SBTI Episode #9 Before Amazon Part 1 - FedEx
Manage episode 434332371 series 3557303
Ahh, isn’t it easy to have things delivered these days? It just seems with a click of a mouse or a tap on your smartphone app you can get pretty much anything delivered. Did you know Doordash will deliver batteries to your house on demand? I saw a commercial the other day where the announcer proclaimed, “your remote-control batteries are dying all the time” and encouraged you to go order fresh ones from door dash.
If you have listened to my previous episodes, Episode #1 on Robber Barons, where you will hear about the origins of Amazon and Jeff Bezos and in Episode # 6 , where I talk about the origins of Food Delivery, you can see how far we have come with regards to the internet’s involvement with our day to day lives.
But this podcast is called success before the internet, so as you know I like to talk about things that happened before this glorious invention or phenomenon that has its roots before the internet, even though these phenomena are well entrenched in our daily lives.
This is a two-part series so, listen on for more!
