Did Jeff Bezos Plan Amazon's Dominance from the Start?

Joe asks Steven Pope, founder of the wildly successful agency "My Amazon Guy,” how Amazon achieved its success, questioning whether it was a happy accident or a calculated plan.
Steven responds, asserting that Bezos is a visionary and that it was all according to plan. He explains that early investments were key, sharing his experience with a women's plus-size clothing company in Baltimore. At that time, Amazon didn't have FBA, and he was part of the beta program for advertising. Amazon had nearly a hundred FBA facilities before most brands utilized them.
Steven describes Amazon as a vertically integrated logistics company first and foremost. He highlights that Amazon now makes more money from advertising than AWS, pointing out that they chose growth over profit for nearly a decade, with stockholders rewarding this vision. Despite concerns, Amazon continues to grow, with Prime memberships at 82% in the US. Steven concludes by marveling at their continued success.
