Transcript:
Steven Butala:
Steve and Jill here.
Jill DeWit:
Hello.
Steven Butala:
Welcome to The Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill DeWit:
And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from sunny Southern California.
Steven Butala:
Today, Jill and I talk about the Value of our Thursday Deal Review Webinar.
Jill DeWit:
Webinars.
Steven Butala:
We just did some math, Jill and I, before the episode, and we calculated that between 2016 and 2020, once a week, we do between an hour and a half, usually two to sometimes four hours of webinars with our members. And the vast majority of it is taken up by us playing out the scenario called would you do this deal? And so there's just 500 hours of this in there.
Jill DeWit:
You're explaining the whole show. Should we [crosstalk 00:00:53] show?
Steven Butala:
Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill DeWit:
Tom wrote, "We'd like to find the right accountability group with a good fit on pace and goals. I have preconceived ideas of my strengths and weaknesses,-
Steven Butala:
So do I, Tom.
Jill DeWit:
- but I may find out differently in practice. Excited to get going." Isn't that true? You don't know until you get in there. You don't know about any of those till you get in there. You're like, "Oh, I'd think I love to do this. No, I hate to do this" or, "Yeah, I'm good at paperwork. Oh my God, I suck at deeds."
Steven Butala:
I'm great at being single, not so much at being married.
Jill DeWit:
Anyway...
Steven Butala:
I have some preconceived ideas of my strengths and weaknesses, too.
Jill DeWit:
I'm good at practicing getting pregnant. I suck at being a mom. Just kidding.
Steven Butala:
Oh, my God, Jill.
Jill DeWit:
I'm just kidding.
Steven Butala:
Where does that come from?
Jill DeWit:
Not me. [inaudible 00:01:46]. You were giving some wild-
Steven Butala:
The perceived ideas about yourself.
Jill DeWit:
Oh, sorry.
Steven Butala:
Not in judgment of other people. Wow, that took a right turn.
Jill DeWit:
No, I [inaudible 00:01:59]. All right, everybody erase that. Okay. Yeah, there's no do-over button here, is there?
Steven Butala:
We're not going to edit that out, no.
Jill DeWit:
I know that. I'm well aware of that. You know what the last time you edited something for me, it's probably been over a year.
Steven Butala:
Yep, it's true.
Jill DeWit:
I was probably crying. There was probably something that made me cry. I was having a really bad day.
Steven Butala:
I have to say... And I'll tell you, you're right, edited out... probably a year.
Jill DeWit:
Yeah. Definitely a year.
Steven Butala:
But we have had to start and stop over several-
Jill DeWit:
You know what it probably was... truth time. I'm sure you and I were getting into it. I think the last time I said, "Oh, we got to do this over," because you and I were getting in to it about something, [crosstalk 00:02:44]. Nobody's going to want to hear this, including me.
Steven Butala:
I listened to a podcast once... I think it was with you... about two people trying to have a podcast together, and they were married [crosstalk 00:02:54] and probably not married anymore actually.
Jill DeWit:
They were getting into it. Yeah, I have to-
Steven Butala:
I have to say that was a lot of fun to listen to.
Jill DeWit:
Yeah. So next time I promise we won't cut it. We'll just let it roll. So if we get into it, you decide... If you think we're getting into it, you're the judge.
Steven Butala:
It's always fun to watch or listen to other people failing at stuff. So it makes you just feel better about yourself. That's what the whole premise of reality TV is I know I'm I got some weird things going on with me, but I'm not as bad as that guy.
Jill DeWit:
That's very true. Like those hoarder shows... I'm like, "It will never be me."
