• 0:51
  Speaker 1: say a lot about you that you did? You did?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: And sometimes I still when I hear that, I'm like, really,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I did that? Okay? You know you Yeah, I have
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a general tendency just uh. I felt when I was
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: reading your bio that you're a grinder. In other words,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you know you just you accomplished task. You're not a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: person that sits back and look at your your past
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: efforts because you're always moving forward. In general, because of that,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you tend to not realize the greatness or the path
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that you are the journey that you create is pretty impressive.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: By Frank, Well, thank you, And I think you're right
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: about that. It is keeping my nose down to the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: grindstone and just continuing to push forward and um, finding
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: new ways to be impactful. So hearing you know, being
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: reminded of the path that that I've created is always um,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it's always inspiring, even for myself and just you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: says a lot about the journey. UM, when you're committed
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to something and committed to doing good. You know, it's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: really interesting when I when I hear you brs because
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I hear a humble first, I hear a humble person
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that I'm communicating with, and it's almost um when I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: hear that humbleness, and almost doesn't surprise you that that,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you know, we all always go back to college and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I was just I was just in college, Okay. I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: was trying to get an education, trying to get sometimes
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: trying to get to the next party, trying to get
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: past that grade, just trying to get there and then
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I looked twenty years thirty years later, I go, Wow,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that's that's a lot. That's a lot going on in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: your life for Sean, What what stands out the most
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in your career so far? Because it's not stopping. I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, I mean there are so many things
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and moments, UM. I think if I had to say,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you know, my work right now is is really impressive,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and not to diminish it, but I do think the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: high point for me and something that I'm still really
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: really proud of, is planning the Women's March UM. And
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that for me was something that I never I didn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: go into it envisioning that I would be making history
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: UM or envisioning that the turnout would be what it was.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I kind of went in because I was passionate about
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: creating space for people UM to raise their grievances, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and that was you know, I was. I was committed
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to the cause of justice and ensuring that you know, again, UM,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: all of the people who were saying that they were
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: going to come, We're going to come to Washington, d C.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And have UM have an opportunity to have their collective
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: voices heard. And it was something where if I would
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: have known what I was doing when when I was asked, like,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: will you come out with this, I probably would have
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: said no because I would have been afraid. Um, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: would have been afraid that I was going to sail.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I would have been afraid of all of the many
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: things that could have gone wrong. Logistics overwhelming. It is.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It is overwhelming. And I don't think people really understand
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the complexities that are involved. Um. And maybe they do,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: because you know, I had prior to that march, I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: had planned the fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and I was younger. Um, I was a newer face
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in DC. I mean people knew me, but you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I had worked for Reverend Sharpton, and people just saw
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: me as someone who worked for Reverend Sharpton and never
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: understood maybe the skills and talents that I had. UM.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And so I remember planning the fiftieth anniversary of the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: March on Washington and some of the seniors and an
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: elder saying to me, you know, listen, baby girl, hand
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: me this march because I don't know that you you
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: know a lot, and it's it's probably too much for
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you to handle. And and I said no. I mean,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you know, it was clear that first of all, Reverend
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: sharks And had entrusted me with with planning that march
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and leading that effort um. And you know, I didn't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: want to disappoint him, so I said, no, we got
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it um. And it made a lot of people sort
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of stand up and look at me and say, oh, okay,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: she does she can do this um. But never once
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and planning that fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: did anyone ever say to me do you have a permit?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Like do you know what you're doing outside of the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: elder saying you know, this is a lot and you
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: probably need some help. Um. Whereas with the march, the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Women's March, us having a permit became you know, it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: became front page news of like the women's Marches happening,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: but they don't even have a permit um, and and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: folks don't under saying like what the permitting processes? I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: had done it a lot, and so for me it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I know this process, and I know
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna have to go through, and I know
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: what it takes to get a permit. But it became
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: sort of a spectacle, and I think um overcoming all
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of the naysayers, people who said the Women's March is
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: not going to happen because they don't have to permit
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the women's March, you know, is it's gonna it's gonna flop.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: It's you know, people won't show up. All of the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: things that the naysayers were saying that does come across
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you know, the you know, the whole you know, go
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: all the way back to the media man march. You know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you know that that was the ultimate nay sayer that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that why would they come and what with the general purpose?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And so but it is, you know, all you do,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you you you you put the tools in place. That's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that's what you did. And then and then they came.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Let let's walk through the process of you know, because
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you know, you kind of get a word about it,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the buses that are coming, the hotels are being booked up,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the airlines that are going to have a difficulty coming
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in being you know, you start getting a little signs
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you know that Okay, something's happening here. And so when
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: did that tingle really run up your back on my god,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it's happening. It's really really happen. I mean, I think
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it sort of happened along the way. So when when
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: we planned the Women's March collectively, um, you know, there
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: were there were a lot of moving pieces and UM,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: but I really owned the piece that was what people
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: showed up and experienced specifically in d C. And then
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: with touchpoints and connections with all of them marches across
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the country and so like you know, helping folks with
