Make sure to always run your own numbers, make your own independent decisions and seek investment advice from licensed professionals. Mark: Hey, everybody, this is Mark Woodling with Roofstock. Thanks for joining The Remote Real Estate Investor podcast. Today we have Daniel David, who's in Lexington, Kentucky. He's one of our certified agents. And he's gonna give us some insights about what's happening in the market. So let's go ahead and get Daniel on. Welcome Daniel to the remote real estate investor. Daniel: Hey, Mark, thanks for having me on. It's a pleasure to be here. Mark: Awesome. So are you in Lexington today? Daniel: I am, you know, in the Lexington Kentucky area actually born in this area grew up here, graduating high school from here. But then I ended up joining the army back and 98. So shout out to any army vets that are you know, listening to the podcast. So spent three years in Heidelberg, Germany loved it, I if I could go back there, I would go back there. Immediately, I came back started started being a wedding DJ, believe it or not. So I'm used to talking on the mic used to talking in front of crowds and you know, engaging and making things a lot of fun. So hopefully, we'll be able to make some, some fun stuff here today. And then you know, of course, you know, doing weddings is not just a one day event. There's the planning sessions, you have the rehearsal, you've got the wedding, and then you've got to find time to go promote your business. Well, during this time, you know, my son happened to be in kindergarten. And he's like, Dad, can you come spend some time with me, you know, pick me up from school today. And I was like, I can't I have a meeting? And then he's like, well, that's okay. You can pick me up on Friday. I was like, No, I gotta go to rehearsal. And then Sunday, you know, was the bottle showed or promote, to generate more business? And he was like, you know, dad, when are you going to stay home and spend some time with me. And I was like, that was the dagger that if I could have quit that day, I knew I would have. So I knew some things needed to change. And that's what got me involved in real estate. So I ended up going with a large national brand, my first run out the gate with KW, Keller Williams, and my second month in the business, I actually listed 26 homes. A lot of people thought that, you know, look, you don't know what you're talking about, you don't know what you're doing. And then once I listed those 26 homes, those same people were like, okay, so maybe you do know what you're doing just a little bit. So end up getting into coaching, training, mentoring, and then have the opportunity to join the EXP where I coach training mentor, you know, we've got about 1000, our group across 38 states, four provinces in Canada, Mexico, and Portugal and Puerto Rico as well. And so we've got tools, models and systems and things like that. But I've always been a real estate investor. I'm an investor agent. So I love talking to numbers. And you know, talking about cap rates, and all that good stuff that most people just don't. Mark: That's awesome. I've heard a lot of really good things with EXP Realty, these days where they're bringing on more investors centric agents that really know how to talk numbers versus, you know, selling somebody owner occupied homes. So that's great that you've made your way over there. And I also hear you're a real estate coach. So maybe give us a little background on how you've been coaching, whether it's buyers? Or is it families, like tell us about you know, that experience? Daniel: Well, you know, it kind of covers a vast range. So if you're working with buyers, there's certain things that you're looking for that, you know, can save time of, you know, if you're looking at, it doesn't matter whether you're buying real estate to invest, or you're buying for your personal reasons, one of the best things you can do if you're not paying cash, make sure you have your financing in order first. This is going to save you so much time on the back end and also on the front end. Because when you are pre approved and you've got all your ducks in a row, it's just like you've got cash on hand. So when we find something we can move rather quickly. When you're looking to invest in real estate. You know, one of the best person investments that I can give advice is buy a duplex, especially if you know you're just starting now live You know, maybe you just graduated high school you're got, you know, roommates and things like that. It's amazing how much profit you can make. If you can buy a duplex, live in one side, and then run out the other, basically, when you're renting out the other, they're making your mortgage payment, then, you know, once you finish school, move out, take advantage of this IRS rule that the government has is the three five rule. So if it's been your primary residence for three of the last five years, you can actually claim that still like your personal residence, and not pay capital gains tax on that. So at the end of year three, look to sell that thing off, cash out, and now you've got a big nice cash portfolio to start going into future investments. Mark: Well, that's what's so interesting about today with you know, all the pandemic is that people are moving in are much more mobile. So they may be moving from California and in trying to find a market like Lexington, Kentucky, and in finding that the price point is just so affordable, where they can pick up these properties for, you know, nothing compared to what they're paying back home. So yeah, house hacking. That's, that's what they call that little strategy. But well, I would love to hear more about the coaching as we go through. Cuz, you know, the reason why I ask is do you coach more individuals or families to me that you end up as a life coach, because you know, there's two parties to any decision, you're gonna have to play mediator here and there. So, you know, we'd love to, Who is your typical client type, so maybe give us a little background there. Daniel: You know, I love working with investors, it's your typical agent does not understand how to work with investors. You know, they're more concerned about, you know, hey, look at the nice decor in the house. All Did you see that this has a garage, and investors like, okay, so tell me the cap rate? Does, what's the cash flow on this? What's the numbers look like? And so, you know, if the numbers make sense, then we can look at the house. And, you know, if it has nice aesthetics, that's a plus. But, you know, let's look at the numbers and look at the meat and potatoes, let's dive into. And so, you know, back in 2015, I actually started a real estate investors group on and we can find it on meetup.com. And no, that is not a hookup site, just so you know. So we've got currently over 500 members, 556 Last time I checked. And, you know, we talk about how to buy, sell, invest, and even, you know, the fix and flips, you know, Lexington is a perfect market, if you're looking to buy and hold not so much on the fix and flips because everybody's looking to fix and flip. And those are few and far between. and it's like sharks circling. And they just all pounce, and they end up driving up the profit to where there's no like, meat on the bone at the end of the day. So I, you know, buy and hold is like the best strategy that I found that works really well because Lexan has some great numbers for rents compared to prices. And you know, you mentioned like, back home or outwest, where you know, 300,000 won't even buy at the front door, you know, here in Kentucky 300,000 will get you a pretty nice place with with a good cash return on investment. Mark: Now, that's that's great Intel and exactly what we want to dig deeper into. So let's go into Lexington. And let's actually give people a little tour that may not be so familiar with it. So what I know is that it's the second most populated city in Kentucky. I think that's always a big thing that most people don't recognize. It's the horse capital of the world. So I think that that's a pretty big deal. Maybe known for a little bourbon and some other activities, you know that around fine tastings and, you know, good things like that. And then of course, University of Kentucky, Wildcats, though, maybe why don't you give us a little tour of the city and go through anything that people may know or may not know and, you know, give us your perspective on it. Daniel: Okay, so Lexington is, believe it or not one of you know, it's growing we're, we'd like to be a little conservative on growth as compared to some of the other cities. It's, it's definitely like an old money town. So you've got horse racing for those horse enthusiasts. You mentioned the bourbon. Some of the best bourbon in the world is produced right here in our backyard. So we've got a whole bourbon distillery trail the trail you know, if you're ever in Kentucky, I recommend you go check out the bourbon trail. We do have the University of Kentucky and that is what kind of anchors Lexington and then that's also followed by the medical industry we have some of the top medical physicians and things like that in in the world are right here in Kentucky. And that's that's not a well known fact, you know, one of the cardiology departments and things like that we, we strive for success there. We've also got, you know, for those that like, some companies that you may have heard of, we've got Amazon, we've got Lexmark is anchored right here. And then if you've ever eaten, Zoe's, Zoe's was founded right here in Lexington, Kentucky. So awesome, great companies with opportunities and growth for, you know, future investments and things like that. Mark: So what I've been reading about, is that just the low overall cost of doing business out there. So it's very attractive, I think it's a competitive tax environment for companies to move to. So what are some