  • On this episode of The Circuit, Emily Chang visits Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky while he plays host in his San Francisco home. Chesky shares how he went from gluing cereal boxes to pay off his startup’s debt to running a multibillion-dollar business. Along the way, he says Airbnb’s darkest moment may be what saved the company-and him.

      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.

      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 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.

    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.
