Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has bucked the trend of early morning routines and excessive corporate practices, opting to eliminate emails and ban meetings before 10 a.m., according to Fortune. Chesky's approach contrasts with the "grindset" culture that emphasizes early wake-ups and strict adherence to traditional corporate structures.
Chesky, the head of the $74 billion short-term rental company, told The Wall Street Journal last year that he doesn't apologize for how he wants to run his company. He found emailing to be the most hated part of his job before the pandemic. While much of the corporate world has returned to pre-pandemic practices, Chesky has maintained his email ban.
