Description
Joe is best known as the co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Airbnb, a company you’ve probably heard about once or twice - valued at $31 billion at the moment (yep - that’s billion with a B). But this isn’t his first rodeo – he’s been a passionate advocate of design and an entrepreneur since his childhood, channeling that passion into everything from his college side hustle of selling his specially seat cushions for the uncomfortable stools in his art classes to various earlier online businesses, designing a furniture line called Neighborhood, and his current project, Samara, Airbnb's internal design studio. Today on the podcast, * The role of sports in Joe’s life and how in many ways they paved the way for his path as an artist and entrepreneur - I absolutely love this part of the conversation because it so closely mirrors my own path, growing up as an artist living in the body of a jock * So many of Joe’s biggest moments have come from doing what I call “the other 50%” - for example how he met Brian Chesky, the co-founder of Airbnb by starting his college basketball team * We talk so much about pushing past “no.” Enjoy!
