Transcript:
Jack Butala:
Steve and Jill here.
Jill DeWit:
Hi.
Jack Butala:
Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment Talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit:
And Jill Dewitt, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.
Jack Butala:
Today, Jill and I talk about solving partnership disagreements. Well, it only happens once a year.
Jill DeWit:
Yes, exactly.
Jack Butala:
It needs to be-
Jill DeWit:
As co-CEOs, we have this licked.
Jack Butala:
And we feel qualified to talk to you about the very, very infrequent disagreements you're going to have with your partner, especially if she's your spouse.
Jill DeWit:
Thanks. So here, my first thought was, what if we put that on a business card? I wonder who would catch it, like co-CEO. Number two, then I thought are we going to have business cards anymore?
Jack Butala:
No. No on the business cards, and I have heard of co-CEOs.
Jill DeWit:
Wait a minute. Last time I checked, you can't catch anything... Well, you can catch stuff, but you can't catch the COVID from handing things over.
Jack Butala:
What's silly about business cards, really quickly, is that in this day and age, everything changes all the time.
Jill DeWit:
Right.
Jack Butala:
There's... How many phone numbers do we have now, especially if you're sending a lot of mail campaigns at different States and stuff. How many email addresses do we have? Nothing's worse than getting a business card and a cell all scratched out on it. Here's my real phone number. Here's my real last name. My last name changed.
Jill DeWit:
I want to do that. That, I want to do. Next time I put a... I'm going to do that. I'm going to cross off... I'm going to put all kinds of changes, new number, then hand that to somebody. Put co-CEO. You think I'm kidding?
Jack Butala:
Yeah, and change the name of the company.
Jill DeWit:
Here's... Oh, hang on a minute. Oh, wait, hang on a minute. Oh, that would be so funny.
Jack Butala:
Here's the thing. You could look at it and say-
Jill DeWit:
I want to do that just to be funny.
Jack Butala:
The name of company's changed. My email address has changed. My physical address has changed. My last name's changed. I'm not married anymore.
Jill DeWit:
My phone number changed.
Jack Butala:
Yep. Turn the card over. Oh, and my slogan's different, and I'm in the different business.
Jill DeWit:
That's what I'm going to do. You think I'm kidding? I'm going to totally do that. I think that's hilarious. Can you imagine? I just want to see the look on someone's face. When I say "Here's my card," and I hand them it, and it's all scratched. It's a home for free, written with a...
Jack Butala:
What's on there? Like the new... This shouldn't be a business card.
Jill DeWit:
I;d be like, "Well, let me redraw the new logo I'm thinking about."
Jack Butala:
When I talk to anybody, whenever we start, it's just... When we run into people and there's, what do you do? What do you do? And when you get through it and its like, that's awesome. What do I do? I say, go to landacademy.com. No one ever says, "What? How do you spell that? What is it?"
Jill DeWit:
That's true.
Jack Butala:
No one. How many times have you said, "Well, what's your name?" "Steven Butala" "What? Kukala? Deendida?" No, just go to Land Academy. It's all there. My entire life has been like that.
You know what frustrates me? I'm going to use this time to vent for a second.
Jill DeWit:
I'm sorry.
Jack Butala:
The next time you... I'm going to make this about partnerships.
Jill DeWit:
Okay.
Jack Butala:
The next time you walk into your partner's office-
Jill DeWit:
This is good. You're making me cry a little bit.
Jack Butala:
You walk into your partner's office, whatever that means to you, and they're on the phone.
Jill DeWit:
Aka, the back bedroom.
Jack Butala:
They're on the phone. I want you to listen to the conversation, and I want you to specifically listen to-
