Someone in 2024??

Me 🎉
We all come back from time to time
😊
Reid Hoffman, if you’re reading this, thank you for not interrupting him and let him speak.
Great job ... Reid let him go, and to Brian's credit, he did a fantastic job staying on topic and thoroughly answering the questions without getting to wordy and repeating himself.
from here we can see that Reid himself have respect to this man, and wanna listen more than speak.
YES! Thank you, Reíd!
this. Thank you Reid!
notice how much he says "we" and "our".
sign of a great leader
Dude isn't narcissistic.
Yeah unlike a Sam Altman where everything is "me" and "i"
This is the best startup talk I've ever watched. Brian is a wealth of knowledge and an amazing story teller. Reid is a very patient interviewer that let's his hosts talk. Thanks for the priceless insights.
I was going to comment the same the same thing!
Let’s?
@@blackjackool who asked fr !!
This is the best billionaire storyteller I've listened to, he's got my attention in the palm of his hands. Brilliant
@Sergio Nieto Wat
@Sergio Nieto wat
yup, he's captivating
@Sergio Nieto boohoo muh sad immigrant story.
@Sergio Nieto no one asked
This dude really said bless you in the middle of the beginning of his story. Legend.
@Katie Ellen Tu Very constructive. Well done.
Care to elaborate though? Or is it just a cheap bait?
Shit! This is worth more than I could possibly put into words. Almost 10 years later after this talk and it's more RELEVANT than EVER!!! CRAP!
I reckon a movie like The Social Network but based on Brian and airbnb would be awesome! Anyone agree?
I completely agree.
Lol that's true but what does that have to do with anything?
naw would be boring if there's no drama
I think a more high octane business version about ofixu.com could be more interesting czcams.com/video/M6GBqqk2mY4/video.html
@@charlech so you think that isis incident isnt dramatic?
I LOVE that this guy is not a programmer, he's into art which is close, he's creative. But he is not an engineer. LOVE THIS STORY
wait... so he didnt code airbnb?
@@user-ii3cp7ot3sAirBnB wouldnt be a particularly hard service to code. Besides, the genius of AirBnB does not reside in its software implementation.
@@skateboarderlucc what would you say the genius in Airbnb lies then? Would you say how it's overall idea and how it makes travel accessible?
@@HtheKing its virality ppl now say "yo u wanna get an airbnb?" to party or getaway to the lake or travel to a foreign country. its for the consumer ppl and the landlord wannabes
@@HtheKing It's like uber for renting a place.
It connects people with rooms available to people that need a room at will.
Reid himself possesses a river of startup knowledge but It's really amazing to see how carefully he is listening to Brian like he's also learning like rest of the class. Cheers to you Mr. Hoffman ✨
So many great lines: the difference between entrepreneur and unemployed is mindset.
not rly u also need an education, capital and health.
@@tpeterson9140 all of which can be acquired with good planning and discipline
@@AdamTradesOfficial Good planning and discipline are skills. Usually easier to learn coming from a background with stability, social- and economic capital, and if you have access to good healthcare. Harder if you come from a poor and/or chaotic background (parents/neighbourhood/country). You can seldom plan or discipline yourself out of bad health by the way, eating well and excersize is good (and is easier if you have education, capital, and health from the start), but it's hard to plan and discpline yourself out of getting cancer, getting hit by a drunk driver, strokes, and so on...
@@tpeterson9140 they made capital on the fly. They educated themselves as they needed it.
Health.. you can pay for that, but yeah, that can hit you from the side. However that is the exception, not the rule, so don't make that excuse unless it's the honest truth.
And even then, it's no excuse. Find a way that works for you.
@@assaulth3ro911 Fuckin'-A RIGHT!! Bravo! Bop n Weave, Hit n Move, Pivot, you can play the "yeah but" or "what if" game until your blue in the face, but end of day... keep going, keep getting up, keep going until 3 or more people physically stop you(this joking peeps).
@xilence Well said!
He is so likeable.
really...

Indeed I agree
@@airbnbwarning-dangerous-de8815 aaaaa a pas été fait pour le moment on a pas le droit
What a pleasure to have an interviewer who let the guest speak and don't seeks atention! Hard to find
i think is the best video from the series
This is, as many others in the Blitzscaling series, one of the best talks I have seen. The way which Reid collaborates (also seeing in John Lilly's behavior) is just amazing. These folks are collaborating indeed and are after looking at scalability as a art and also as theory.
This amazing! Thank you Brian Chesky and Reid Hoffman.
