    This man really leans in to a conversation.

    Jeff represents every aspiring business person who is goal oriented, has clear vision, and who is enthusiastic about starting their business. The interviewer represents every doubting self-absorbed critic who think that they know better.

    He almost seems like he's on drugs – but it's more likely just pure intensity and passion. He KNEW everything he was doing and he didn't care if the interviewer or anybody else thought differently. "That's bad math".

    Amazon's customer service (getting help with issue pre/post sale) is HORRIFIC. Chaining AI with scripted non-English speakers does not work. However, Amazon's customer experience is, by far, the best out there and everyone is copying them. It's insane that I can flick my thumb and press my index finger in my phone before bed, and have the item I bought in my doorstep the next morning.

    Customer experience is not the only thing, which matters. Employee treatment also matters. Amazon is exploiting their delivery drivers through DSPs forcing them to deliver in harsh conditions , discouraging them from calling in sick, which is why nobody should buy anything from Amazon.

    This singular focus by Jeff is why Amazon continues to be successful. This interviewer just didn’t get it.

    Poor Jeff was holding on the his hair for dear life. I’ve been there Jeff.. I’ve been there. At least we finally decided to shave it at some point.

    Wow, I am basically Jeff Bezos…

    You could just see the drive and determination within him during this interview to turn Amazon into what it is today. I bet he was working 100 hr weeks back in those days.

    What goes on inside this man's brain? What does he see that I don't? What does he understand that I don't?

    Not sure who this interviewer was but what an idiot. He was looking for any angle to bring down Bezos and his business savy, and Bezos just kicked his a$$… I'm not a Bezos fan but he has created an empire from hard work and that I admire.

    The reason this guy is so rich is cause everyone bought from him even if its just one thing he got us to invest into his idea
    Even if it was just one item
    Everyone became his customer plus he moves kinda interesting just trying to get a simple idea across from the guy who just doesnt get it
