Episode 10: Breathing New Life into Small Towns with Jason Duff

Jason Duff is the Founder & CEO of Small Nation, a real estate and community development company headquartered in Bellefontaine, Ohio. Over the past 15+ years, Jason and his team have renovated and activated over 50 buildings into new uses including specialty boutiques, restaurants, coworking and office spaces, and residential loft apartments. Luke and Jason became friends in college, when both were just starting out in business, but before they started their respective downtown revitalization projects. However, along the way, they have shared a lot of ideas and best practices to help their respective communities thrive. Jason shares a lot of his story of why and how he took the leap into this venture, disappointments and lessons learned along the way, and his vision for continuing to use Bellefontaine as a testing ground for ideas to apply in other small towns, not only across Ohio, but also across the US.

If you are learning about entrepreneurship, real estate development, downtown revitalization, or community development, you will no doubt be inspired by this episode!
