In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of conversing with Nelson Marsh from the Marsh Collective, a company specializing in revitalizing historic properties in Opelika, Alabama. Nelson expressed his passion for restoring old buildings and detailed how his family’s commitment to the town sparked a remarkable transformation in the local real estate landscape.
Nelson Marsh and the Marsh Collective have successfully restored over 300 historic properties in Opelika, Alabama, breathing new life into the town. Their unique real estate development approach centers on “irreplaceable real estate” and the belief that every building, regardless of its condition, possesses inherent value. Through property restoration, they not only generate profit but also cultivate community and hospitality.
A compelling anecdote Nelson shared involved a resource-limited young entrepreneur aspiring to start a coffee shop. The Marsh Collective took a chance, providing a small space and guidance. This coffee shop has since evolved into a thriving business, significantly enhancing the town’s appeal.
Nelson’s philosophy underscores the significance of making an impact and investing with love and care. He urges listeners to become “somewhere people,” deeply invested in their communities and actively shaping them.

About Nelson Marsh:
After earning his arts degree, Nelson returned to Opelika and ran for city council at 22. Despite an unsuccessful campaign, it provided him a platform to explore small-town dynamics deeply, igniting a passion for city codes and ordinances.
Post-election, Nelson launched Ampersand, Opelika’s inaugural wine bar. Within a year, the wine selection expanded from five to fifty, reaching two hundred by the second year. At its peak, Nelson’s list featured five hundred wines by the glass. To achieve this, he devised a hyper-lean system for glass sales, reducing waste by two-thirds compared to the industry average. Transitioning from the fine wines sector, Nelson now focuses on client work and development. He imparts his system to hospitality clients and serves as our primary instructor for team leadership and academic matters.
