New York Times bestselling
author and hospitality entrepreneur, Chip Conley is a leader at the
forefront of the sharing economy. At age 26, the founder of
Joie de Vivre Hospitality took an inner city motel and turned it into the
2nd largest boutique hotel brand in the world. After being CEO of
his innovative company for 24 years, Chip accepted an invitation
from the founders of Airbnb to help transform their promising home
sharing start-up into the world's largest hospitality brand. In
four years as Head of Global Hospitality & Strategy, he taught his
award-winning methods to hundreds of thousands of Airbnb hosts and
created the world-renowned Airbnb Open.
Chip's books share his theories on
transformation and meaning in business and life. In WISDOM@WORK:
The Making of a Modern Elder (September 2018) he shares experiences
from his tenure at Airbnb. Chip is also the founder of Fest300
(part of Everfest), San Francisco's annual "Celebrity Pool Toss"
that has raised millions for children and families, and the Hotel
Hero Awards that shine a light on outstanding hospitality
employees. He is the recipient of hospitality's highest honor, the
Pioneer Award, and holds a BA and MBA from Stanford University, and
an honorary doctorate in psychology from Saybrook University. He
serves on the boards of the Burning Man Project and the Esalen
Institute, home of the Conley Library.
Chip brought a wealth of modern elder wisdom with him into this conversation so expect to learn lots, including:
This is a must listen for anybody listening to this who is beyond the age of 35 or so, in fact, there’s lessons in this for all ages, because we are all living in a world that is constantly changing, and in order to survive, we must reinvent.
With that, I bring you Chip Conley.