of the companies you'd say that are making a splash right now? Are there any technology companies or companies that are maybe building the next great facility that they're looking to move to out in the Lexington area? Daniel: There's plenty of opportunity for those companies that want to take advantage of those industries, Metro nets, kind of installed their fiber optic network throughout the area. So now we did a true gigabit up and down, that opened up a time of opportunity. And we've had some companies that are taking advantage of those opportunities. And then other companies that are kind of like, Well, you know, I'm not sure about this whole fiber optics thing. So there's great opportunity to hop in on the technology side. Lexmark a, you know, they are pretty some of the best printers in the world. They are, you know, anchor here, so they're taking advantage of some of those opportunities. And then, you know, you've got a lot of law firms here in Kentucky, you also have a lot of medical opportunities. So if you're in the legal or medical industry, Kentucky's, especially in Lexington, Kentucky is a great spot, we are considered a retirement town. It's a so if you're looking to retire. And I think money magazine has had us and consistently in the top 20 since like 2005, which is just insane. So we have some great nightlife, and then, you know, some, some great little off the beat restaurants. So we want to get away from those chain restaurants. We have some great local eateries here that would, you know, rival some of the great cuisines are probably used to experiencing. Mark: That's awesome. Well, let's I want to dive a little bit further into the quality of life in a second, but you touched on it for a second they gigabit city. That's a big deal. Or gigabyte, oh, no, which when you pronounce it, but that's a big deal. There's only a handful of cities around the country that have the entire city infrastructure set up to have a gigabyte download speeds. So yeah, so MetroNet, is the name of the company and are is their headquarters in the area as well? Or is that just their presence? Daniel: They have some some of the companies and then because they've already set up that infrastructure here in Lexington, they're expanding to the surrounding cities and bringing that in as well. So that is a huge benefit, especially if you're looking to invest because I know, tenants are looking for, like the high speed internet to be able to stream and do things like that. So it used to be that we just had spectrum cable. And that was it. That was like the fastest internet that you could find, which you know, drove prices up. And, uh, you know, now that MetroNet has come in, it's been a game changer. And so a lot of those companies that had that, you know, kind of Monopoly have had to really rethink what they're doing because so many customers now have choices. Now, you know, it used to be that everybody had a landline phone, and everyone has a cell phone, so there's no need for a landline phone anymore. So your older population, they're still used to having that landline, your younger population. It's like nope, I'm completely mobile. I don't want to be tied to one spot which makes you know investing in elections and a great opportunity. Mark: Sure, into between all the colleges around town you have this you know, gigabyte city or gigabit. And what I've been reading about is the the millennial population that's really attracted to the area A. I think it's because it's post college, but also if you have the technology and you have This future thought on how to keep some of the the youth their income the restaurants, because these are the people with the disposable income. So what do you see in terms of like the city makeup, I heard a little bit about being a great place with for retirees, but when you see, are dealing with even local buyers, who is the buyer that you're working more closely with, or who's the renter, that you may be working with looking to rent a property? Daniel: Well, usually when you first come out of college, you've got that massive student loan debt. And so mortgage companies take that into consideration. Now, they are policed here locally, if you're in a certain field, they will forgive your student loans and not count that into your loan, which is a great benefit. For buyers, and I, you know, sellers have that opportunity as well, for your renters that, you know, whatever up whatever reason, you can't get qualified. Lexington does have, you know, some pretty competitive rent rates, you know, you can look anywhere from like, for a two bedroom, one and a half bath, probably looking at, you know, around that 1000 to 1200 range, where if you get on the outskirts, that's probably closer to like 900-1000. Mark: Wow. Daniel: And you're still close enough to where you can commute, when I think commute, I think anything 15 minutes or less, is you know, you're right there. Mark: That's incredible. So you have this younger, younger set of, you know, let's call it the millennial generation. And next thing, you know, we have Gen Z coming around the corner. You know, what I've been reading as well is that, you know, this is one of the most highly educated, you know, post graduate groups in the in the entire country. So I saw that 42.9% of the population 25 years or older has at least a bachelor's degree. And 18.6% has a graduate or professional degree, which is the 11th highest. Let's see ranking Lexington, the 11th most highly educated city in the country. That's incredible. Wow. So the colleges are keeping the the renters around or whomever you may be buying as well. But they're staying around so they don't just graduate and then take off for the big city. It sounds like they're they're sticking around and spending their disposable income there. Mark: Yeah, it's, and a lot of that ties back to birth friendly city. No, we were not like all up in your business. But when you talk to us, we're cordial. We're, you know, we're genuinely interested when you're trying to carry on a conversation with us, we're not trying to, like turn up our nose and say, See, everyone's helpful, and very supportive. And I think that drives a lot into why you're seeing a lot of retention when students graduate from UK. So we also have Transylvania University, which, you know, is not on the same level as UK, as far as like, student wise population. But academically, they, you know, like you said, they rival pretty much anyone in the nation. So we have a lot of educated people that choose to remain here just for the sake of, there's opportunity. And we're growing, we're still, you know, expanding. We're in Lexington has not reached its full potential yet. And so there's plenty of opportunity for growth. And that's what makes it attractive to a lot of people. Mark: Well, that's great. Well, we'll put some show notes and links into the podcast. But there's locateinlexington.com, that's where I got a lot of my information. It's the economic development group out of out of Lexington, or typically, it's the, you know, the Chamber of Commerce, that puts out a lot of great content. So I highly advise anybody to go check that out and study some more of those statistics. But let's get into the actual like, let's get into the micro economics of this and start talking about what little pockets of Lexington that you're really focused on. So as a kind of a preface, you know, Daniel is the one that is a part of a certified agent network at Roofstock. So he's actually underwriting a lot of the properties from the MLS and then posting them to Roofstock. So he comes up in estimates if it's vacant, or rent a random out as well as potential rehab. So maybe Daniel, give us a little idea about when you're going through and looking at properties. What are you looking for that you would consider as a good investment property and maybe walk us through some of the pockets around Lexington and talk about whether it's schools that are the driver or areas that are more a cap rate for Guess you know where you can get the better return on your investment. So give us a little Intel there. Daniel: Well, so let's talk about the sweet spots, because I love, love talking about sweet spots. So in Lexington, one of the hottest areas is the Kenwick subdivision area that's 40502 on the zip code, anything that you can pick up there that is increasing in value. So just to give you an idea, like what we saw last year, compared to this year, numbers were up about 20%, just in that area alone, which is just crazy. So Lexington as a whole, we had about 1.9 months of inventory the last year that has, unfortunately decreased it's like 1.3 months of inventory right now, which, you know, not saying you can't find deals, because a lot of investors think oh, well, you can't find deals on the multiple listing service. Well, that's where I get a lot of my deals. If you know what you're looking for, you know what you're doing, you can find cap rates as high as like nine, nine plus percent on properties that are on the Multiple Listing, I find those all the time and upload those for you on Roofstock. So, you know, what I've been experiencing? Since I have joined Rootstock, I'm actually you know, we're, we're writing about an offer per day. Right. So it's, it's just crazy. And there's a reason that a lot of investors were targeting. And it goes back to all of the things that we have discussed throughout the podcast. Mark: That's great. So maybe walk us through a few other areas, or how do you kind of divide the lines is it highways that are dividing is it you know, other areas that kind of separate where some of the better schools are give us an idea about how you would kind of generally categorize that. Daniel: We do have some schools that you know, outperform others, you know, as a real estate agent, I am kind of bound by this no discrepancy rule, kind of things. But Lexington