A classic game about owning properties. A disruptive company facing it’s own disruption. These subjects might not seem related, but by playing one, we can learn to empower the other. Join us as we discuss why we have a love/hate relationship with Monopoly, and why the experience economy is currently up for grabs (and how to position yourself to own it)

Topics covered: The least/most expensive places in Swiss Monopoly, the downside of overemphasizing Black Hat extrinsic motivation, how creating a feeling of urgency improves strategy, why Monopoly is rated as one of the worst games ever, how to tweak the game to and improve user experience, the competitive advantage and current challenges of Airbnb, how NOT to take inspiration from games, the different ways people utilize Airbnb, the strategic addition of experiences to places to stay, the difficulty of making the experience economy virtual, the motivations that create memories, the limitations of skill-focused virtual events, how to prioritize community over economy, how to generate revenue from an intrinsically motivated business model, how to thrive with virtual experiences and prepare for the future when people will travel again.
