Culture is simply a shared way of doing something with passion.

Somebody asked me 'what's the job of a CEO', and there's a number of things a CEO does. What you mostly do is articulate the vision, develop the strategy, and you gotta hire people to fit the culture. If you do those three things, you basically have a company. And that company will hopefully be successful, if you have the right vision, the right strategy, and good people.

A company's culture is the foundation for future innovation. An entrepreneurs job is to build the foundation

Build something 100 people love, not something 1 million people kind of like.

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.

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.
