Interview with Seth Williams of RETipster (LA 1099)
Transcript:
Jill DeWit: This is good.
Steven Butala: All right, we're rolling. Seth, welcome to California.
Seth Williams: Thanks for having me.
Steven Butala: I understand you were here for some type of video ... What was it called?
Seth Williams: Yeah, it's VidSummit. So just checking it out, seeing some famous YouTubers that we've been following for a while and just seeing what we can learn about video.
Steven Butala: We were talking before the show and you said you're not going to come next year for sure.
Seth Williams: That is exactly what I said. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. So I don't know. It's kind of hard to decide which things to dedicate your time to each year, but yeah, I don't know. We'll see.
Steven Butala: Did you learn anything?
Seth Williams: Yeah, I did. I learned a lot about authenticity on camera and how to be genuinely helpful and just good insight ... Stuff I think I sort of knew intuitively, but it was just good to get reminders about a lot of it.
Jill DeWit: Exactly.
Steven Butala: So we're probably doing everything wrong right now.
Seth Williams: No, I think you're doing good. Looks good to me.
Jill DeWit: That's funny.
Steven Butala: Jill and I, I think we talked about this a little bit before the show. Whenever we go to these conferences, these professional conferences, I either walk away saying "I'm never going to go to this again. It's totally below me," or, "Man I can't wait to go next year because I didn't have any idea that this is what is possible." The last conference that I went to where I'm like, "Man, I'm going to go to this next year," was a tax lien foreclosure conference in Las Vegas, and then he stopped doing it. He retired, the guy that was holding it. But I was like, "I can't wait to get out of here and go actually implement this," which we did. I did. This is before I met you or before you were involved. And now we're still doing it. We're still implementing tax lien foreclosures.
Jill DeWit: Exactly.
Steven Butala: The diametric opposite is that podcast thing.
Jill DeWit: Oh my gosh.
Steven Butala: What's it called?
Jill DeWit: Podcast Movement. We went to that one in Anaheim a couple of years ago. Not to bag on these things, but we just found out like you just found out how much we already know. It's really interesting. It's cool.
Steven Butala: So how long are you here, and is this the first time in California for you?
Seth Williams: No. Well, I've been to the LA Airport before when going to Hawaii, but-
Jill DeWit: Nice-
Seth Williams: This is my first time actually walking outside of the terminal and seeing the city. So we were here for about two and a half days and really the most that I saw was the Griffith Observatory-
Jill DeWit: That's cool-
Seth Williams: And the Hollywood sign-
Jill DeWit: That's pretty good.
Seth Williams: It's cool, it was really cool. We went to the Santa Monica Pier-
Steven Butala: Great, the end of Route 66.
Seth Williams: Is that what that is?
Steven Butala: Yeah.
Seth Williams: I didn't realize that.
Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Seth Williams: Yeah, so it was cool. I wish we could have spent more time here but that's what we're able to fit in.
