I’m in the H2H Business with Chip Conley My guest this week, Chip Conley, is an extraordinary human. He was Founder and CEO of the highly successful boutique hotel company Joi de Vivre (now owned by Hyatt.) It took a near death experience to made him stand back, look at his life and sell the company. 

Then a smart young fellah called Brian, founder of a teeny, weeny startup called AirBnB, hired Chip as his strategic Lead and Mentor. Together, they grew AirBnB to be the most valuable hospitality company in the world.

This is a story of three chapters : 

• The transformational power of authenticity 
• A powerful collision between high tech and high-touch wisdom and the all-too-often untapped potential of diversity of age, thought and experience
• The incalculable potency of connected communities 

Forget B2B or B2C. We are ALL in the H2H business. Chip’s warm wisdom can help us all be better leaders. My favourite takeaway : “Emotions are contagious, The higher up you are the more contagious they are.”