if you think about it, Lexington as itself as if you think of a wagon wheel, and then each spoke points to the center. So the center is downtown, we have this road called New Circle Road or Circle 4 it makes up the outliers of Lexington, and then each exit points as a spoken and all focuses towards downtown. And then we have now started to take that wagon wheel. And now we're putting another wheel around that where we're getting into some of the other areas that have direct access to like, I64, I75. And we've noticed some rapid growth in those areas as well, that's out in the Hamburg area. Also, we just build a new high school, Frederick Douglas high school that has drawn a lot of investors into that area. And then you know, because we have UK, there are some opportunities to invest in the UK student area where you will constantly have an influx of students, you'll never run out of opportunities there. Most of those are more than four units, though. So if you're interested in that field with me, I'm sure we'll go over my contact information later on. And we can discuss those opportunities. Mark: That's great. That's great. So, you know, when you're underwriting these properties in general, you know, is there a certain cap rate that you're really looking for? Because I know, like you said, the price points, you know, can be a bit higher in some of the areas but it sounds like your taxes also are not nearly as high as what you'd experience in areas like Texas where I am. So what is the price point and expectations that buyers should expect? You know, in terms of maybe like something between 100 and $150,000, you know, what should a cap rate look like and then 150 to 200, and so forth. Daniel: Most of the tax rate and Fayette County is 1.278%. So, you take that into consideration, which puts you know, if you're buying a property at like 100,000, you, you're right at about 200 a month or something like that, which points to 2400 a year. Or if you go lower, then of course that varies your cap rates. And my sweet spot is you know if I can find anything 9 plus I'm golden, but if I can get it between that seven and 9% I know most investors will no bite on that Mark: Fantastic. Wow. Yeah, those are numbers that you You really don't see in some of the the major we would call like tier one cities. But as you get into these secondary markets where you have less competition, and there is a little bit more available inventory, it doesn't sound like there's much so you need to add quickly. But, you know, there's some markets where I mean, properties aren't aren't on MLS for more than four to six hours, and then they're snapped up. So it sounds like you have a little bit of breathing room, but not a whole lot of time to react. Daniel: No. And so there is a great sitting right outside of Lexington. It's Richmond, it's about 20 minutes away. It has it's another college town, it's got Eastern Kentucky University is there EKU. And you would be surprised on $125,000 property, you want to take a guess at what the taxes are per year. Mark: No tell me Daniel: $25 Mark: What Aren't you getting for $25, though? That's what concerns me? Daniel: Well, it makes a great opportunity for some investments, I actually have put a couple of those up on Roofstock. So you can check those out. And the cap rates on those. I think one of those was like 14%. So it's definitely worth at least checking out. Mark: So is it just an unincorporated town where they're not paying You know, the local city taxes are what makes it such a steal? Daniel: Just county taxes, not so much on the city end? And the county taxes are like .099321 or something like that. I mean, it's it's absurd tax rate. And I was like, No, this can't be real. But I got on the property value administration, which investors if you're not checking your PVA rates, you need to go check those out prior to on any potential investment. That's a added bonus tip there. Mark: PVA stands for what? Daniel: Property value administration, Mark: Okay. Daniel: And basically, they're the city elected officials that go around, they collect the taxes for the city on the property. A lot of people think, well, it's the sheriff's office that does that, well, yes, they go out and they serve the tax, notice that it's all paid to the county or to the city. And so when I said there's some great opportunity to invest in properties, not just in watchmen, but also the outskirts, Richmond in is one of those areas that it's definitely worth checking out. Mark: Very cool. So we've touched on a lot of the highlights, and I always think it's good to go through and really, you know, put a spotlight on the city, some of the great things, tell us about the negative aspects. And you know, I don't want to beat up on Lexington too much. But this is where I want you to be very forward with us. You know, are Are there any common issues that you see, in most of the properties, you know, that are investment properties that somebody may acquire, but what are the things that investors should be looking out for in keeping their guards up on? Daniel: I would say a lot of it has to do with whatever pm you're using and pm for property management, just making sure that they're vetting, properly vetting the tenants. Because, you know, it's just like any industry, every industry has their bad apples, and some do not do as thorough job as others. So, you know, just make sure that you properly evaluate your clients out. If you're charging, you know, 595 for rent, you know, that there's probably going to be some, I'm not saying that, that it will always be the case. But we know more often times than not the lower the rent rolls, the core conditions condition that they leave the property and when they leave, and that's not every single tenant, but the majority do because it's not their place. They don't care for it the same way. So we're not putting granite countertops when we go in to those facilities. You know, a nice Formica countertop, a lot of times people think, Oh, well I have to go in I have to get this place. And believe me, I made the same mistake when I invested in my first property after you know, having multiple properties. Now it's just about hey, what can I do? Go and buy it low? Let's repaint the cabinets, refinish them, let's put some new doorknobs or you know, hardware on the cabinets. Let's change out the door knobs put some decent doorknobs put some LED light fixtures in it. Then clean up the curb appeal. Then, you know, okay, now we can get that reappraised it will nine times out of 10 appraise for even higher than what your original purchase for let's refi, refi that pour initial money back out with our repair money, use that money to go buy our next investment and keep growing the portfolio that way. But answering, you know, getting back to your question, I know we kind of went off the tangent on that one. So, tenant mixture, we do have, we do have section eight, we do have a need for, you know, Community Housing, and, you know, those needs. We do have some landlords that, you know, for whatever reason, they, you know, COVID kind of hit them a little hard. And maybe their tenants didn't pay rent, which we know, a landlords experienced that all across the country. So, you know, we didn't experience that much here in Lexington, but we did have a few that they stiffed of the rent, and then, you know, when the moratorium got lifted, then they just bolted rather than face the eviction, which, you know, they got to live in it free for about a year. So they did, you know, kind of do some damage, they didn't really take care of the place, and nothing like major, but, you know, cosmetic wise, they, you know, don't, they didn't take care of it like they should. So I mean, a couple of drywall, patches, some new paint, maybe some new carpets, and then you're out the door, or, you know, in mine, I don't even use carpet anymore, I go completely vinyl. And that's what I'm Mark: Sure.Well, it sounds like there may be some tired landlords coming, coming to market in the near future, because that is a quite a blow to take and not have income coming in, but still having to pay pay your mortgage. So yeah, that's always the risk that you take. Now, I have to, I think, really good questions that I want to jump into as well as when you get an inspection. And in Lexington, you may say, you know, Mark, there's just one thing that you will see time and time again, that falls on that inspection report. But don't freak out. Like let's not let's not jump to conclusions and say, Oh, I'm out. What are those things that a buyer should expect in Lexington, that is just going to be common, you know, and in something that's going to be easy to remedy versus a deal killer. Daniel: Okay, so inspectors love to talk about drainage issues, and the effects of groundwater on the foundation. And they'll go on for like three pages in the report talking about all these potential damages that could occur if left untreated. What that means is that on the downspouts, you need to go to Lowe's, you need to get one of those black hoses to attach the downspouts and divert the groundwater away from the house. That's about a $15 fix per downspout. But they will. But if you just read the report, and you're not talking to an investor savvy agent, they will have you convinced that this home needs hundreds of 1000s of dollars in repair or 10s of 1000s I you know, almost as much as the cost to build the place. And that's certainly not the case. Mark: Yeah, and I think what we're all experiencing right now, we've had a little more rainfall than normal. So I think it's good for any investor to check even their primary homes and make sure that water is going away from the property. Cuz in the south especially. Yeah, the the grounds may dry up like in Texas, we have clay. So you know, when it gets really hot, you don't have the right moisture down there. That's when