The Power of Local Capital with Marsh Collective

Available exclusively to Main Street Summit All-In and Capital Camp Pass holders.

What to Expect: 

For over 25 years, John and Ash Marsh have been committed to roughly 10 square blocks in Opelika, Alabama. Through Marsh Collective, they've built a portfolio of real estate, development, and operating businesses that prove you can do good and do well, strengthening people and places while building meaningful, durable returns.

This Field Trip is a chance to learn directly from John, Ash, and their team about what it actually means to commit long-term to a place, and the compounding impact of consistent hospitality.

Join us for two days with the Marsh Collective team in Opelika, Alabama if you're curious about:

• The power of local capital in real estate and development

• Working at the intersection of purpose and profit

• Long-term commitment to place

• Stewardship, patience, and operational realities

• The compounding impact of consistency
  
  

Plan for the trip: 

This experience is designed for 12 attendees. It's intimate, practical, and honest, less theory, more lived experience, with plenty of space for Q&A and dialogue. You'll learn while walking the story, moving through multiple venues as part of the discussion.

*This field trip is $500 for an "all-inclusive" experience of the Marsh's hospitality including fantastic lodging and meals over the 2 days.
