I had the chance to meet Tony in 2009, ~early July. Looking at Wikipedia now, I guess it was a month before they sold to Amazon. I was part of the first "Zappos Insights" class. I was able to find my application, and posted it on Twitter, sorry anyone who sees it who was involved: https://twitter.com/CameronBanga/status/1298465073430700033

No idea what people think of Zappos, their culture, and Tony in 2020. I was able to interact with him I guess via email and in person from ~2008-2010?

Every interaction I had with Tony, and every story I heard, he was just Tony. Personally happy for him, as 21 years at the head of any clothing/fashion/design company has to be tough.
