Why it’s worth your time

A slogan got loose on the internet and this is the conversation where someone is actually pressed on what it means. Chesky is unusually specific about how he runs things, and the interviewer does not let vague answers pass. Useful whether you agree with him or not.

Listen for this question

Where are you copying a style instead of solving your own problem?

Best way to listen

At a desk, while you have work of your own on your mind.

After the episode

Name one thing you delegated because it was uncomfortable, not because it was right.

Who it’s for: Anyone who manages people, or is managed by someone who quotes founders.
