Brian Chesky is the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, the platform that turned spare rooms and homes into a global marketplace and redefined how millions of people travel. His episode on Inflection Moments follows how an unemployed designer in San Francisco, trying to pay rent by hosting guests on air mattresses, ends up building one of the most disruptive companies in hospitality history.​Chesky’s story runs from being dismissed by investors who saw “strangers in your home” as crazy, to grinding through accelerators and cereal-box side hustles, to methodically redesigning trust with reviews, design, photography, and guarantees. Later, he has to guide Airbnb through existential threats: the regulatory pushback from cities, intense competitive pressure, and a near-death experience during the COVID-19 collapse in travel, all before re-focusing the company and taking it public.​Chesky's story is worth studying because it shows how a founder can use design thinking, storytelling, and first-principles trust architecture to unlock a behavior that initially sounds insane. For founders, the takeaways include how to turn a “toy” idea into a movement, how to stay close to customers by literally living with them, and how to make painful, fast decisions when a crisis suddenly shrinks your business overnight. For investors and backers, Chesky’s arc is a case study in backing founders who are missionaries rather than mercenaries; and in how category-defining companies often emerge from deeply non-obvious, even ridiculed, starting points.Chapters( 00:00 ) Introduction( 02:05 ) Inflection Point #1: The First Weekend( 10:12 ) Inflection Point #2: The Cereal Box Hustle( 19:04 ) Inflection Point #3: Do Things That Don't Scale( 28:31 ) Inflection Point #4: The Trust Crisis( 37:01 ) Inflection Point #5: Emerging from the Pandemic( 46:08 ) Common Threads( 51:19 ) Closing ThoughtsConnectFollow our channels below if you're interested in insights, ideas, and lessons from the greatest entrepreneurs in history:Newsletter: www.inflectionmoments.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/david-franklin8456/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0aqoOm5...

En 2008, Brian Chesky y sus amigos no podían pagar el alquiler. Con tres colchones inflables en el suelo y una idea que pocos creyeron posible, nació Airbnb , la plataforma que transformó la forma en que viajamos. Pero lo que comenzó como una aventura casi improvisada terminó enfrentando una de las peores crisis de su historia: la pandemia. En este episodio descubrirás cómo Chesky reconstruyó su empresa desde cero , redefinió el liderazgo con su visión del “Founder Mode” y convirtió el caos en un nuevo comienzo. En este video aprenderás: Cómo nació Airbnb desde un pequeño apartamento en San Francisco. Qué hizo Brian Chesky cuando todo parecía perdido. Las claves del “Founder Mode”: su modelo de liderazgo opuesto a la gestión tradicional. Cómo Airbnb pasó del colapso a ser una de las marcas más humanas y rentables del mundo. La filosofía detrás de su éxito: liderar con propósito y presencia.

Chip Conley is the founder of Joie de Vivre hotels, the second-largest boutique hotel brand in the world. At age 52, he joined Airbnb as Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy, reporting to CEO Brian Chesky, who was 21 years younger. He earned the title of Airbnb’s “Modern Elder” by guiding the young founders on leadership and culture while learning Silicon Valley’s tech mindset himself. Today, Chip leads the Modern Elder Academy, the world’s first midlife wisdom school, and is the author of best-selling books like Wisdom@Work and Peak . He champions the idea that age and experience are assets—and that midlife can be a launchpad for renewed purpose and impact. In this conversation, we discuss: 1. The reality of Brian Chesky in “founder mode”—the good, bad, and stressful 2. How Chip went from running 52 boutique hotels to becoming Airbnb’s in-house mentor in his 50s 3. The “mentor and intern” mindset: how to simultaneously teach others and stay curious like a beginner 4. Why AI might actually favor older workers (hint: human wisdom vs. artificial intelligence) 5. His framework for navigating midlife transitions and finding meaning after 40 6. Specific tactics for older professionals to thrive in tech companies 7. Surprising data that midlife is often the happiest time of life—and how to leverage your 40s, 50s, and beyond 8.

