Brian Chesky (part two): Exponential Growth

In part one, Brian and I spoke about the effect the pandemic has had on Brian personally and the changes he has made to both his personal philosophy and his business. But then, the conversation shifted to the future.

In part two, Brian shares his thoughts on the importance of design, why there is no better time than now to start a company, the power of exponential growth, the importance of thinking and acting long-term, and why it is so important to build businesses on love and trust.
