Brian Chesky on priorities, easy money and discipline

In life, one of the things I learned from the pandemic is you can do anything you want in your life; you just can't do it all at the same time.  You have to have ruthless prioritization.  And one of the pitfalls of tech the last 10 years - especially the last 5 years - is probably a plethora of capital.  Too much money.  And too much money means too many things at the same time.  And so we had to get really disciplined.  We said, "what we need to get focused on is great customer service and getting enough hosts."  And those became our priorities.
