Part 6/8:
Risk, Opportunity, and Entrepreneurial Resilience
Throughout the interview, Bezos reflected on his entrepreneurial journey and the importance of viewing risks and opportunities through an expansive lens. He argued that society often overestimates risk while underestimating potential rewards. His ability to maintain confidence amid uncertainty has been a key factor in his success, particularly when launching Amazon and its ambitious projects, including Blue Origin.
When asked about the business long-term viability and financial potential of Blue Origin compared to Amazon, Bezos expressed optimism that Blue Origin would eventually evolve into one of the most impactful ventures he has ever undertaken—if it can successfully lower the costs associated with space travel and commercialization.