The figures are mindblowing, it’s probably the fastest growing tech platform in the tourism industry, it has changed lives all around the world, especially in France. What began as a scrappy side gig has become so much more than a company: it’s a whole new way to explore the world. And yet, back in 2007, Brian Chesky’s “grand vision” was born simply because he couldn’t cover his San Francisco rent. The story is now legendary: a sold-out design conference, travelers crammed into town, and a friend’s inflatable mattress sparking a lightbulb moment—to offer a cheaper night than any hotel. AirBed & Breakfast was born. Over the next decade and a half, those humble airbeds turned into spare bedrooms, then entire homes—until the small startup backed by Y Combinator became a global phenomenon. Today, the company that flipped lodging on its head isn’t stopping at homes: with “from couch to castle” as its rallying cry, Airbnb is pivoting into services and experiences, on its way to becoming the ultimate all-in-one travel “super app.” In this unmissable episode, Brian Chesky pulls back the curtain on two decades of explosive growth—while never losing sight of his “founder mode.” You’ll hear: Brian’s top hacks for turning a profit on Airbnb How Airbnb’s strategic pivot layers in everything from private chefs to hair stylists Building a platform people will use in unexpected ways Why AI will upend the way we interact with every app The two bold bets that catapulted Airbnb to global domination Whether you’re curious about the past, excited for the future of travel tech, or just want to pick the brain of a true Silicon Valley OG, this episode of GDIY is a can’t-miss.

Check out the episode in its original version here : https://www.gdiy.fr/podcast/ brian-chesky-vo / Airbnb est plus gros que n’importe quel groupe hôtelier dans le monde. 80 milliards de dollars de transactions l’année dernière — plus de 2,5 milliards de séjours depuis sa création. Les chiffres sont époustouflants. C'est probablement la plateforme tech qui connaît la croissance la plus rapide dans le tourisme. Elle a changé des vies partout dans le monde, notamment en France. Ce qui a commencé comme une petite activité bonus est devenu bien plus qu'une simple entreprise : c'est une toute nouvelle façon d'explorer le monde. Pourtant en 2007, quand Brian Chesky imagine le concept c’est avant tout parce qu’il peine à payer le loyer de son appartement de San Francisco. L’histoire est aujourd’hui bien connue : une conférence remplissant la ville, des participants venus du monde entier, et le matelas gonflable d’un ami ont donné l’idée du siècle, proposer une nuit moins chère que dans n’importe quel hôtel. La rencontre entre l’offre et la demande est parfaite : AirBed & Breakfast naît. Au fur et à mesure ces “Air Bed” sont remplacés par des chambres puis des maisons entières et en 15 ans la petite start-up passée par Y-Combinator devient un succès mondial. La plateforme qui a changé pour toujours le monde de l’hébergement annonce un pivot vers des services et expériences, pour faire d’Airbnb une “super app” aux possibilités infinies. Dans cet épisode exceptionnel Brian nous raconte tous ses secrets pour créer un géant tout en restant fidèle au “founder mode”, son essence.

Today, I’m talking with Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who is only the second person to be on Decoder three times — the other is Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Brian made a lot of waves earlier this year when he started talking about something called “founder mode,” or at least, when well-known investor Paul Graham wrote a blog post about Brian’s approach to running Airbnb that gave it that name. Founder mode has since become a little bit of a meme, and I was excited to have Brian back on to talk about it, and what specifically he thinks it means. Talking to Brian is a ride, but I think I held my own, and I think you’ll really like this one.

On this episode of Coder Caffeine we chit-chat about iced creamsicle lattes from Niskayuna, New York, decode an inspirational quote from Brian Chesky, and provide a quick mental framework to shift from complexity to clarity and simplicity by design. You'll also hear a powerful Mantra brought to you with a vast quantity of matcha based enthusiasm to power your day - all because we want you to be emboldened by the audacity of simplicity, disrupt the status quo, and revolutionize industries with intentional design - just like Brian Chesky! In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the travel industry to a grinding halt, with Airbnb facing an existential crisis. Bookings plummeted, and the company's revenue declined by 80%. Brian Chesky faced his biggest challenge yet, with many predicting Airbnb's demise. However, Chesky adapted swiftly, pivoting the company's focus to support hosts and guests affected by the pandemic. He introduced flexible booking policies, provided financial support to hosts, and even offered virtual experiences. Through his leadership and resilience, Airbnb not only survived but thrived, with the company going public in December 2020 in one of the most successful IPOs of the year. Chesky's ability to navigate the unprecedented crisis cemented his reputation as a visionary leader. Creds Community!
