“Someday we can offer more than 5-star hotels”: Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on his visions – and dating


He's a driven man on soft feet. The Californian tech entrepreneur arrives punctually at a hidden artist's shed in Berlin's Kreuzberg district. Kadir, a German-Turkish dancer, is supposed to teach Brian Chesky and his global leadership team the art of Turkish rap calligraphy. This is a special drawing technique based on a spoon dance.
The performance is part of the new "Discovery Tours" that the Airbnb founder is currently presenting on a trip around the world, and which Airbnb customers will be able to book in the future. Yesterday Paris, tomorrow Tokyo, Seoul. Jet lag? Discipline, concentration, and full attention are a joy for the entrepreneur, one that comes across as completely effortless.
Mr. Chesky, how do you feel when you get up in the morning, being the king of the bed in the world – is that inspiring or stressful?
