Has being a weightlift

you made you a better executive?

Absolutely.

Bodybuilding taught me that you build your life one repetition at a time,

that it's all about consistency,

that there's not one moment that you get into shape.

Leadership isn't something innate.

It's something we have to learn and practice.

I got to meet Brian Chesky, the CEO and one of the founders of Airbnb,

a whole bunch of years ago.

And unlike other leaders I've met, I had the chance to watch him grow as a leader.

What started as air mattresses in their living room, literally an air bed and breakfast,

to a company now worth $80 billion, Brian has navigated countless challenges, all with vision

and resilience.

Brian doesn't believe that Airbnb has reached its peak, and he doesn't think he's hit

his full potential as a leader either.

It's a powerful reminder that leadership is a continuous journey and not a final destination.

This is a bit of optimism.

I have seen who you've become in the world of leadership,

and I love listening to people,

tell me that they got information, direction,

inspiration from you.
