Transcript:



Steven Jack Butala:

I'm Steven Jack Butala.



Jill K DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWit and this is the Land Academy show.



Steven Jack Butala:

This is episode number 2000, I can't believe it. We are calling it Acre by Acre, 2000 Episodes of Land Flipping. Jill and I will be covering the high and low points of the last 10 years serving the land community I guess, moments we remember, big land wins, and amazing members, and then ultimately Jill is going to cover at the end, the future of Land Academy.



Jill K DeWit:

What do you mean low points? Hold on a moment. What are talking about, low points?



Steven Jack Butala:

I can summarize this whole thing like this. This is not anything what Jill and I anticipated.



Jill K DeWit:

No.



Steven Jack Butala:

It's been like a windy, curvy, switchback-y road.



Jill K DeWit:

Oh, no. For me it's been all peaches and cream, skipping through a field of dandelions. That's how this has been, so no. I mean, but seriously, this has been an amazing ride. I'm going to start right now because I peeked ahead on the script here and I know it's not in there, but I got to just remind everyone here, I'm not even supposed to be on this show.



Steven Jack Butala:

Oh, my gosh.



Jill K DeWit:

I was never intended to be ... It was the Land Academy Show, but it was never the Jack and Jill show. It was always Jack and the Land Academy show. And so day one, or not even day one, as we're pre-episode zero, episode negative two, negative three, as we're figuring this out and testing this and having guests, some of which showed up and some of which didn't show up, some of the shows that you recorded we could air and some of them we couldn't air. It's funny. We had one guy in particular, we can't cut that much of this up. This is G-rated. It's just not going to work. So back in the beginning I was just a fill-in guest.



Steven Jack Butala:

When people didn't show up, Jill would sit in and the numbers on the shows where she sat in were two and three times what the regular numbers and downloads were.



Jill K DeWit:

So that means three people.



Steven Jack Butala:

So yeah, [inaudible 00:02:11] it's five instead of three, both of our parents included.



Jill K DeWit:

Yeah.



Steven Jack Butala:

We're going to cover some of the high and low points all the way through this, but Land Academy doesn't look anything like what we intended when we started it. And the real reason why is, and we will cover it in a few minutes, is we were constantly and are constantly listening to what our members want and not the changes that they want, and how we can better serve the land community is what this has been. And it ended up being through different products that we've released, which we'll talk about in a few minutes here.



Jill K DeWit:

I still think it's funny. You go back and dig if you really want to, you could find it on our YouTube channel and on our website, some of the old original ones. You would just call me at my desk and we'd talk for 45 minutes about the I'm doing.



Steven Jack Butala:

They're all on there.



Jill K DeWit:

Yeah.
