In my opinion, a great interview involves not only the interviewee but also the interviewer. This interview was outstanding on both sides. The questions were well thought out in advance, and it’s clear that Brian has a true passion and love for what he has created with Airbnb. I’m looking forward to the new developments in Airbnb coming in May 2025.
Absolutely! Brian is spot on. There’s a real need for a state-of-the-art management playbook tailored for founders. It would be invaluable if he invested time in sharing these counterintuitive insights and experiences. Given his unique vantage point, he’s perfectly positioned to distill and clarify this modern operational model, making it accessible for all of us.
I recently sold half my tech stock holdings due to all-time highs, leaving me with $400k. Should I invest in ETFs now or wait for a market correction considering potential inflation?
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Your biggest threat to customer experience are the coglomerates that list multiple properties and run the experience as a corporation. Maintain and control that customer communication experience and don’t let small companies that try to squeeze every dollar run the experience for the customer. I’ve stopped using Airbnb 2 years ago because of this. It used to be you connect with the host and have that niche personal experience more and more it’s now one LLC that owns or operates 50 flats and uses third party everything to manage the property. Airbnb should own that entire standardization of experience like a Marriott does across its brands. They are all unique but every single one has the Marriott experience.
All this foundermode but Airbnb can’t fix the fundamentals. We don’t want fancy new shit. We want fair prices (i.e not an extra $300 cleaning fee), accurate listings (i.e. pictures match reality), and a hotel-like experience (I.e. not having to basically clean the entire place before leaving). Foundermode the shit out of that my friend, pls.
honestly, if you want a hotel-like experience just book a hotel lol I personally never experienced the obligation of cleaning the place or had issues with photos. I think they do an extraordinary job managing the listings since it's global and individually managed by thousands of different hosts
It's hard being a founder, l started a neobank that is set to launch in South Africa and for a while year l failed to raise $250k to go to market. I still remain optimistic but lm scared l will abandon the venture and ten employees to feed my family if we don't raise
This is what every startup founder knows. You cant just leave people up to their own devices. The amount of time this came back to bite me because the remote employee went off and did 10 mins of work thinking that the job is done and then DID NOTHING FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. This is why Elon Musk is so successful, he is down on the factory floor getting into the details talking directly with the people who wrench the factory together.
Perhaps, they're still a young company but a point to consider is that people tend to be most productive when they have "guiderails" that keep them on course which is what this seems to be. Those that don't like it are probably entrepreneurial (as he says about himself early in the interview) by nature & should start their own company
This guy has got to see a hypnotist or something bc of how much he touches his nose Dude definitely does coke. Ya can’t blame it on allergies or sickness when it’s every damn video
I think one on one is needed when company is lean and at the start when no one besides the guy with the vision knows the general direction. Like how Brian says direct of their directs report to a certain manager and certain functions of the biz do not need to be in certain meetings for e.g marketing in the tech call same for other functions but yes as the team gets bigger i suppose group calls are important.
@@SSSS7-p8fSeems like that’s just for you, because in watching I didn’t feel that connection. It’s evidently not an objective one, but interesting opinion.
@@Rudzani The guy literally went out and hired former Apple employees to understand how they did stuff so he could replicate it. He has no original ideas and the Street doesn't enjoy his commentary either - see the stock price that's barely moved (gone down actually) since IPO.

Don't work for money; make money work for you. Invest wisely today to create the freedom you desire tomorrow...
Many new tra-ders face challenges without proper guidance. I found success by learning from James Clark's expertise.
@@bayhunter6exactly that's why I always seek Mr J Clark's guidance in all I do 😊

Celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today from a $6k start. Investing wisely has given me time for family and future plans.
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
My boy Brian dropped so many gems here. Those who have ears will hear 💯

what a great interview
He's getting a bit preachy at this point. Still, it's the best way.
Amazing. Tysm for the insights, in my opinion you are a trail blazer in so many ways thank you.
spot on
Seems to be the management theory of Situational Leadership
This was a great ad for NOT working at AirBnb what is this dude talking about?

Exactly the micromanaging model
Is wild! I will pass…

31:10 - 31:22 - The interviewer throws up a surprise.
Your pricing model sucks and airbnb hosts are full of creepers
Make something better
He’s so zesty
He started good company but why he speaking like stock broker in the city? Is he on work hard play hard mode? 😂😂😂
He's trying so hard to be like Steve Jobs, its super cringe TBH.
HE SEEMS ON DRUGS, COCAINE?

I fully understand why Airbnb sucks…. Thank you
He is scam bastaard. Airbnb is dead
👃❄️ 👀👀
Watch his nose grows as he destroys the company
Anyone else find the tone of his voice very irritating?
I understand that he’s giving business advice but it just feels like he’s scolding me