This was amazing storytelling, felt like I was right there building the company with him
"Ramen profitability" liked that term.
Awesome video! Brian Chesky does a great job at conveying his thoughts and principals while simultaneously coming across with genuine delivery.
This talk contains so many insights that I gave up taking notes and soaked it all in and bookmarked it. I will rewatch again and again until I squeezed out every drop of insight from this talk. Brian Chesky is awesome!
Wow. That was an amazing video. The best video on business I have ever heard. I will be relistening on a loop. Thank you for this amazing content!
Kept rewinding this to really absorb all of this. This is one of the most insightful and inspiring talks about start-ups and business I've heard. Hearing the stories and lessons from people like this gives us a glimpse into their perspective on our own lives, and helps us think about things in new ways. Thank you!
Every time I rehear this story, gives me new inspiration!! So amazing interview and sharing~
This is one of the best talks I have seen..
airbnb is devastating all the cities of the world, forcing thousands of people to sleep on the streets, due the rents increases caused by Airbnb.
@@francescotabanelli5461 how is it increasing rent
@@bks5493 As the Owners make more money renting out their apartments like hotel rooms they make more money as with normal rent so more people opt to that choice the ones rented long term also drive their price up to make a similar amount that’s the general theory
You can’t help but admire Chesky’s leadership skills and audacity.
This is the most amazing talk I've ever listened to and watched the entirety of.
Brian's a great speaker and what he says in this talk is so captivating. Top talk
This is amazing interview. Thank you bro
Brian brings warm to my heart, happy to see his success :)
The density of useful info in this is amazing
This was a great interview and loved learning about his journey. I completely agree that you must become a life long learner because the moment you start thinking you know everything you limit your growth and can't see past what you know
Love this video. Brian is such an authentic entrepreneur who has now become one of the world’s most impactful CEOs. Reid did a great job interviewing Brian and an even better job investing and coaching Brian.
Very inspiring. Thank you Brian, Reid and Greylock!
I love this so much! Life changing! Go Brian Chesky!!!!
Our home, Magnificent Osborne in Sydney Australia, has been the greatest gift we could ever give and share. Being able to 'walk others' through the mindset of letting go possessions; as it is your heart, life and neighbourhood you share.
This was great. Learned SO much from this one video
It really is a blessing that Reid Hoffman and the others (John, Allen, and Chris) are the interviewers and are able to flow these interviews wonderfully. Usually, interviewers that are held by people of the same class of achievements tend to let their ego fill in the space of the interviews, causing frictions. No hate on this podcast, but "This Week in Startups" (TWIS) is almost a perfect example of this, though I do very much enjoy the podcast. Anyway, I just appreciate Mr. Hoffman for letting the guest give their 2 cents in a very welcoming way. All entrepreneurs have their own stories and drive they just want to share, Thank you for sharing this class.
such a Great Video... learnt so many things.... Thanks a ton for uploading..
Brian Chesky is the best entrepreneur, mentor, and product-focused person in the community of entrepreneurs, that I've never met. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
Excellent and most informative!
Truly the best interviewer ever extremely respectful and his questions are spot on!!!!!!!!!
Great interview. And your nemesis actually motivated your success by scaling up quickly. Send him a thank you
Thank you this was really inspirational and thought provoking indeed. All the very best, CEO Compare Education Costs Australia
thank you for uploading this video!!! Students in Stanford are so lucky !!
Brian talked about the market being small soon I remembered the Peter Thiel speaking the same about small markets and monopoly
Super valuable presentation by Brian Chesky!!
This is the best interview to watch to learn how to redesign everything in a start-up. Never earned so much about culture before this. Brian is such an amazing storyteller.
Thanks for sharing this! What an inspiring journey.
This guy is the reason I bought Airbnb Stock and won't let it go even if the price tanks for some time. I have 100% faith in him and his ability to grow the company bigger and bigger and bigger
Wow! What a great story. This makes me feel like anything is possible.
There've been websites like Airbnb before Airbnb, I've used them in Europe, but I think for these guys starting in the US, getting the support, network and inspiration from Silicon Valley, and also the qualities of the founders made it a success.
C'est surtout dans la vision que le tout c'est jouer il l'on conçu comme un reseau social avec une forte communauté de passionnés.
Great and informative talk, really appreciate it, thanks!
Brian Chesky is my favorite most underrated CEO. Love the guy
To folks, who see the other guy like a host from the college, but in reality he is Reid Hoffman, a great entrepreneur and investor. It is remarkable how is taking the conversation forward and also not interrupting like many trained hosts.
