EP 225: Wisdom, Leadership, Creating Disruption and Airbnb - Chip Conley
Attaining true wisdom in a fast-moving digital age
Chip Conley is considered a rebel hospitality entrepreneur. He’s a NY Times bestselling author, and disrupted hospitality - his favorite industry - twice. At 26 he founded Joie de Vivre, transforming an inner-city motel into the second largest boutique hotel brand in America. He sold it and joined Airbnb to help transform the promising start-up into the world’s leading hospitality brand. Today Chip is Airbnb's Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership. In this show we discuss wisdom, leadership, and creating disruption.
Here's what we discuss in this week's show:

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
