> Bezos looked awkward and nervous Sounds about like every time I've heard him speak. He probably let out some really loud laughs too. Remember his welcome video to Zappos employees? It was a paper based presentation (giant sheets!) where among other things he explained mistakes he and Amazon made and then shared "everything I know". He's awkward at moments, but authentic throughout. I like his style. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗I always remember Jeff Bezos' 3 lessons: obsess over customers, invent, think long term. [VIDEO] I love the way he unfolds his ideas simply and disrupts markets, one at a time.
