What’s Next For Jeff Bezos? – Tech Tuesday In Two Minutes

What will Jeff Bezos do next when he is no longer the CEO of Amazon?

Everyone knows that Jeff Bezos is stepping down as CEO from Amazon. What he should do next? What do you think? Blue Origin (his space company)? The Washington Post (he owns it)? A massive charitable foundation? Imagine if he did focus on charity? He could make a bigger dent in our world than the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation… or… will he just play golf and grow a fried chicken gut? I believe that Jeff Bezos without a full-time job may be the most productive version of Jeff Bezos that the world will see and remember him for.

This is what Heather Backman and I discussed this morning over on Jack 103 FM for a couple of minutes.

What is Tech Tuesday?

If you ever find yourself wondering… What, exactly, is the point of TikTok? How can I make myself look better on a Zoom? Reddit? What’s that about? How do I help my kids be safer online? Who’s the latest creator and streamer that I should be checking out?

You are not alone.

Every Tuesday – for just a few minutes – I join Heather Backman (my old buddy from her days on CHOM FM) on the air at Jack 103 (Rogers Sports & Media) to give a quick blast about the current state of technology, media and Internet culture. We’re calling the segment Tech Tuesday (and we do it in just a few minutes).

Once the segment goes live on Jack 103, I will post it here for you to listen in, learn, share and engage….
