The Rich Somers Report
He Used to Work for Airbnb, Now He’s Developing Boutique Hotels ⎮ Mike Demson E395
From corporate cubicle to boutique hotel developer—this is how you flip the script.
In this episode, Rich sits down with Mike Demson, a former Airbnb employee who walked away from the W-2 grind to build a portfolio of boutique hotels. From spotting undervalued properties to designing experiences travelers actually crave, Mike breaks down how he’s turning his insider knowledge of Airbnb into long-term wealth in hospitality.
They cover:
- Why Mike left Airbnb to go all-in on boutique hotels
- The one thing travelers want most (and most investors miss)
- How to finance, reposition, and scale boutique stays
- Why creating community is more profitable than chasing comps
- Where the next wave of unique stays is happening right now
If you’ve ever dreamed of trading short-term rentals for something bigger, this is your roadmap.
