Can we just give it up for James Yan. He is a brilliant interviewer.

To me, he is a star. The interviewer was absolutely brilliant and professional and perfect. Perfect questions, fundamental questions with a lot of business substance. His method. Very short questions and listening without any personal comments or breaks. To me he is the best interviewer I have seen for years. Then there is his precise pronunciation, his calm voice, and by that the creation of a perfect atmosphere for the top performers to be interviewed. I am a professor in excellent communication, based on neuroscience and modern psychology. Thank you very much. I really enjoyed your level.

Brian is a wonderful storyteller and communicator. Its in the way he weaves narratives with Logic. Great interview!

The interviewer was AMAZING! Great jokes and great questions.

Top 3 thoughts from the talks - 1. Make something that 100 people truly love than something that million people kind of love 2. Always try to deliver more that what's expected than just doing ok - make 5 star + experiences 3. In crisis time, be optimistic, lean on your principles and be decisive

There is no greater freedom than handing back the key to a airbnb apartment knowing someone else has to maintain it. If you enjoy renovating and decorating then perhaps home ownership is for you. For me, property is another way we get tied down and outside of exceptional cases I'd rather invest in Stocks/REITS to get exposure to real estate and other investment opportunities.

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

WOW 🤯 What an interview! There are so many insights about product-market fit, product development, design, and more. You can really learn a lot from Brian and the Airbnb story.

That note on DESIGN is PROFOUND. One of the great analogies of DESIGN THINKING. Loved the conversation. It was fun and it made sense, what he did, he did, lessons.

What a great talk. This kind of honesty is hard to find nowadays.

1- When people hate you, meet them! Because it is hard to hate people in person! Then you can make the situation into WIN-WIN! 2- It is better that fewer people love you than many people just like you! Airbnb is trying to give better experiences to fewer people and increase the conversion rate! 3- 98% of everything just shows up! And 98% of everything is showing respect to people! 4- The surprise is not how different we are in different cities but how similar we are! 5- You can make the bridge between people and make a win-win situation! That is so easy! 6- You need to be decisive and OPTIMISTIC! 7- You have to go into the det ls as much as you can. 8- The number one reason for death in North America is Loneliness! If you can solve this problem, people will pay you so much! 9- If I win alone, I am not gonna go far alone! 10- Act fast 11- Just start making something! make something with all the resources you have!

Extraordinary Stuff. I love the first 15 minutes even more because that involved his early part of life and interactions inside his family involving mom and dad and what they had told him about his choices in life. As a parent, I am able truly related to it. Totally enjoyed it. Very inspirational. Great job Standford GSB for bringing this up.

So inspiring to hear the results-driven decisions he made and the way storytelling

After listening to Brian, you can tell he spends a lot of time looking it the data and analyzing it.

Wow! Fantastic talk and great advice from the heart! This is the best Stanford GSB interview I've seen, which says a lot. Also,I liked the interviewer's excellent questions and how the interviewer let Mr. Chesky do the talking. Often the ego of interviewers really gets in the way and the interviewer does way too much talking. Here this wasn't the case.

Excellent interview. Interesting stats Brian gave on loneliness and how important it is for people to connect in person. Thank you.

Has anyone noticed how with how Airbnb, your quoted price would usually 2x by the time you actually booking a place? And then you pay the cleaning fee but yet you still have to take out the trash, do the dishes, remove all bedsheets and pill covers, etc ....the list goes on. Airbnb used to be cheaper because it was heavily discounted to win market shares. But nowadays Airbnb would cost just as much as a hotel room and I would still have to do all of the above mentioned cleaning tasks. My group of friends used to get an Airbnb everytime we went skiing because it was cheaper, but now we favor hotels much more because the cost is the same and we don't have to do any cleaning when checking out, and most hotels have much better cancellation policies

Great interview. Many products are built without a thought of what problem it solves for. What value does it create for customers so they love it. The interviewer sounded like Joel Olsteen.

This was a random pick that turned out to be surprisingly impressive. Brian is quite engaging.

what a smart man! enjoyed listening to him. good lessons learnt

Being a designer platform coming from a Design background , this feels so good to be connected through an entrepreneurial perspective. It is so much more relatable on zooming out and understanding the problem and creating creative solutions to any problem. Indeed design is simplifying things . AirBnb is no doubt an amazing startup , covering so many different cities that too in different countries is such a huge Ecosystem in itself. Huge respect!

One thing I loved about this interview is that it's clear

I hope this interview addressed how this paradigm of turning homes which are meant for raising families and providing a haven for workers and ownership into one of the greatest variables contributing to high rents and ultimately homelessness. Sad that his parents are social workers. And the connection isn’t being made.
