It's the holiday season, and to market, let's dial up one of our favorite interviews from Big Technology Past, a one-on-one with Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky. We cover so much ground in this conversation, including cleaning fees, and Chesky's early thoughts on what will become his founder mode leadership philosophy. Since 62% of you found this show this year, according to Spotify, this interview will be new to many of you, and it's always a fun listen even if you've heard it before, especially in this season of travel. So Ronjan and I will be back next Friday to pick up where we left off.
And now here's Brian Chesky in person in our first ever best of big technology. This episode is brought to you by Akash. Open models have caught up. Your AI bill hasn't. Kimik 3.1 and other top open models now go toe-to-toe with the big proprietary ones.
So why pay proprietary prices? Akasha Mel runs them on Akasha's open cloud. No waitlists, no lock-in. Visit Akasha ML.com slash Alex to sign up. That's akashml.com slash Alex.
