My guest today, Steve Anderson, read all of them.
Then he pulled out 14 growth principles that explain how a company that lost money for a decade became one of the most valuable on earth.
We get into the one most founders get wrong.
Bezos called it unwarranted risk aversion.
The idea that playing it safe is the most dangerous move you can make.

Let's unlock it.
