At Home With the Billionaire CEO Behind Airbnb | The Circuit

[@TheGreatOne428]

One of the few CEO’s who still talk like a human

[@drunkntigr]

Literally. Zuch is a full on android. Elon is a martian.

[@hopefullrideon]

This one just has a better writer. How y'all fooled so easily? 😢

[@notapplicable7810]

It's by design. He's hitting a bunch of buzz words to show that he connects with people, while completely hiding the fact that his company is partly responsible for a lot of issues in current American real estate. Toms of livable houses have been converted to now empty air bnb housing. In New York it's become a huge issue that completely inflated the market for people who just want a place to live. On top of that it's a bubble.

[@mika_chu]

@@notapplicable7810 but when he was making a company, it wasn't by design, right ? it was a though about novelty and new opportunities. You can't predict the outcomes, repercussions ... what do you think

[@notapplicable7810]

@@mika_chu he's a billionaire, his entire public personality is curated by a PR team. He knows what he's doing and wants to be looked at favorably.

[@alexeponon3250]

"You have to grow faster than your company..." That's really deep

[@GeneDexter]

Based on Airbnb’s stock price, he’s accomplished that. 🤮

[@phoenixsubliminals]

I've read your comment just as he said it 👌🏾

[@mikemuponda1781]

Man for a ceo that’s young and not married you would think he would be in some empty all white glass floors mansion and yet he is just in some cozy house that actually feels lived in and like a home. That’s dope af

[@chintanjani]

He’s a designer at heart

[@BauldyBoys]

Art grad not a CS grad so it's not surprising he has taste.

[@MikeOnTheInterwebs]

Looks cozy but in SF that’s a multi-million dollar house

[@_IMNNO]

Maybe it’s just a set, or he hired interior designers to make it more cozy.

[@autofocus4556]

People have different tastes. Designers have different tastes.

[@shabbir4540]

Brian's clarity shows his thorough depth of understanding and kudos to Emily to have created this engaging conversation.

[@nivita9830]

I think Brian's greatest accomplishment is he is a good human being. His sincerity has a "little boy" quality which I find refreshingly absent in CEOs who have reached the level of success he has...can't put my finger on what it is exactly, but it shines through when he talks. Makes me so happy when people who sincerely want the best for humanity get the means to make it all happen. More success to more people like this and we're all in good hands.

[@TheyCallMePDub]

Really great interview. Brian comes off very down to earth, a deep thinker and philosopher, and clearly a talented business manager. Emily did a great job with this one.

[@lfgoooo]

Brian is one of the best and most rounded Founder/CEO's in history...it just comes so naturally to him.

[@DJ0305]

This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you Emily for asking such great questions! And just wow to Brian, such a humble & inspiring guy!

[@boohere2]

I actually rented Air bnb during covid lock down. I didn't care. I wiped everything down Clorox wipies. I was fine. That was the first time I used Air bnb. I liked it. I find too that it's not people renting out homes they live in. Sometimes they just buy homes and rent it out for an income.

I can relate so deeply with his mindset and needing to be the leader and trust intuition despite what others had to say. Brilliant and humble guy who is a business role model of mine for sure. Very validating. Thank you

Amazing work Emily! Brian is a tremendous leader and visionary.

[@nicolem889]

It’s unbelievable how impactful this one person is. It’s utterly amazing.

[@nicothinksdifferent4715]

It's incredible to see how a Billionaire businessman can be so humble. I wish every CEO was like that

[@mfarshidfar]

Awesome show! I really dig how artists can bring that human touch to their work, and you can totally see that in Airbnb. Big shoutout to Emily for being an awesome host, asking cool questions, and keeping the vibe friendly.

[@pennanthills]

"How can you believe greatness unless you see it" -- great quote!! Absolutely loved this interview. Great leader with a beautiful mind.

[@Itsbennyfuchs]

Not only is he talking like a real human, he is not alienating himself from the outer world. As a multi-billionaire, he takes his dog for a walk through his neighborhood, stays connected, being as warmhearted as it gets. Really struck me! Great great interview!

[@BenShutUp]

Ok, wow, this style of journalism was so chill and interesting. I feel like I was with y’all and learning, walking and baking. Great work Emily Chang!

[@Oijimakinde]

This was such a beautiful and inspiring interview. Felt so genuine and wholesome. Thank you Emily and Brian.

[@brianmayero4934]

you are welcome

[@AestheticsbyAnnie]

I loved what he said about how once he was bossy and clear, he was actually more effective. I see a lot of managers give off the impression that their employees have more agency and decision making control but then the manager/exec ultimately wants a certain outcome.

[@joshuroy]

Such a well produced series. I love that they go where they are comfortable and get to know the surroundings that reveal more

[@HimanshuSharma-oy9ss]

I liked the complexity of his worldview. He's really a thinker. Great personality

Emily Chang is an phenom interviewer. This was great! Keep putting stuff with her interviewing people!

A peculiar CEO, very oriented into design. Its like Steve Jobs but without the arrogance XD I love design, I think I have discovered somone to follow. Thanks for the video.

[@sandeepneutron471]

I absolutely loved every second of this interview; 'details aren't the details, they make the product', 'simplifying is not removing things but understanding something so deeply and to apply the essence of it', 'best time to start a company is when you are ready', 'baking is like drawing and cooking is like painting'💯💯❤👌🤘🙏🙏🙏🙏 and 'how can you believe greatness until you see it '🤩!

[@kirole7381]

A wonderful and enriching conversation, he has some moments where he puts himself on a pedestal, at the end he says, "How can you believe greatness until you see it, you know " when talking about his cookies, and yes, that view of San Francisco is just amazing !

[@Calvbread]

Absolutely amazing interview, Chesky is definitely one of the most admirable CEOs

[@stevensamuel4634]

Great interview, but I feel like she missed the mark to ask about the negative impacts Airbnb has had on communities, particularly housing prices and the cost of living in cities

[@scottf1000]

I was looking for the first comment of this nature. Air B and B has had such a negative effect on housing stock in many countries and there is a human impact to that.

[@fabdan5745]

She actually did. Replay the interview starting at 19:20 and you'll see Brian answering that very question.

[@creg67]

So we are going to ignore how approximately 25% of the housing market is taken up by a combination of individuals and big business (Wall Street) that purchase homes to be rented? Thus driving up prices and making it harder for individuals to buy a new home. I believe places like Florida are notoriously difficult for first time buyers as this is what is known as a "hot" commodity for rentals.

Doesn't seem fair you guys are deleting any negative comments. AirBNB has done enough damage during their history, to the cities they are in, to costumers and everyone in between. Facing criticism should be encouraged and allowed, otherwise do not have an open comment section. Are these interviews or paid PR ? you should openly let the viewers know that.
