Jill DeWit: Hello.
Jack Butala: Welcome to our show today. In this episode Jill, and I talk about finishing what ya start with Land Academy. We're not one of those people, or those companies that make you pay us to finish what you start. (laughs)
Jill DeWit: (laughs)
Jack Butala: Great show today, Jill. Before we get started let's share something interesting that happened to us recently.
Jill DeWit: You know what's funny? I wanted to share what we were picking up on recently as we were riding our bikes on the strand. It's so funny, and it's so easy to get caught up a little bit in a Driving for Dollars scenario. Boy that's loud coffee there, Jack. (laughs)
Jack Butala: (laughs)
Jill DeWit: Golly. What the ...
Jack Butala: [crosstalk 00:00:41] Hey, listen ...
Jill DeWit: You know what would be really funny? It'd be funny if I would've said, "Close the bathroom door." (laughs)
Jack Butala: (laughs)
Jill DeWit: [crosstalk 00:00:49] What it sounds like.
Jack Butala: Jill, you're on your own. I'll be back in 15 minutes.
Jill DeWit: Exactly. (laughs) [crosstalk 00:00:53]
Jack Butala: (laughs) Want to know a secret? Listen. We film ... We record all the shows for the week at once, so it's still early in the morning ...
Jill DeWit: It is.
Jack Butala: ... Early in the week. Even though it's Tuesday this show will air on Tuesday. Anyway go ahead. I am going to pour some more [coffee 00:01:08].
Jill DeWit: It's okay.
Jack Butala: You want some?
Jill DeWit: No, I'm good. (laughs) I'll wait for the break to do mine. (laughs)
Jack Butala: (laughs)
Jill DeWit: Don't let us stop you. Don't let us keep you, Jack.
Jack Butala: This is just like ...
Jill DeWit: This is just a show right now.
Jack Butala: This is exactly what happens in the company. It's like, "Yeah, it's fine. He's the owner."
Jill DeWit: Exactly. (laughs)
Jack Butala: "Yeah, he's weird."
Jill DeWit: He's going to do that.
Jack Butala: "I know. What's he going to do next?"
Jill DeWit: "We're in the middle of a meeting, he just walked away. What is that?" [crosstalk 00:01:31] "Don't worry. He'll come back. He got it."
Jack Butala: If I did that I'd get fired probably.
Jill DeWit: That's right. (laughs)
Jack Butala: (laughs)
Jill DeWit: That's exactly correct. "Don't worry about it. He'll be back, and he'll read the memo later, so he'll know what we talked about." What was funny was that I noticed that it's so easy, and I know most people in listening now are in our little real estate world, I'm guessing. Or you have some interest in real estate, so you do this too.
Jack Butala: Or you have really low standards in what you listen to.
Jill DeWit: Yeah. Or you really have a lot of spare time on your hands, and ...
Jack Butala: (laughs)
Jill DeWit: ... You have nothing, nothing else. You got tired of watching the grass grow, so ... (laughs)
Jack Butala: (laughs)
Jill DeWit: ... Here you are. It's easy to ... We were on our bikes doing it. You drive around, you go, "Look at that. It's boarded up," or, "God, look at all ...
Jack Butala: I can't help it.
Jill DeWit: ... These homes on this block." They've all been redone, but that one."
Jack Butala: Or like a zoning change.
Jill DeWit: "Oh, what would you do on that one?"
Jack Butala: My favorite is like a zoning change or a notice. It's like a ... "I missed that deal. I didn't get there first."
Jill DeWit: Yeah. We were just noticing ... Here we are just riding our bikes on the strand in southern California,
