MacKenzie Scott: “I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job, she told me I should go for it.”
The Unseen Architect of Amazon. Before she became one of the world’s most generous philanthropists, MacKenzie Scott was the behind-the-scenes force in Jeff Bezos’s early journey with Amazon. In this episode, we uncover how MacKenzie helped draft the Amazon business plan, worked as the company’s first accountant, and supported their family through the uncertain startup years. Her loyalty and belief fueled Amazon’s rise from a garage endeavor to a trillion-dollar company. Even after personal heartbreak, MacKenzie transformed her support into philanthropic action, showing that a true King Maker’s influence can extend far beyond the venture they helped build.
