IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
Be a Different Kind of Leader with Brian Chesky

And I thought to myself- I don't think it's a good sign, but maybe a little bit much. But he turned out to be an amazing person. Like concert tickets, right? Yeah, like reload, reload. And I'm like, these chips are not worth it. I got to be honest with you. They're pretty average bacon. That's great.

Yeah, I'll tell the story. I'm from upstate New York. My parents are social workers. My mom once told me growing up, like, I chose a job for the love and I paid no money. So you should make sure that you get a job that pays you a lot of money. And one day I said, mom, I want to be an artist. And she said, oh my God, you picked the only job that's going to pay you less than a social worker.

And it was a wonderful place. I love RISD. I love Providence. It was such an amazing place because I always grew up thinking like you had to sit in class, sit still, like follow the rules. Mm-hmm. And then at RISD, they said, you're a designer. Everything around you was designed by someone else. You can design the world you want to live in. It made us very idealistic.

I graduate RISD and I'm living actually here in Los Angeles. And my friend from RISD, Joe, tells me one day, Brian, come to San Francisco. Let's start a company. I'm 25 years old. And my life is like I'm in a car and the road in front of me looks like the road behind me. That's the rest of my life if I stay on this track. And so I quit my job.
