Half a year's gone by since our last Net Impact Conference, but we keep coming back to the inspiration of Chip Conley's keynote on the role curiosity has played in his life.

Currently the Head of Global Hospitality at Airbnb, Conley founded the Joie de Vivre boutique hotel group when he was 26 years old and ran the company as its CEO for nearly 24 years.

In this video, Conley talks about how he integrates psychology and business to foster happiness with his employees, what happened when his calling started feeling like a mere job, and why he believes cultural curiosity will save the world. (Oh, and why he wants us all to experience “collective effervescence.”)
