Ben Nelson grew up in Southwestern Colorado and attended the University of Colorado. Ben is a former action sports producer turned real estate investor and managing partner at Wild Oak Capital, with over $100M in assets under management and 1,000+ doors acquired. His background in building teams to pull off world-record stunts uniquely shapes how he leads large-scale real estate projects today — with a focus on people, precision, and aligned vision. Ben works with adventurous entrepreneurs, creatives, and business misfits to build passive income that supports their freedom, families, and passions — not just their portfolios. His approach is deeply relational, community-driven, and unapologetically human in a space often dominated by spreadsheets and sales decks. He’s co-hosted The Real Estate Mindset Podcast, guested on industry-leading shows like Hunter Thompson’s, and built a growing tribe of aligned investors who want to grow wealth and live well.
