As of July 30th, Airbnb has closed its domestic business in China, so you can no longer use Airbnb to book your summer vacation or other travel in China. Host Christian Clement-Schlimm and I are using this story as a jump-off point for today’s episode of the Jenoir podcast. We reflect on how perseverance during tough times is an important and even essential quality; but so is the ability to call it quits when “the writing is on the wall.” We are asking: Are you able to make the hard call? And, how do you know when it must be made? As always, let us know your thoughts and experience.