the foundation issues come about. So yeah, I do agree, you just you got to reroute the water. Daniel: Now, I will mention that we do have some homes here in Kentucky that were built. And they have some knob and tube wiring. So it's rare to find those. But some of those older homes, like I mentioned in the Kenwick subdivision, some of the older homes there, they're full of knob and tube wiring that are still active. And you're not supposed to splice into those, but a lot of homeowners have spliced into that. So make sure that you look for that on the inspection report. Mark: That's great. But I think just knowing what's common and what to look for is big and then when you get the inspection report, maybe tell us a little bit about how how you interact with the buyer at that point. So when when the inspection comes back, you know, Roofstock's, helping pay for that in order for a buyer to get the roof stock guarantees. How do you like to go through an inspection report with your buyers? Daniel: So we just look at it line by line. And I'll ask them hey, you know, what are your concerns over This section, let's talk about this. Then, after we talk about the whole report, I'll ask them. Okay, so what's the deal breakers? Because we can't ask for every single thing. This is not a punch list. A, you know? What's your top? Top Five deal breakers on this? Okay? So out of those five with what's your top three? So if I can narrow it down to like, one, two or three that, okay, we can have those items requested as repairs. And then, okay, these would be nice to have, but I'm okay If they don't do this, then let's, let's submit that and see where we land. You know, I'm, I'm all about trying to keep everybody on the same team, which I do, you know, bring the other side in, I don't look at it is it's like us versus them. Like, no, we're all involved here. Listen, if we can make this work financially, then, hey, it's a great investment. It's a great opportunity. If we can't work it, okay, well, then we're obviously we got to kill the deal. But I tried to see what other avenues can we take? Before we get to that point. Mark: Man, this is great. Well, everything I've heard about Lexington has been an eye opener for myself and as an investor you always want to know Where the next markets are that others maybe haven't quite cannibalized, I would like to say you have iBuyers out there, you have institutions out there. And it just seems like Lexington is, you know, more of a local investors market, you're not having as much outside interest. But that may be an opportunity for our Roofstock investors to come out to Lexington. Daniel: It definitely is. Lexington is like one of those well kept secrets, that is slowly starting to trickle out to the rest of the nation. And what we're seeing, as far as the outside interest, outside interest is high, simply because what you can buy out on the west coast, you can buy multiple properties for that same price, right here on in Kentucky. Mark: That's amazing. Well, just to kind of close it out. And then we'll ask ask how people can get in contact with you. But the probably the top statistic I always love to look at is the census data. And it shows that 54% of those in Fayette County, which is Lexington and some of the surrounding cities, is that ownership rate is 54%. That national average is 64%. So you have a lot more renters in the area. And then all these economic drivers such as you know, the colleges, you know, the the younger, you know, the the younger renter base that's, you know, graduating and needing somewhere to move up into once they get a job locally. And all the job growth that to me, those are the win win opportunities that again, there's going to be more opportunity even with low supply that you have, there's going to be more to pick from because I think our buyers can be more competitive in the market to find properties in that seven to 9% cap rate, like what you're talking about. In a lot of other markets. That's kind of the unicorn that is fictitious, there used to be a five or seven to 9% cap rate, but those have been compressed and pretty much disappearing at this point. Daniel: Yeah. Mark: Glad you could be with us today. Daniel, maybe give us an idea. If somebody wanted to reach out and talk to you a bit more about what's happening in Lexington or, you know, maybe have a conversation before they make an offer. How can they get in touch with you? Daniel: Best way to get in touch with me is either by phone or text, you can text me at 859-797-4007 or you can email at Daniel@makekyhome.com. Mark: That is awesome. Thanks so much for joining us today. I am enlightened now. And I'm more than excited to see what kind of activity we get with you and start to drive some offers t so thanks for being on today. Daniel, we really appreciate it. Daniel: Mark. Thank you again. Mark: Hey everyone, thanks for listening and participating in today's podcast on Lexington, Kentucky. Daniel brought a lot of good information. So we hope that it's useful for you and we look forward to having you on next time. Happy investing.

Show Notes Are Dead. Long Live the Full Transcript. What do you think?----------Jeff Medders: All right, everybody. We'll come back to a another episode of home row. And I'm your host, Jeff Medders. And on today's show, I have author Wesley Hill on the program. He's written all kinds of books and it's just a joy to have him on, especially we're going to talk about, talk about his new book and the Christian essential series, the Lord's prayer, a guide to praying to our Father.[00:00:36] So Wes, how are you, man?[00:00:38] Wesley Hill: I'm doing really well. Thanks for having me on the show.[00:00:40] Jeff Medders: Awesome man. Now, what part of the United States are you in? Are you in the United States? I know you got your PhD from outside of the United States, but I think you're in Pennsylvania, right?[00:00:47] Wesley Hill: That's right. Yup. I'm just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[00:00:50] Jeff Medders: Okay. I've been to Pennsylvania. Well, I guess a couple. No, at once, for sure.[00:00:55]I went to red lion, Pennsylvania.[00:00:58] Wesley Hill: I'm not even sure where that is, to be honest. I don't, I don't know my own state [00:01:02] Jeff Medders: It's, it's up in the Amish country. And I remember going there with, some friends of ours that were missionaries in Thailand and they were in town. And we went to go visit them and we went to the Amish market and all this stuff, and I bought kangaroo jerky.[00:01:19]I dunno where the Amish are getting kangaroo jerky from, but it's there and fun fact that if you go to the Amish markets and stuff, you can't use your debit card or credit card[00:01:32]Wesley Hill: Hmm.[00:01:32] Jeff Medders: cash only.[00:01:34] Wesley Hill: I would believe that.[00:01:36] Jeff Medders: That's something you want to, you want to prepare for that ahead of time, which I did not.[00:01:38] Wesley Hill: That's right. [00:01:39] Jeff Medders: not, but thankfully they had an ATM nearby,[00:01:41] Wesley Hill: So probably really beautiful country to drive through too, I imagine.[00:01:45] Jeff Medders: Yeah. Very cool. the horse buggies and all that good stuff. And then there was a few guys on rollerblades, which was interesting.[00:01:51] Wesley Hill: Oh, right. Okay.[00:01:53] Jeff Medders: so we had to talk about the, you know, it's not a motor, it was a wheels. They were okay with that and OS different stuff. It was interesting.[00:01:59] Wesley Hill: Interesting. We'll come to Pittsburgh sometime, but we're, we're pretty fun city too.[00:02:03] Jeff Medders: Okay. I'll put it on the list now before this turns into an Amish podcast. so Wes, why don't you tell the listeners out there who you are, what you do for work and all that good stuff.[00:02:14] Wesley Hill: Yeah. Great. well the reason you're having me on your podcast is I am a writer. I've just written a new little book, for Lexam Press on the Lord's prayer. And, I really enjoy writing. I've written a handful of books, as you mentioned. so I view that as part of my calling, part of what I do. but for my day job, so to speak, I am a seminary professor.[00:02:34]I teach at a small, Anglican Episcopal seminary here in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, which is just Northwest of Pittsburgh. And, I've been here, I'm in my eighth year now. and I teach in the Bible department. I teach New Testament. I'm also ordained, I do some preaching and, lead Sunday school at my church. so I'm, I'm pretty involved in different kinds of ministries, but that's, that's me in a nutshell.[00:02:57] Jeff Medders: Yeah. So when, when you're not lecturing, Oh, let me ask just for fun for me. What, what textbook are you using for your new Testament survey?[00:03:04] Wesley Hill: You know, I'm test driving the new N.T. Wright? One, that he coauthored with Mike Bird. That's come out from Zondervan. It's huge. It's huge. When it arrived on my doorstep, I was like, Oh my gosh, this is like a brick. so we'll see it. It looks really beautifully illustrated. And, I assigned.[00:03:21] Emails [00:03:21] Jeff Medders: from the Edge is a cool feature.[00:03:23] Wesley Hill: Yeah, exactly.[00:03:24] Exactly. So, you know, right. It's so engaging in the way he writes. I imagine it will be something that will grip a lot of the students, but, yeah, I'll let you know how it goes.[00:03:32] Jeff Medders: I bet. Are you having them read the whole thing?[00:03:34] Wesley Hill: They're not going to read every single page, but they're going to, they're going to read all the chapters devoted to different new Testament books for sure.[00:03:42] Jeff Medders: that's right. So I'm planning this year, I'm just, I want to read all of the condensed version of Wright's works and then, you know, maybe a couple of the New Testament, you know, summary parts, but then save those for when I'm about to preach through a book or goes or go study a book.