Jeff Bezos is Stepping Down

Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1081

Hey, hey Teri here with your flash briefing for what day is today?

It is Wednesday, and some big news came out yesterday about Amazon and I just want to share this with you.

It is related to Alexa indirectly, but here’s the deal, Jeff Bezos has announced that he is going to be stepping down as CEO of Amazon, after nearly 30 years since he founded the company.

And in his letter to his employees, to his team, he said that he’s going to be taking over the role as Executive Chair.

And he said in that letter, as Executive Chair, I will stay engaged in important Amazon initiatives, but also have the time and energy I need to focus on the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions.

And so I am very interested to know what he means when he says his other passions.

I was in a room on actually Clubhouse, and you may have seen me on Clubhouse if not, please join me there, I’m spending a lot of time in clubhouse, I think it’s a wonderful voice platform.

Amazon has so much of the infrastructure to make a big disruption in healthcare

But we were talking in some of these rooms about what this could mean and what other interests he may have, I wonder if this could be something that he is planning about healthcare.

I believe that Amazon has so much of the infrastructure to make a big disruption in healthcare, including Alexa and being able to access health information and get health services through smart speakers.

I also wonder if there could be some kind of interest of his in robotics, and perhaps maybe a robot that could incorporate voice technology or Alexa.

Anyway, these are all just speculations, but I’m having fun and we had fun in these rooms just discussing this.

So love to hear your thoughts on that, hit me up on Twitter DrTeriFisher or come find me on Clubhouse if you’re on there, same username, and I’d love to hear your thoughts, alright?

Have a great day, we’ll talk to you tomorrow.
