Jean Lievens: Airbnb CEO on Sharing Economy – Starting with Education as a Global Traveling Experience
03 Economy, 04 Education, 11 Society, Advanced Cyber/IO, Commercial Intelligence, Cultural IntelligenceAirbnb does business in 34,000 cities, has a valuation of over 10 billion dollars, and in a very short time has disrupted the world of hospitality and travel. Its co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky envisions the future city as a place where sharing is front and center — where people become micro-entrepreneurs, the local mom and pops will flourish once again, where space isn't wasted, but shared, and more of almost everything is produced, except waste.

Offers major insights into education as well as business — structures that focus on “managing” large groups of people, especially children, are not focusing on their core mission — creating value or teaching. A society's “constraints” and blinders begin embedding at the age of two — that is the starting point for creating a Smart Nation of free spirits instead of sheep.