[00:03:57] Wesley Hill: Yeah. Yeah. Great. I mean, I think that that series of books, you know, the, for everyone, commentaries are such a gift to the church. I've heard of so many Bible study groups using those and finding them really beneficials. Yeah. Plenty. A lot of good things to dig into there.[00:04:11] Jeff Medders: Okay, cool. So, so when you're not lecturing and you're not writing and you're not, you're not preaching, what, what are you doing for fun?[00:04:18] Wesley Hill: You know? So I have a unique living situation. I live about five blocks from the seminary campus where I work, a Trinity school for ministry. It's called . And, I share a home with a married couple and their two children and a lot of evenings you'll find me playing with their kids. They're, they're my godchildren.[00:04:36] I've gotten to really enjoy kind of a domestic life. I love cooking now. And, I've, I've loved cooking for a long time. It's been a way to kind of unwind after a day at the writing desk or something like that. but it's, it's a joy to be doing it, you know, with people I love.[00:04:49]now and, and sharing daily life with them. So yeah, lots of, their, their kids are now, three years old and six months old. So a lot of, playing, playing house and playing with dolls with the, with a three year old girl with Felicity, and, changes in diapers with Solomon. So, yeah, it's, it's been really life giving for me.[00:05:07] I'm single, and it's just been great to kind of be integrated into the life of a family in that way.[00:05:12] Jeff Medders: Yeah. That's very cool. Very cool. So how did you know that you wanted to become a writer or that you were a writer? Did I come to you in a, in a vision, like maybe a, a sheet. It's not full of lizards and reptiles, but of keyboards and, you know, journals --take up and take up and, right.[00:05:32] Wesley Hill: Yeah, well, you know, I, I mean, I, I'm not sure I ever like set out to become a writer, quote, unquote. But I, I do vividly remember, you know, at age, gosh, I was probably 11 or 12 when I just started writing short stories on my family's computer. and I actually wrote a novel, a detective novel, mystery, novel, whatever.[00:05:51] Over 13. I was so proud of it. I, I still do. I'm, I'm scared to go back and read it, although it'd probably be funny. Yeah. so I, you know, and I remember, I remember submitting a short story to, did you ever read clubhouse magazine put out by focusing on the family? I submitted a short story to them one time.[00:06:09] And so I think I always kind of had the itch to like, you know, it's a strange thing. I think so many of us, right? But fewer of us have that urge to like, share it with other people and put it out there. And I think I have always kind of had that urge to, to share my writing with others. So, so maybe there's a part of me that has always wanted to be, you know, a writer as, as a, as a job.[00:06:29]But yeah, so it, it, it sort of emerged out of, I developed a real love for theology and, and just good writing, when I was in high school and then I went to college at Wheaton. And, so I, I kind of developed a sense of calling that I'm, I want to be a teacher in the church. I want to be a theologian.[00:06:47] And I think the writing piece of it kind of grew out of that for me. But I've always just enjoyed, I was actually talking to a writer friend yesterday about how it seems like a lot of Christians care about getting good ideas out there, but maybe fewer Christians kind of enjoy crafting sentences and playing with words.[00:07:06] And I've always enjoyed both aspects. You know, the, the big ideas of theology, but also just trying to find exactly the right way to express them in a way that's going to be engaging and interesting. And, So, yeah, I think that's kind of how it started for me[00:07:20] Jeff Medders: What's some of your writing process like, cause obviously like a lot of writers that, you know, were not full time, you know, none of us, none of the people I've interviewed I think, or none of my listeners, you know, weren't evangelical writing.[00:07:33] And so this is not the kind of writing where you can live off of this stuff. the royalty checks are maybe, you know, we can go out to eat. Like, let's, I'll treat some guys to, you know, some coffee this weekend or wouldn't, you know, sometimes they're very, very puny. Sometimes they're, sometimes they're nice, sometimes they're not.[00:07:49] But you know, you've, you're teaching, you're, you're pastoring. you've got your church community. I mean, even just got all kinds of stuff. So with all of that, in the, in the balance, how do you find time to, to write.[00:08:03] Wesley Hill: Yeah. You know, I started, I started my academic career thinking that, Oh my gosh, I've now landed like one of those coveted jobs where I get a couple of months off in the summer and that's going to be like my writing time. I'll, I'll get so much done. And I also get, you know, a big chunk of time off around Christmas.[00:08:20] That'll be another. Big productive time. And I've realized for me, like that's if I pin all of my writing hopes on those kind of big blocks of time. It just never, it never happens. You know, something will come in to kind of crowd it out. So it has to be more of a weekly or even daily discipline. and I, I sort of learned that.[00:08:38]you know, early on, I remember Tim Larson who teaches church history at Wheaton, telling me, I asked him, you know, how have you managed to write so much while being a full time teacher at Wheaton? And he said, the key for him is just not, not counting on the holidays, not counting on the sabbaticals, but just kind of chipping away at it in small chunks week by week.[00:08:57] And I think that's been true for me, you know, so I, I, I'll get up early and right before I have to go to class or I'll come home and, and you know, so, so typically at my seminary, we teach in three hour blocks. So like this morning I was in the classroom from nine to noon, and you know, now I'm here at my home office talking to you, this afternoon, but, but you know, I have a couple of hours after this and I can, I can get some writing done there.[00:09:20] So I think it's. I think it's just finding those blocks of time, and, and then guarding them. So I'll actually put into my calendar, you know, this two hour chunk this afternoon is blocked off as writing. And then when I, when I see that, I know I can't schedule something else during that time. And, yeah, just kind of, kind of safeguarding those, those moments that you're able to block off, during the week.[00:09:41] But, but it is, you know, I think, I think there's no way around the fact that it is a sacrifice. I mean, you're giving up. Time to do this, you know, if you care about it, so you're waking up earlier than maybe you would be comfortable for you normally to, to, to try to write something. so yeah, I don't, I don't know that that's anything profound, but that's, that's kinda how it's worked for me.[00:10:01] Jeff Medders: No, that's great. I think just that little bit of advice just to even put in your own calendar, like writing, and to actually do it and now take appointments, not, you know, not fill it up and to do it. That's[00:10:10] Wesley Hill: Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. To to, to sort of give yourself permission to say, this is worth doing. Therefore, I'm going to like say no to, to other appointments that might arise in order to safeguard that time. I think that's important. Okay.[00:10:23] Jeff Medders: Do you always write at your home office there, your home study or do you like you go to a coffee shop or seminary library or what's, what's[00:10:30] Wesley Hill: You know, I, I find that I, I find that I really can't go to the seminary because there's just so many interruptions, like, you know, I mean, colleagues and students will come by and I, and I love that, you know, but I basically ended up just talking the whole time rather than getting work done. So I will. I will go to Starbucks and write.[00:10:46]a lot of my best writing that I think just happens here at my home office. You know, I've got a, I've got a little space on the third floor of our house where I have all my books and you know, a desk where I can kind of spread out. So that seems to work best for me.[00:10:58] Jeff Medders: What's your, what's your go to order at Starbucks?[00:11:02] Wesley Hill: You know, I'm very boring. It's just a tall, dark roast. [00:11:05] Jeff Medders: pretty boring.[00:11:08] Wesley Hill: But the price is right compared to their other[00:11:10] Jeff Medders: yeah. No kidding. If you want to, if you want to get adventurous, and you haven't tried it yet, the nitro cold brew is [00:11:19] Wesley Hill: amazing.[00:11:19] I do. Yeah. So in the summers I do like the cold brews, and you're right. The nitro is pretty great.[00:11:24] Jeff Medders: I guess it is cold up there right now. Here I'm in. I'm in Houston, and it's actually cold right now. And so I'll tell you what it is for us. It's 53 degrees right now,[00:11:33] Wesley Hill: Oh, wow.[00:11:34] Jeff Medders: is, this is like freezing, you know,[00:11:37] Wesley Hill: Yeah, yeah, exactly.[00:11:38] Jeff Medders: big, I took my son to school this morning.[00:11:39] Everybody's in big puffy jackets and, and hoodies and all this stuff. So this is blistering cold.[00:11:45] Wesley Hill: I grew up in Arkansas, so I get[00:11:47] Jeff Medders: Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You got it. Yeah. So I love the nitro cold brew with the salted foam. Oh man, that's amazing. And I got Matt Smethurst at the gospel coalition. I think he's full on addicted to it now as well.[00:11:59] Wesley Hill: Oh, great. Great.[00:12:01] Jeff Medders: So, so when you're riding there at your home office, are you using music? are you, you know, I like to pop a vinyl record on if, you know, if I feel like I'm going to be in the, in the groove there, what are you doing?