Would you please explain the following in red more easily?
Jobs got an audience with the Atari's president. But Jobs' youth and inexperience was showing. While trying to charm the executive and win his support, Jobs propped his bare feet up on the man's desk. The man got a front-row view of what accumulates when you don't wear shoes. It was a deal-killer.
Thank you.

Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
Thank you all for the help.
