This\xa0is the first in a 5-part\xa0series.\nIn late 2019 I released a book about Airbnb\u2019s meteoric rise. It was titled\xa0The Airbnb Way -\xa05 Leadership Lessons for Igniting Growth through Loyalty, Community, and Belonging.\nAs you can imagine, the timing of\xa0The Airbnb Way\xa0wasn\u2019t optimal, as Airbnb faced its share of challenges with dramatic decreases in travel in the early phases of the pandemic. That said, I believe my work with Airbnb leaders provides important and enduring value across the five areas featured in the book. Namely:\nBelonging\nTrust\nHospitality\nEmpowerment\nCommunity\nEach episode in this series will focus on one of those themes. Let\u2019s start with belonging.
