Amazon. No company has impacted the internet \\u2014 and all of modern life \\u2014 more than this one. We\\u2019ve waited seven years to do this episode, and are so, so excited to finally dive into every nook and cranny of this legendary company. And of course because we\\u2019re Acquired and this is Amazon, we couldn\\u2019t contain it all to just one episode\\u2026 even a 4+ hour one! So today we focus on Amazon.com the retail business, and we\\u2019ll have another full episode on AWS coming soon. And because all great series are trilogies, to fully understand Amazon we highly recommend starting first with our previous episode on Walmart, which truly is the giant\\u2019s shoulder that Jeff Bezos stood upon. Let\\u2019s go!!\\xa0