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: logistics and different parts of the country. But it happened.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: We started planning two months before the march happened, and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: those two months you also had four holidays. You had Thanksgiving, Christmas,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, and King Day, um, and so a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: lot of people were taking off enjoying vacations. And to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: be honest, I actually, you know, I did take a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: vacation even in the midst of all of the mark's planning. UM,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and that was because of the experience that I had
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: had doing it. But yeah, but a lot of it was,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of it was ongoing. So when
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I signed on, it was like, Okay, a hundred thousand
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: people are going to show up to this march. And
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that was really through a Facebook post. So Facebook post,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of like, yeah, you say you're
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: gonna come, but are you really going to come? And
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: then as we started to get bus numbers and as
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: we started to get you know, flight numbers, I think
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it really it really didn't hit me until maybe the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: week of the March. Quite frankly, we know you were there.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I bring up this story because I wanted to. We're
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: about to going back to the actually why I brought
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you on the show. But I think in other words,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: when you say, what is a we have a Tiel
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: director of National Partnerships for Airbnb. How do you get there?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: You know how that because we're talking about a company
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: have deals with millions of people around the world and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: being able to associate not only activities that are playing,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: but also housing situations. So you have to have a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: global scope. Also, can't be intimidated by numbers. Have to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: believe that your vision can come and place. So I've
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: set the stage. You know who she is. When we
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna have a more detail about because um,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I travel a lot and a lot of my staff
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: have stayed in a lot of your facilities, and that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: we'll be right back with more with Janee Ingrad on
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: money making conversations. Okay, cool, you're listening to money making
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: conversations and just a continuation of a great interview I'm
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: having with Janee Ingram. She's the national director of National
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Partnerships for air being and be Okay, we talked a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: little bit about your past and and your your When
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you say national partnerships for air B and B, what
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: exactly is that it's it's a great question and I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and I it's one I get quite often, to be honest.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: So the way that I described my role, UM, Yes,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it's National partnerships, and what that means is within the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: u S, I oversee our community engagement and external affairs UM.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And the way that I describe it is I am
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the voice of the community inside the company, and I'm
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the voice of the company within a variety of communities.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And so I work with a whole host of different
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: types of communities, whether it's racial, ethnic, whether it's gender,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: religious communities, UM, you know, a whole host of the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: disability community, UM, veterans uh. And so basically I engage
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: these communities and ensure that they understand both what Airbnb
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: is and how they can be part of our larger
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: global community, and so really it's about welcoming people in
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and finding ways to ensure that are you know, that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: there's accountability on both ends. And so that's sort of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the role that that I holds, and it's a great
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: way for me to leverage many of the relationships that
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I've built um over time in ways that help Airbnb
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: achieve its goals and also help these organizations and leaders
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: achieve their goals. Just to just to give my listener
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: base some more detail about air b and b is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: one of the world's largest marketplaces for unique, authentic places
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to stay and things to do, offering over seven million
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: accommodations and handcrafted activities, with more than a half billion
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: guests arrivals to date and accessible in sixty two languages
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: across a hundred and eighty one countries and regions. Ah, again,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you're impressive. You know, this just just accepts all this
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: information that just just calculates it. Talking about this because
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I went into your background when I was doing the bios.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: It's just you just seem to be able to just
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: take this information and it doesn't even phase you. And
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and I looked at your background and said, you have
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a psychology degree from Clark University. That's one of you.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: That was your undergraduate correct, Yeah, I went to crack
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Atlanta graduated with the psychology degree. So does that help
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: you That is, that's just a part of your personality
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: for the numbers, just to overwhelm you use loud use
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Like you said in the middle of a big women's campaign,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you said, I'm going on vacation, I'm resting, I'm gonna
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: kick it, I'm go get my toes, you know, fand
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: up or something, you know whatever. Yeah, you know, I think, um, well,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things where the path
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: is one right where you're you're you're just again you're
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: on it, and you're focused on accomplishing a goal, and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it's sort of it just sort of manifests in the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: way that it does. Um, you know, my psychology degree
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: definitely comes into use, but not in the way, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: don't think in the way that you describe it. I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: think it's more in dealing with people, um, you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: m managing people. And that's how I kind of saw
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you know, that whole being able to you know, break
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: down information, to disseminate and not be intimidated by the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: overwhelming odds of accomplishing the task, because that's what your resume,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you rever keep screaming at large numbers, you know, doing
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the impossible, not not not not backing down from the opportunity,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: working against the odds and achieved the success. Your resume
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: screams that over and over and over again. And uh,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and that's what I said. I just had to go
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and go, well, what was the basic structure of this
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: person to be able to allow her to be able to,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you know, just to comprehend these levels of mass body movements.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: And then you with a company that's all they do
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is mass body movements. And then you just listen to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: all these different organizations from handicap organizations to veterans organizations,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to all ethnic groups, I'm sure, fraternity sororities, local business communities.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of different voices. Yes, it is. I mean,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: now that you're saying it, you're making it a point
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that I don't think I had necessarily honed in on
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in the way that you're you're saying, Yeah, there there
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: are a lot of different needs. I'm sorry, I'm making
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you feel special. I really am. I'm sorry because you
