Meet the Nesters

from The Valley Today Hosted by Janet Michael

A woodworker six and a half years sober and a real estate broker whose "hobby got out of hand" — these are the makers filling the shelves at The Nest in Mount Jackson. On this Valley Business Today segment, Janet Michael hands the mic to two of The Nest's founding Nesters: Ryan Peters of Home Revival and Decor, and Mike Cain of Poppy's Dust. They talk candidly about how they landed in retail, what actually goes into a custom cutting board or a hand-built lamp, and the unlikely friendship that grew out of a shared cohort program. If you caught yesterday's Tourism Tuesday segment, you already know the backstory of The Nest — this half is about the people making it work.
