Former First Lady Michelle Obama marveled at the prospect of becoming a single woman, and she caught the podcast's eyebrows when she had the opportunity to stay with Airbnb's co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky.
Chesky opened his own home as Airbnb, writing: “From today on Airbnb (yes, this is my actual home, I'll be there when guests are here).” He noted in the following thread that his house has facilities such as freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, friendly golden retriever and freshly brewed coffee. He also noted: “We will work out and train together until muscle failure (after we have eaten a lot of cookies).
Chesky noted that the product is very popular, saying: “I have some weekends in January, February and March, but they booked them even before I even posted this release. I will continue to open more weekends throughout the year.”

The former first lady hosted Chesky on her “IMO” podcast and pointed out to her brother and co-host Craig Robinson that she and former President Barack Obama regarded the CEO as close friends, “If I had a son, I would like my son to be Brian.”
Michelle Obama expressed her excitement when she greeted Chesky in the episode Wednesday.
“I don’t usually talk to you in interview format, so let’s pretend like we’re having supper with me at dinner, poke you and get you excited,” she said.
The conversation introduces Chesky to host the guests’ daily activities, and he explains how he prepares dinner for them on his first night of stay. When he mentions the cookies he touts, Mrs. Obama asks why she hasn't. Chesky replied that she needed to stay on his Airbnb to try them out.
Airbnb CEO continues to point out that his guests have been outstanding so far, but points out that one person has tried his best to have a chance to be with him.

“We never talked about this,” the former first lady said.
“He's just here!” Robinson replied.
“She and her husband tried to get me established before,” Chesky noted.
Mrs. Obama agreed: “I am very devoted to Brian’s love life.”
When Robinson asked Barack Obama about his efforts to provide a matchmaking meeting for Chesky, the CEO was somewhat so. He said it is “to be seen” whether the former president is good at making love connections.
However, Chesky claimed that Barack Obama was “absolutely very invested and he actually gave me a lot of relationship advice.”
