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 1,936. And today we are talking in depth, actually, about how and why we became the leaders in the land space and held that position from 2015 to 2023. That's topic number one. And then later in the show we'll talk about bonding with sellers. Jill here is going to talk about bonding with sellers. On the phone from the actual initial first inbound phone call, so incredibly important. And honestly doesn't get talked about enough.



Jill K DeWit:

You know what's funny about this, is that people think that this bonding needs to take, I've heard anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. You don't need to do that. You do not, I'm here to tell you. If you have the time, good for you, if you want to talk for an hour. But you don't need to do that long. I don't have the time.



Steven Jack Butala:

Jill and I bonded the first time we met in about 13 seconds. And I think that's average for her.



Jill K DeWit:

That's great. You know what? You were pretty quick. I won you over pretty fast.



Steven Jack Butala:

Jill can bond with a checkout clerk over any topic-



Jill K DeWit:

Oh yeah.



Steven Jack Butala:

... in about 13 seconds.



Jill K DeWit:

Oh, this is so true. We walk out of the store and he'll go, what took so long? Or not even what took so long? We're getting in the car and I'm like, did you know A, B, C and D as we're rolling through a town? And he's like, "How did you find that out?" I'm like, "I just asked the girl in line. She told me all about where we're we should go for dinner tonight, what sites we have to see, and where the best place is to get a snowmobile."



Steven Jack Butala:

I'd much prefer to bond with the bottom of a scotch bottle myself.



Jill K DeWit:

Exactly. That's good. So we hope you are enjoying our new 2023 weekly show. This is the outline, so each week we answer questions from our Land Academy close member Discord forum, we review land acquisitions from our weekly Thursday member webinar and we take a deep dive into two land related topics by popular request.



Steven Jack Butala:

Let's take a question posted by one of our members on the Land Academy Discord online community. If you would like a sneak peek into our Discord channel, please go to landinvestors.com. It's in read only format for the public and it's free there.



Jill K DeWit:

All right, so Will wrote, thank you, Will, "Loving the new podcast format. I do have a question from the episode that came out yesterday. I posted it on YouTube, but I figured I'd duplicate here in case..." This is in Discord, of course, "...some of you had insight that you could share. So I'm trolling for areas, it's a trolling for areas question. This is a bit geeky and maybe it doesn't matter."



Steven Jack Butala:

That's why we're all geeks here.



Jill K DeWit:

Yeah, we are geeks. "As I'm sitting down on my computer opening up Zill...