[00:12:10] Wesley Hill: Yes, sometimes. it has to be instrumental music for me. so I, I, I have been on a big Max Richter kick lately, listening to his sleep album, which is just a masterpiece, I think. so yeah, sometimes I'll have music on in the background. Other times I'll just be so much in the zone that I kind of just, I need no distractions at all, including instrumental music.[00:12:30] But yeah, maybe I'm unusual in that way. I'm not[00:12:33] Jeff Medders: No, I don't think so. I've heard from all kinds of, you know, people the way they do, like, yeah, I have no music.[00:12:39]or they use the, there's a website called the coffeeivity where it has like the background, the ambient noise of like a coffee shop.[00:12:47] Wesley Hill: Yeah, yeah.[00:12:48]Jeff Medders: Don Whitney was actually the one that showed me, showed me that I think, there's people using, yeah, I like jazz music. So I like to, I like to write to jazz. right now I have the, the hub of Hubbard over there on my, on my record player on my turntable.[00:13:01] Then I've got, usually Miles Davis, Thelonious monk. Some somethings are the stranger things soundtrack, like something's going to go up there.[00:13:08] Wesley Hill: Oh, yeah, yeah,[00:13:09] Jeff Medders: that'd be fun to listen to. Now. Now let's say you're going to sit down to write. cause now I, I know you, you write books, but I feel like I've seen you write articles at websites every now and then.[00:13:19] Am I mistaken?[00:13:21] Wesley Hill: No, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. I, I've, I've written for Christianity today and first things and the now sadly defunct books and culture, my favorite place to write for no, no more. But yeah, so I try to, I try to write it for some periodicals as well.[00:13:35] Jeff Medders: Okay, so let's, let's think about the periodical step before we get into book writing. And you're going to sit down to write an article for a magazine for a website. What is the, how does it begin for you? Do you, do you outline just on a piece of paper? Are you crafting in Evernote? What's the, are you writing in Microsoft word are like, what are you doing?[00:13:53] Wesley Hill: Yeah. You know? so it often begins with me, noticing a hook for an article. Like I'll, I'll, I'll see a news piece that triggers some line of thought and, and, you know, I carry around a mole skin notebook and I'll, I'll sometimes just jot down a quick. Outline for a piece, and then I'll, I'll come back and open up Microsoft word and, and, and just start writing.[00:14:17] You know, I'll have the outline in my head and sometimes it really changes, you know, as I go on, I kind of try to, follow what the piece seems to want. if that doesn't sound too esoteric, but just kind of kind of seeing what. How it goes from that point. And, you know, I think, I think I've had to learn, you know, so I got a PhD in, in academic biblical studies, and there's a certain kind of style that's expected for that genre, but it's a very different thing to write for a website or, or a periodical where you're, you're really, Trying to hold the reader's attention. you know, you can't count on the reader's attention in the way that maybe you can, if you've written a monograph that you know, someone who's researching this topic is going to want to read you, you actually have to earn, the reader's trust and convince them that this is, this is worth.[00:15:02] You know, worth their time. so yeah, for me, it often begins with, with a kind of hook, whether from, from pop culture or something. I'm reading something I've heard, in the news and, and I'll often try to kind of reflect on it theologically or bring some kind of, historical or biblical depth to it, in that sense.[00:15:22] But, but yeah, so I think it, and I, and I wouldn't claim to be an expert here, but, but it's a very different. Kind of thing to be writing for a popular audience versus an academic audience. And I'm, I'm still, I'm still trying to hone my craft in that regard.[00:15:36] Jeff Medders: Yeah. Yeah. I can't, I can't imagine the challenges, for all that. I, I mean, I, I can't a little a tad bit, cause[00:15:43] Wesley Hill: Hmm. Hmm.[00:15:44] Jeff Medders: written two books, solo, coauthored one, and then, Writing for a popular level, like my most recent book is humble Calvinism.[00:15:52] That came out with a good book company. And so, you know, writing with with some snap and crackle and pop and some wit and punches is a lot of fun. And then. I'm getting ready for PhD stuff. And so I had to do some, some work before that. And yeah, getting, trying to get more, cause I've never done heavy academic writing or having to, and some of the pre work for that that I've had to do is like, Oh my goodness, this[00:16:18] Wesley Hill: Yeah, yeah.[00:16:19] Jeff Medders: way different.[00:16:21] Wesley Hill: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, having said that, I suppose the flip side is, you know, you read a really well crafted piece of academic writing. it's a reminder that not all academic writing has to be cold and boring and clinical. You know, they're, they're writers. I'm thinking of people like Richard Hayes who write beautiful prose, in a, in a very academic way, or, or NT Wright would be another good example. You know, someone who, who, who writes really well in that mode, so, so, yeah. I'm always . Just kind of trying to beat the drum for, you know, more of more of us who are trained professionally in the Guild of biblical studies or theology should care about good sentences.[00:16:55] And like you say, the, the, the snap and the, and the crackle and the whipped and those things.[00:16:59] Jeff Medders: Yeah, like Kevin Vanhoozer, he's gotta be one of my favorites.[00:17:02] Wesley Hill: Yeah. Yeah. Our Robert Jensen, the late Robert Jensen, just,[00:17:06] Jeff Medders: John Webster. I'm like, man, they're just a joy to read. and they just offer so much. And Michael Bird too. Michael Bird is hilarious. And so, yeah. Bird and Writght together. I mean, that's like peanut butter and jelly. This is great. Now. And writing your, your latest book, the Lord's prayer, a guide to praying to our father.[00:17:26] So. When this, when this project was you, you signed on, okay, we're going to, I'm going to do this book. Was there ever a moment of regret and, and, and this way. I may, I got to try to say something new and fresh on the Lord's prayer. Like, you know, there's tons and tons of books, like, so man, that, that challenge, to, to tackle the Lord's prayer is as a, as a daunting one for such a small, such a small section in the new Testament, you know, nestled there in the sermon on the Mount.[00:17:56]yeah. So, so tell us about, you know, kind of the process for writing this book and, Then I then I'll, I'll follow up, but just also kind of what your, what your, what your, what you're hoping that disciples of Christ learn as they read this book.[00:18:08] Wesley Hill: Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. Well, I guess maybe the first thing to say is I didn't set out to ride on the Lord's prayer. I didn't imagine I would ever do that. I mean, I've, I've certainly taught it and continued to teach it at the seminary where I, where I work. but I didn't never imagine writing a book on it.[00:18:22] Like you say, there's been so much that's been written. but Lexam Press, as you mentioned at the beginning of our conversation today, has a new series they've launched called Christian essentials. And, they're, they're short little books that are designed to be used in churches, you know, in Sunday school classes and kind of catechetical settings.[00:18:42]so the first one came out, a couple of years ago, I think now the Apostle's creed by the Osprey. The Australian and the alerts and Ben Myers. and, so I, I got an email from, from an editor there, and he said, Hey, would you be interested in contributing to this series? And we talked about what I might do and kind of settled on the Lord's prayer.[00:19:00]so it felt a little bit like, you know, in my, in my tradition, each Sunday we're, we're given the text to preach from, we don't, we don't choose them. You know, the lectionary chooses them for us. And it sort of felt a bit like that, you know, here I am being handed this text that I didn't necessarily imagine I would be writing on that.[00:19:15] And now, you know, do I have something to say about it? And, yeah, I mean, you ask about regret there. There was a moment early on in the process where I went to the library and, I was, I was kinda had my breath taken away by just how many individual volumes. Have already been written, all the words, prayer, you know, stretching back to the very earliest days of the church.[00:19:35] I mean, you know, we have, we have discourses on the Lord's prayer from origin and Augustan and, you know, it's just such a, it's such well-trodden ground. So, you know, I think, I think there was that, that initial kind of shock. And then I thought, you know, every generation needs to ponder this again. So it's, it's not a problem that there would be more, more reflection on the Lord's prayer.[00:19:57]you know, it's, it's one of those texts that's so foundational for the faith that w we will never not need more meditation on it. so, so yeah, that, that kinda took away some of the pressure and, you know, I was kind of. Praying about what, what, what direction do I need to go here? What angle do I have?[00:20:14] And, and, you know, I remembered, several years ago, George Hunsinger the, the reformed theologian at Princeton, published a little book on the beatitudes and he, he, in the preface, he says he was kind of in a similar place. He had been asked to give these lectures on the beatitudes and he didn't know kind of which way to go.