cities people culture
What I've been surprised by is not how different people are, but how similar they are. There are certain types of Airbnb people, and they are in every city in the world - it's just that in some cultures, there is more of a generational divide.
important culture missions
Having a clear mission and making sure you know that mission and making sure that mission comes through the company is probably the most important thing you can do for both culture and values.
strong connections culture
Brand is really the connection between you and your customersif you have a very strong culture, then the brand will come through.
writing culture email
[On culture] It's living the core values when you hire; when you write an email; when you are working on a project; when you are walking in the hall.
passion way culture
Culture is simply a shared way of doing something with passion.
strong passionate employee
Companies that hire employees..that are deeply passionate create companies that customers are really really passionate about, and those are the companies that have strong brands.
strong independent people
The stronger the culture, the less corporate process a company needs. When the culture is strong, you can trust everyone to do the right thing. People can be independent and autonomous. They can be entrepreneurial.

talking asking want
Whatever the press is talking about, they want to keep talking about it. So instead of asking yourself, 'How can I get them to start talking about me?', figure out a way to get yourself involved in what they're already talking about.
office want labs
The office is the laboratory and meeting your users is like going into the field. You can't just stay in the lab. And it's not just asking users what they want, it's about seeing what they're doing.

stars thinking interesting
I think the next big thing in music, and it's kind of because I come from the tech industry, is actually, I think it's the platform... Spotify is incredibly interesting. I think the platform is becoming the star.
