Don't let Oz du Soleil (yes, I know, as a french speaker his name makes me cringe) style and flamboyance fool you, this guy is the real deal. The self-proclaimed Excel MVP is an educator that that makes excel easy to understand.

This is the value of standing out, ladies and gentlemen. The lesson to be learned from this is that once can be funny, entertaining while doing serious things and being effective. This is how I wish every school teacher I ever had was. Someone whose personality is part and parcel of what they do and doesn't hide their quirks in the name of blending in.
