Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky took the company public,
laid off 25% of its staff and navigated worker demands for
flexibility – all during the pandemic. Oh, and his mom moved in
(and made him quiche every day). In this conversation with Kara,
Brian discusses the challenge of being professionally successful
and, sometimes, personally lonely. They talk about how the pandemic
may have permanently changed how we work, travel and live. And Kara
gets answers about the company’s lack of transparency on those
dreaded cleaning fees. Before the interview, Kara and Nayeema
talk about billionaires owning social media networks. They discuss
Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who seems to be
riding the MAGA train to amass power in the Republican party. And
they reflect on the story of Iranian rock climber Elnaz Rekabi, who
caused a stir on social media this week in the midst of the
nation’s anti-government protests. … oh yes, and they
dispense some dating advice. If you want advice – it doesn’t have
to be about dating – call 1-888-KARA-PLZ! You can find Kara and
