Josh Guest scaled his Airbnb business from zero to a six-figure sale, by the age of 27.

In this episode, he breaks down the real story behind the sale: how he found the buyer, the financials that made it attractive, and what he’d do differently next time.

You'll learn:
- What makes a serviced accommodation business sellable
- How to prepare for exit while still growing
- What most people get wrong when trying to scale Airbnb

If you're running or planning to start a serviced accommodation business, this conversation is packed with first-hand insights, lessons, and a behind-the-scenes look at how to build with the end in mind.