[00:20:32] And then he said, you know, what would happen if I, if I approached them Christocentricly and said, you know. Each of these beatitudes is a, is a window into the character in the work of Jesus himself. And and so he does that. He just kind of goes through a beatitude after beatitude and says, how does this point to Christ?[00:20:48] And I thought, you know what, what, what if I approached the Lord's prayer that way? Obviously Jesus is giving us this prayer for us to pray, but. You know, before that or, or above that or beyond that at all of the, all of the clauses, all of the petitions point to him and tell us something about him. And he, he embodies the prayer.[00:21:06] I mean, he even even literally praise, praise portions of the prayer, you know, throughout his ministry. like in the garden of Gethsemane, he says, thy will be done, you know, which is straight out of the Lord's prayer. So he himself is embodying this prayer and, and once I kind of. Once I kind of realized that was going to be my theme, it became much easier to kind of get into the prayer from there.[00:21:25]Jeff Medders: Yeah, man, that's, yeah, that's so beautiful. It reminds me of when, you know, I had Jen Wilkin on the show and you know, she's written written books on the attributes of God, and asked her that is similar.[00:21:35] Like, Hey, you know, AWP, you got AEW tells you, I mean, you've got a holiness of God, RC Sproul, you know, all kinds. So like, why, again. yeah. the next generation, [00:21:45] Wesley Hill: right.[00:21:45] Jeff Medders: this era of, of disciples who they're not going to go pick up Origen. They're not going to go pick up Augustine. I guess then are[00:21:51] Wesley Hill: Although they should.[00:21:52] Jeff Medders: they should.[00:21:52] Yeah. They'd be so blessed to it, but yeah, to be ends, maybe some people will be introduced to, to the Lord's[00:21:58] Wesley Hill: that's right. That's[00:21:59]Jeff Medders: through this[00:22:00] Wesley Hill: And that's. No, I should say that's the only thing that made me excited about this series is when, when Todd Haynes at Lexan, was pitching it to me, he said, you know, we, we want these books to be, people's introductions to some of the tradition of the church, you know, so he said, feel free to draw on the church fathers and the Protestant reformers, and, you know, the, the, the, the really great Christian writers of the past.[00:22:20] And I said, yeah, I mean, that's really exciting to think about a contemporary book being used. As a, as a gateway into some of these treasures of, of centuries past.[00:22:30] Jeff Medders: Yeah. I love it. I think it's great. Was there, were there any parts of the book that you found maybe one, one chapter to be more, more challenging than other others that you can remember?[00:22:42] Wesley Hill: You know, I found the, the, the petition lead us not into temptation or save us from the time of trial. You know, it gets, it gets translated in different ways. I found that really challenging. you know, partly because it's been in the headlines, it's actually been in the news because Pope Francis, you know, is supposedly advocating this, this change in the petition.[00:22:59] Because, you know, we don't want to imply that God is the one who leads us into temptation. And so I just, I, I struggled with how to, how to kind of address that in a way that wouldn't be too technical. but that would kind of lead people into the heart of it. And, and, and again, you know, Jesus himself, he, he says to his followers, you know, they're right before he's arrested in the garden of Gethsemane.[00:23:20] He says, pray that you will be spared from the time of trial. So he's, he's teaching them exactly how to pray this and what it means to pray this. And, and, so I, I, I wrestled with how to go about that, and I think I'm kind of happy with the result, but it was, it was a really challenging chapter to write.[00:23:38] Jeff Medders: I love, I love the Lord's prayer, obviously, for, for all kinds of reasons, but there's one element of it that I just have really come to appreciate, recently as I've been preaching through the gospel, according to Matthew[00:23:48]You know? And Jesus tells them to pray like this.[00:23:52] Wesley Hill: Hmm.[00:23:53] Jeff Medders: so what he gives them doesn't even take 30 seconds to say.[00:23:59] Wesley Hill: Yeah.[00:23:59] Jeff Medders: And I think sometimes, and we're know trying to follow Christ and everyone laments, you know, their their prayer "life". Everyone wishes we had more robust and longer prayer times and longer seasons and prayer, which opposite.[00:24:14] We see awesome modeled by the Lord Jesus. But I just find a. A peculiar comfort that he says, pray like this, and he gives us a 32nd short[00:24:24] Wesley Hill: yeah, yeah,[00:24:25] Jeff Medders: to really just validate all those times where we just say, I don't even know what the brother, than just Lord help me, or, God just bless me today. I need direction. I need guidance. And we feel like, ah, the shortchanged prayers, like I'm so unspiritual, but Jesus gives us a good model here.[00:24:41] Wesley Hill: That's right. Well, and what a contrast to, you know, we, we have these examples in the gospels of the religious leaders of Jesus' day that he's disputing with, that seemed to love these very long theatrical kinds of prayer. And, and, you know, Jesus is offering something really simple as a contrast to that.[00:25:00] And like you say, there's something comforting in that.[00:25:02] Jeff Medders: Yeah. Yeah. I love it. Now, you've written, a lot, lots of theological works and, and, and magazines and articles, periodicals and, and all that kind of good stuff.[00:25:12] And you've also written on the Trinity, Paul and the Trinity. Was that your dissertation or was it just another academic venture?[00:25:19] Wesley Hill: Yeah, no, that, that book was a revised version of my doctoral dissertation, which I completed at Durham university in the UK, so yeah.[00:25:27] Jeff Medders: great. Now, so what are, so how come, let's, let's go Trinitarian. How come the, the Trinity isn't like an Apple, and are like an egg or like H 2 O I mean, I just don't understand. [00:25:40] Wesley Hill: Yeah, yeah. Gosh. I mean, you know, I, I'm not, I'm not going to say I would never use one of those analogies, but they're, they're so, they're so fraught with potential for misunderstanding. Exactly.[00:25:52] Jeff Medders: Yeah. I tell people at our church, you know, we didn't know theology class and stuff. I just said, the reason why we can't find and apt analogy for the Trinity is because there is literally nothing else like it. in the universe. and heaven on earth and above the earth and places invisible, and visible.[00:26:08] There's nothing else like the Trinity. So, so outside of the, just destined to crumble apple analogy and egg analogy and all that stuff. What are you would say some of the major, I guess short-sightedness of Trinitarianism, today and maybe you see it with students or, or maybe just the way we think about the Trinity, that you wish, pastors and writers, and church leaders, small group leaders, Bible, women's Bible study leaders, maybe, you know, could grow and shore up in.[00:26:40] Wesley Hill: Yeah. Boy, that's a really good[00:26:42] Jeff Medders: Yeah. Not, not to be too broad or[00:26:45] Wesley Hill: Yeah. No, I think, so, so I'm, I'm, I'm currently reading through for the second time, a really beautiful book volume, one of systematic theology by Catherine Zonda rager, who's kind of working in the reformed, tradition, kind of, kind of working with Carl Bart and how he modified the tradition.[00:27:04] And. she's clearly, you know, Trinitarian in this volume, but she, she talks about, how she kind of gets worried sometimes that the way modern theologians treat the Trinity as if it's like the only Christian doctrine. Like everything is Trinity. And she's, she's kinda calling us back to recognize the, the fundamental.[00:27:25] Oneness and unity of God. You know, so we, we confess God existing eternally in three persons, but we, we confess one God, there aren't three gods. you know, we, we use this analogy of three persons in a dance or facing one another to try to, you know, get some PR. Just on the Trinity. But ultimately we're talking, like you say, about the transcendent reality of God, which even into all eternity, we will never plumb the depths of, you know, I, I love, I love Jonathan Edwards, vision of heaven that will never get to the end of exploring new, new beauties in God.[00:27:59] You know, we'll, we'll never comprehend God fully. so I think, I, I think I would, I would want to say to pastors and Bible study leaders who feel like. Wow. The tr, everybody's talking about the Trinity now. The Trinity is so important. I have to really know all the ins and outs of all the doctrinal controversies, and I have to, I have to always be speaking in like a, a communal idiom.[00:28:21] Like God is a community of persons. You know, I have to, I have to always be thinking that way. I think there are some dangers there. And you know, I think we need to remember that. we're, we're, we're using the language that God has revealed to us in his word of Father, Son, and Holy spirit. But that does not mean that we're talking about something that we would know of as a, as a community of, of three separate individuals.[00:28:43] You know, we're talking about one God. we're talking about the one God of Israel who's now been known to us, been revealed to us as, as Father, Son, and Spirit. And I think, I think the other thing I would say, honestly, when I teach the doctrine of the Trinity, you know, in, in, in, in church settings and Sunday school settings and things like that, I try to remind people that you may not know all the technical terminology that the logins use for it, but you are already a Trinitarian if you pray as a Christian, I mean to, to bring this back to the Lord's prayer. You know, if you pray the Lord's prayer, you are already participating in the, the mystery of the triune God. Because what you're doing is you're calling out to God the Father in the name of, God, the Son whose words you're using.