Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com and the new owner of the Washington Post, talks about failure, luck, and brains in business. "We were unprofitable for so long and people predicted our demise for so long, we did develop thick skin," says Bezos. The CEO explains how leadership and timing helped Amazon succeed in spite of doom-and-gloom predictions.

This conversation was moderated by Charlie Rose and took place at the Aspen Institute's 26th Annual Awards Dinner at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, November 5, 2009. Jeff Bezos was presented with the Aspen Institute Henry Crown Leadership Award at the event.
