In an intimate conversation with podcaster Dax Shepard, the 68-year-old billionaire, who recently visited Vietnam, shared insights into his own struggles and the effort he puts into public speaking – an area in which he feels Steve Jobs excelled.

Bill Gates notes how Steve Jobs could still present as if the ideas were still fresh in their minds at the time. Bill Gates admits that this natural flair for engaging with audiences is something he has always aspired to.

The billionaire also shared that he has applied a similar approach to his own communication. Whether at Microsoft or in his philanthropic endeavors, communicating clearly and directly has always been his goal.

According to Bill Gates, Steve Jobs' meticulous attention to detail, from lighting cues to the arrangement of presentation slides, shows a level of perfectionism that is admirable. For example, Steve Jobs once got frustrated with a small lighting problem during a rehearsal, showing how much he wanted the final presentation to be perfect.
