Masters of Scale : 1. Airbnb’s Brian Chesky in Handcrafted

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you want your company to truly scale, you first have to do things that don’t scale. Handcraft the core experience. Get your hands dirty. Serve your customers one-by-one. And don’t stop until you know exactly what they want. That’s what Brian Chesky did. As CEO of Airbnb, Brian’s early work was more akin to a traveling salesman. He takes us back to his lean years – when he went door-to-door, meeting Airbnb hosts in person – and shares the imaginative route to crafting what he calls an “11-star experience.”

Read Paul Graham: “In order to scale, you have to do things that don’t scale.”
