Pano ChristouGUEST
So if you own something, how are you going to cultivate this and improve this?
Jimmy McLoughlinHOST
What, if any, kind of unusual management practices do you have? So what I'm thinking of for this is Brian Chesky recently said, like, he doesn't have one-to-ones and so on.
Jimmy McLoughlinHOST
So is there something like that that you've kind of changed over the eight years of being CEO, which is kind of like conventional management that actually you now do differently? So there's
Pano ChristouGUEST
a couple of things, actually.
Bill FlynnGUEST
You could not reach Reed Hastings.
Bill FlynnGUEST
And Brian Chesky at Airbnb did the same thing, but he did it deliberately.
Bill FlynnGUEST
He said, I'm going to tell you, I think it was two weeks.
Bill FlynnGUEST
And then he found out what broke.
Chad HartGUEST
Our house rules never covered that kind of stuff.
Chad HartGUEST
And I saw like Brian Chesky, he's the CEO of Airbnb, on an interview and he's like, you know, people have these lists that are crazy.
Chad HartGUEST
I don't know that we're also supposed to be slaves to a platform.
Chad HartGUEST
What I mean is, as a property host or owner, you own the property.
Shawn O'MalleyHOST
They might be.
Shawn O'MalleyHOST
I mean, I do see the point, and Brian Chesky at Airbnb has talked about this a lot, of the idea that AI will help margins internally.
Shawn O'MalleyHOST
But obviously, that doesn't come for free, right? I'm sure Shopify's AI compute bills are just completely crazy.
Shawn O'MalleyHOST
We heard about with Uber a while back that they had been pretty shocked by how much the company was spending on AI compute by handing over these kind of tools to their employees.
Mike SalgueroGUEST
I did because there was like a movement.
Mike SalgueroGUEST
There was Jensen Wong and then Brian Chesky and people were like, yeah, don't do one-on-ones anymore.
Mike SalgueroGUEST
And what I realized was a one-on-one, like you said, it's like, okay, what am I trying to drive? Like, what's the thing I'm trying to drive? One-on-ones are great for personal connection time, right? Like get to know someone, ask about whatever, you know, like get to know them better.
Mike SalgueroGUEST
And you need to maintain the personal connection.
ThreadguyHOST
I don't look good at all.
ThreadguyHOST

ThreadguyHOST
She's like, what should we do? I'm like, what if you went to the movies? She goes, Laffy Face, Laffy Face, Laffy Face.
ThreadguyHOST
And I was like, the fuck was that? It's just that she's an AMC pro member or whatever.
Angela HeydornGUEST
No, those are the big ones.
David GreeneHOST
OK, now I know that Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb, quickly becoming everybody's biggest supervillain, has said since 2022 that he doesn't like checkout tasks and he calls them a pain.
David GreeneHOST
Now, I don't think he's wrong here.
David GreeneHOST
I don't like checkout tasks either.

Angela HeydornGUEST
David, I actually have a question for you.
Angela HeydornGUEST
Why do you think that Airbnb is so one-sided when they're trying to run this type of a business?
David GreeneHOST
I don't know, I haven't talked to Brian Chesky, but my intuition tells me they understand supply and demand.
David GreeneHOST
And right now, Airbnb is competing with the other online travel agencies like VRBO and all these startups for the guest.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
I heard from people where Americans are asking guests to do much more than, say, European Airbnbs do.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
The CEO, Brian Chesky of Airbnb, recently acknowledged the problem, saying guests shouldn't have to put towels in the washer, start the laundry.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
These people are on vacation, and they're on vacation from their chores.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
Some hosts, though, pushing back, Jill, there's a Change.org petition arguing that washing your own dishes is a basic courtesy and it'll create a challenge for turnaround times.
Jack Crivici-KramerHOST
So our theory on why Airbnb took the hard line and canceled the chores.
Jack Crivici-KramerHOST
And why Brian Chesky knew he was going to take the wrath of Airbnb hosts across the world.
Nick MartellHOST
It's because it's
Jack Crivici-KramerHOST
never too late
Sara ViennaGUEST
Like the reason that Airbnb and is who they are has a lot to do with the founders.
Sara ViennaGUEST
Brian Chesky in particular, you know, you hear him speak and he speaks about how important quality is, how important critique is, how important people are at the top of their game in the hiring process or in order to create this alchemy, because it's not just one thing.
Sara ViennaGUEST
And so you need to apply all of the common tools to the process.
Sara ViennaGUEST
And if you're hiring people who don't necessarily know how to design for these experiences, if you're shipping things quickly and not learning from them quickly enough, you're going to erode trust with your clients, right? That's where the trust comes.
