> 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?

He's awkward at moments, but authentic throughout. I like his style. [this video]
Authentic, candid Bezos presentation sharing mistakes and lessons.
I always remember Jeff Bezos' 3 lessons: obsess over customers, invent, think long term. [this video] I love the way he unfolds his ideas simply and disrupts markets, one at a time.