I wonder how many people actually don't know the guy interviewing Brian Chesky, because he is a Billionaire as well and co-founded a "platform" just like Brian did.
Founder of LinkedIn & former PayPal executive VC
Great lecture, thank you for sharing and thank you brian to have a great talk sincerely
Seeing this during quarantine and all I can think about is how to stop Brian from touching his face again and again :P
What an amazing talk! You can clearly see the difference between a good CEO and great CEO.
01/04/2024 thanks CZcams for Recomend me ... Any one here 24.
This is really insightful. I’m saving it!
Excellent, excellent, excellent! Than you Reid and Brian - the humility was lovely! Raza =)
This idea of trying to learn things properly from less sources but good quality sources is one which resonated with me a lot! Thanks Brian! Raza =)
A lot of respect to this man! Their story is worth reading, eating cereals just to survive. The struggle they went through is a great foundation to persevere as a start-up. :)
not an accident he was able survive & he’s now worth billions & his company is now worth 100 billion. Still has a punch able face.
Woah that was just awesome. No words!
one of the best video i have ever seen
This is a great talk. Don't understand who's downvoting this.
Turnt all that struggle into a $50billion business before IPO. Amazing
$100B !
Rreoohhihoihrhoohuuooohuoh
This is absolutely fascinating
What a story teller and what a story!
Pretty much this guy has collected profound knowledge from really smart guys like Steve Jobs and the book of “Start with Why” - and the usage of that knowledge in a practical way, got him the Airbnb and its success.
37:58 literally reinvents the HR and management in 2024! He is a legend designer.
so much great stuff!!
really needed this
A lot of gems here.
Brian Chesky’s leadership at Airbnb has been remarkable.
I love how he describes the product as being the user experience. Whereas Facebook's product is the actual user and their data, which is toxic, but AirBnB's model is a positive one.
Damn this conversation is awesome.
22:00 the advice of ‘do things that don’t scale’, ‘make 100 customers really love you’
29:50 after customers met them they’d get more engaged
This is gold. Solid gold.
I love that video! Thank you so much Brian for sharing this intimate information with us, your fellow entrepreneurs (unemployed, lol)
Userful interview indeed. Reid Hoffman was right on point with solid questions.
Remember Peter Thiel Saying "the last mover always seems to be the one that pockets the most in the end"?
Check How Reed reiterated about his SocialNet in late 90s, again reminding us of that the idea that Brian was conceiving with his friends is just something not new under the sun. They instead made it happen and ensured that it serves the problems they were encountering right there on the sport... I believe this is how great companies are start, not through Lean Startup.
Peter Thiel is a Genius...
Green is Beautiful lean startup is a method, which the basic principles are vital. However, it was written in 2010 a lot has changed all that matters is stay lean and iterate fast. Get to market fit as soon as possible....
He is not.
I agree, this is the worst idea to work. Congratulations to Brian on such a success!
Oh man, I have watched it twice in a single day, that's how much i loved it but how is Brian surviving these covid times given he keeps touching his face !!
this is 5 years old
This was more than awesome..
This is better than a Hollywood blockbuster
Good, he focuses very granuarly on each and every aspect of the user journey. That is where the opportunity lies for great service & product experience!
Being Designer means to design or reinvent things around you to improve things by micro or macro.
I love this man, he is a beast!
Damn, he really is a good storyteller. He doesn't even need to ever program/code, he's a literal computer. His processing speed and output is vanward. I suspect he has an eidetic memory. The tale of these Samwer brothers is interesting.
Still a classic in 2021
This is a MasterClass level video for free on CZcams
this is epic! thanks
“Mom i’m a cockroach, i got in!” hilarious but says a lot
Does he talk about 'challenges of scale"? I skipped to spots all along and didn't hear it.
Great video!
Feels like his brain is going 100 mph. Great video 👍
20:58
What was the thing that you did, or the couple of things that you did to change the inflection? - There were two -- is this still on? - Yeah. - There were two things. The first thing was Y Combinator did was, it basically created a structure for us to work on it full time, and live together. So in other words, we were all kind of working on it, but it was like everyone had other things going on in their life.
I dont wanna tell that im unemployed so i tell thm that im entrepreneur 😄,,, nice line , and the story is so informative and motivated....
This is absolute internet gold!
best one yet.
Brilliant!!!!
Air bnb was ahead of its time damn
Watching this for free on CZcams is nice.
