - history rhymes.