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: really are uniquely qualified to do this job, and everybody
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: can't do this job. And so so when I when
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I when I bring people on my show, sometimes I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: have to remind them that what you consider normal is
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: not normal. It's very uniquely special. But also the basis
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of how you're able to accomplish it in such a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: calm personality. You have a called me personality, you know,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and that's really well, thank you. Yeah. Keeping my head
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: in the midst of uh, you know, crazy situations is
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: something that you know, I think even back to when
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: dealing with the March and March logistics, it's like everyone
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: else might be freaking out, and somehow I'm able to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: stay calm, And I really I think that's God more
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: than anything else. Um, I don't want to like take
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: all the credit and be like, no, I've mastered this
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: ultimately ultimate. Yeah, given me a calming sort of presence
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: or the ability to stay focused on the goal even
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: as you know you're hitting obstacles um and and and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: roadblocks sometimes and just knowing that you're going to navigate
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: through them or around them or there will there will
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: be a way for the situation to work yourself out.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: And so it's that trust in that faith that allows
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: me to I guess sometimes keep going doesn't mean I
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: don't have meltdown, because of course, you know I'm human,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But I think more to the point is consistently I
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: do generally handle pressure. Well, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, let's stop.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Let's stop staying obvious. Now I can handle pressure kind
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of Well, really, will you make me think about everything
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I'm doing now? I'm probably you're probably doing five things
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: talking to me right now? Well, you know me, well
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: pointing somebody walking around, I'm on his phone on me
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm not looking. Here's the beauty of all. Very true.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about your your national partnership. Let's go, because
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get at the phone without explaining
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: exactly you went into detail. Different organization is it. Are
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: you in a position where people reach out to you
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: or are you reach out to them to create these partnerships?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: How exactly does that work for air B and B.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Generally it is people reaching out to us. I mean,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: but I think that there are opportunities where well I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: will reach out to you know, an organization or um
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a leader and say we want to engage you for
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a specific thing. But generally it is lots of organizations
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: reaching out to me and to us as a company
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and wanting to work with us. And I think we
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: are a brand that is I would say there are
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of people who know about us. UM. Generally
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: people are interested because it's you know, it's a younger brand.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: The company was founded in two thousand eight, so we're
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: just barely eleven years old. But UM our name has
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: become sort of a noun um in terms of like,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: when you're sharing your your house, it's like, oh, I'm
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: gonna airbnb, you know, staying at an Airbnb. And even
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: if it's not legitimately an Airbnb, I think that we
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: we have become sort of the Kleenex, if you will,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the kleenex version of home sharing. And and and that's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal thing. Um to have a company so young
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that that that's able to become part of the lexicon
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that is, you know, synonymous with with home sharing. So UM,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it's it's really amazing to have that. And I think
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it creates an appetite for people to say, we want
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: to work with you, we want to find out more
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: about what you're doing. And and then at the same time,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I think that there are things that people don't necessarily
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: understand about our business UM and and so for example,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we have experiences which you mentioned, are the local activity
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: that people can do, and I think that that's a
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: newer product that people are still just learning about or
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: just figuring out. UM. I speak often at conferences and
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: different events, and was just at one UM this past
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: weekend in New Orleans and home sharing. I think a
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: lot of people know. But then I say, you know,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: how many of you have ever heard of Airbnb experiences?
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: And the hands are significantly fewer UM and so yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's that there's an opportunity there. And so
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: in that instance, I might say we need to do
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: more with you know, ex community or with ex leader
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to ensure that people are knowing about Airbnb experiences because
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you know, quite frankly, you don't have to travel to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: do them. If you want to host one, you don't
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: need a home to host one in So, if you're
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: in a city where there are short term rental regulations
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: but you still want to flex your entrepreneurial muscle, there's
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a way for you to do that through Airbnb experiences,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't cost you anything. It gives you an
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: audience of millions of people that your your product is
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: showing up in front of UM and it's a it's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: an easy way again to start a business that we've
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: had an idea about a business, or to really profile
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: your business. And it's like it's like free marketing, you know,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it's free marketing to people who are traveling to your
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: city or people who live in your city who want
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to see and do something different than what they're normally doing.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: They're they're not trying to go to the churches or
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to that home on a weekend. It's pretty powerful. UM,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: miss Ingram, I want to thank you for coming on
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: my show. You're amazing. Now. I know in the end
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: here this part of the conversation, I'd love to bring
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you back on the show to get it more detailed
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: because at the first of the year, all right, I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: always always the first of you, always trying to give
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: people ways that they can start motivating and planning and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: seeing new opportunities. And that whole the airbnb experience is.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's something that's not being spoken of a
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: lot because it's all about home sharing. That's that's that's
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: who that's where you cut your teeth. The brain is
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: cut your teeth on that, but I know that from
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: through social media, through planning, that whole process is you're
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: talking about is the next way of great success with
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: airbnb and the fact that you can come in and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: market and take advantage of an audience out there and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: expand your brand. We need to talk more about that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Will you come back. I would love to come back.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: It's been enjoy talking to you and you've been fantastic
• 21:32
