The Mike Litton Experience


From Rock Bottom to Real Estate Powerhouse | Quentin West’s Journey to Airbnb Success

April 12, 2025

In this unforgettable episode of The Mike Litton Experience, we sit down with Airbnb mogul and entrepreneur Quentin West — a man whose story reads like a Hollywood script. From growing up on a farm in Winston-Salem with his twin-uncle rivalry to retiring at 24 — and then losing it all — Quentin’s comeback tale is an epic blueprint of resilience, purpose, and strategy.


Quentin shares how hitting rock bottom with over $67,000 in rent due and $150,000 in debt became the catalyst for redefining his approach to business. He walks us through the launch of his educational platform Shortcut to Superhost, the data-driven secrets behind Airbnb optimization, and how mentorship saved him millions.


Whether you’re looking to build your short-term rental empire, get more out of your listings, or find inspiration in the face of failure, this is the story that proves: success isn’t about luck — it’s about learning, adjusting, and giving back.
