Airbnb is better than the Olympics.
This post brought to you by the Airbnb Coalition to Hire Cool People Who Can Do Cool Things Well (ACTHCPWCDCTW)
Have you ever had the talent and drive to potentially compete at the Olympics? I did. So why, before my prime, did I retire last summer to join Airbnb? Frankly put, I think Airbnb is better than the Olympics. Its the most amazing thing, experience, movement, idea, and team I've ever been a part of.
You must think I'm crazy. Most people did. Most people haven't experienced Airbnb like I have.
My name is Christopher Lukezic and I'm part of the Airbnb Team.
At Airbnb, we don't get down, we get up. Catch some Air!
When was the last time you were in awe of those you work with? I am daily. The diversity of talent within the walls of this place boggles my mind. Now that I'm here, I realize that we could probably be doing anything, in so much as we were doing it together. Whatever we were doing, we would not only succeed, but likely revolutionize an industry. A bold statement for sure, but one that pretty much sums up the depth of belief I have invested in those around me. Building something with a inspiring team has been infinitely more rewarding than the solitary pursuit for a gold medal.
Here are some companies we admire, Zappo's, Apple, Weiden + Kennedy, and 37 Signals. We want to be like them, but better.
If you ever stop by our digs, you'll usually find me sitting in one of these, working on one of these, and sipping this. If I'm not, I'm probably in the corner napping on this.
*We've outgrown the apartment, but don't worry, we've commissioned renowned architecture firm O+A to build us the perfect home! Coming soon...