[00:29:27] You know, he's the one who gave you the words of this prayer to pray, and you're being born along and carried along by the energy and power and prompting of the Holy spirit. so. It really, you know, the, the doctrine of the Trinity is an effort to say theologically what has to be true, if, if that lived experience of prayer is, is real and true.[00:29:48] So, so the doctrine in a sense is there to clarify, it's there to kind of safeguard and to ward off error. But actually the, the getting the doctrinal formulations, right, is not the main event. The main event is actually this. This, this relation we get to enjoy with God through, through price and the Holy spirit.[00:30:06] You know, this relation of intimacy and prayer. yeah. So I don't know if that's helpful,[00:30:10] Jeff Medders: Oh, that's good. Yeah. Amen.[00:30:12] Wesley Hill: that,[00:30:13] Jeff Medders: Amen. Amen. When, let's say maybe a student, I'm sure you read and you get to grade all kinds of papers and, and you've seen good papers, you've seen good essays, you've seen really bad ones. what, what are some things that you would tell to a student you would tell to a, a blossoming writer?[00:30:29]Hey, do these two to three things. and I think you're really grow as a writer.[00:30:34]Wesley Hill: Hmm. Yeah. So I think, I think the first thing I would say, and this, this comes straight out of my own autobiography. I mean, I, I, this is how I feel like I learned to write is, is find the best writers, you can and read them. just, just immerse yourself in, in good writing. and ask yourself, you know, what, what, what makes it tick?[00:30:55] I mean, I've, I've literally like grabbed, an Alan Jacobs essay some sometimes, or a James Wood essay, and said, man, the prose is so good. Let me actually just. Pay attention to this paragraph, like how did they structure it? Here's one long sentence with a couple of dependent clauses. Here's a shorter sentence.[00:31:09] You know, like, how did they do it? How did it work? So I think just, you know, reading a lot, is key. And, you know, I, I think none of us should be so arrogant to think that we have. Something to say, unless we're filling ourselves up with, with good, good writing, you know, good, good thinking. I think that good writing often begins with, with receptivity, you know, with us, with us, receiving, with us, taking in, before we have something to offer in writing.[00:31:36] So, yeah. And it, you know, it doesn't, it doesn't have to be, I think sometimes students feel intimidated. Oh, there's so much good writing in the world. Like, you know, where do I even start? But I would say just, just, you know, to borrow a line from Alan Jacobs, read at whim, you know, read, read what strikes you, read what grips you.[00:31:52]and, and, and the more you read, I think it will, it will help your own writing. So, so be a reader. I think it would be the first thing. And, now the flip side of that, the second thing I would say is, I have a lot of students who. Frankly, kind of clutter their essays with quotations from other writers.[00:32:10]Jeff Medders: takes up space for the page count[00:32:12] Wesley Hill: Yeah. Well, exactly, exactly. And, Hey, I'm, I'm an offender myself. I, I, my editors regularly have to trim out quotations from others for me. But, but I would say, you know, don't plagiarize, but also just don't, don't rely on other words to fill out your argument. You know, you try to figure out how to say it in your idiom.[00:32:32] with your voice and you know, certainly pay your, pay your intellectual debts by footnoting the people that you know have influenced you and shaped the argument that you're, that you're writing, but, but try to find your own voice and, and that, that only emerges through practice. You know, you have to write and rewrite and rewrite.[00:32:48] And, so yeah, those are, those are a couple of things that I say to my students that maybe it would be helpful for your listeners too.[00:32:56] Jeff Medders: totally. What are some, some, some of the people that you just love to read? And you mentioned like good reading, good writing. you know, a couple that you can like, man, I love their, I love their writing.[00:33:05] Wesley Hill: Yeah. Yeah. You know, someone I have just admired more and more in recent years is the way that the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, writes for popular audiences. I mean, he's, he's long been known as a, as a very serious academic theologian, but he's published, you know, volume. Sermons recently and just these little books.[00:33:26] He has a little book with urbans called being Christian and a follow up volume called being disciples, and they're so winsome to me because they're, they're obviously built on a lot of research and a lot of deep learning and study and prayer, but he writes so accessibly, like he throws out the academic jargon.[00:33:45] And he just, he just writes like he's sitting across from you at a coffee shop talking with you. And I, I just am kind of in awe of that, you know, as someone who. you know, one of the things that getting a PhD does is it, it, it kind of invites you to write in a very jargony style. and, and for someone who's, who has gone through that kind of training to then be able to say, no, I'm not going to do that.[00:34:05] I'm going to, I'm going to write in a way that's more accessible. It's, it's, it's both like really instructive for me. And it's also really inspiring. another writer who I just hugely, hugely admired just for the, the sheer. A beauty and zest of his sentences is Francis buffer. he's written a great little kind of apologetic for Christianity called, ironically, unapologetic. And he's recently published his first novel, called golden Hill. and he's just an absolute delight to read. So he's, he's a, he's a Christian and the church of England. He, he was an atheist for many years and kind of came back to faith. and he's told me that he's working on some, some more Christian writing, more explicitly Christian writing.[00:34:44] So I'm, I'm really looking forward to seeing what that will be in the years to come.[00:34:48] Jeff Medders: Yeah. Very cool. Well, yeah, listeners, be sure to go to the show notes there and you'll see links to Amazon and you'll find, all of, of, of Wesley Hills books there, the Lord's prayer, Paul and the Trinity, spiritual friendship and more, you'll, you'll find everything there. and Wesley, if people wanted to keep up with you on social media, where would you tell them to go? If[00:35:10] Wesley Hill: Yeah. Yeah. Unfortunately, I'm still hanging out on Twitter. I can't seem to quit it. So, I'm just Wesley[00:35:17] Jeff Medders: Twitter to break up with me first. I need you. I need Twitter to quit me[00:35:20] Wesley Hill: Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. But I try to, you know, if I write something online, I try to post it there so you can find my, my writing and things there. and I also have a little, my own little blog is Wesleyhill.tumblr.com.[00:35:33] Jeff Medders: Thanks so much for coming on the show, man, and just giving your wisdom on writing. It's a really beneficial and I'm really grateful.[00:35:42] Wesley Hill: Well, thanks for having me. I really enjoyed the conversation.[00:35:45] Jeff Medders: Great, and as always, listeners remember, let's just keep writing.

and let's get Eric's favorite part we got to get it officially started God Almighty that's how you officially start the podcast I like old-school radio call-in that start every program with your your call into signed like that much like if you go on workbenches YouTube channel you've got I see the thumbnails have your branding on everything in a similar fashion it's the same thing it just irritates it because it's I let her do it to get you ramped up yeah get me fired alive and have seen he is always good it's a it's a miracle it's a little cheesy it's legit oh yeah it's cheesy for sure it's like a old it's it we soon football it's an old it's an old missing Ole Miss football that they have the hottie toddy I don't I don't know what it means it was in our fraternity we had some kind of chant like that just my opinion on its pleasant change yeah I know I'm not hoping or if anything all those reasons are just making it better for pay out I'll switch if I can find some better just like we talk about writing copy or brand name like companies and name a lot of friends and stuff I got a lady you got me at my jokes in the room it's a 7/10 you gotta beat it in the in the writers room what's going on I'm glad you're on the podcast it's a little hectic throw out this you that everything is throw out all your your handles for for the people Instagram all that stuff usually workbench TV I think on Instagram were no twitters workbench_TV because there's some weird Canadian like workbench DIY program that's got that yet and when you search for the workbench are getting a lot of workbench tutorials how to make a workbench, then silly little dancer putting my graphic designer put in animation tutorial now you want tutorial though it is graphic design animation motion okay it's want to clarify everything Eric did a lot of research before names I told him I intentionally don't do research so I can ask the questions of people when we actually do that on purpose because with Alexa just because he's lazy we will follow me, shut it gave me hope it can be both work well for both suit and tell me about a wide you started what is it you know give me the who what when where why all that well first I was having, slow year click two years ago my main business builder party so would you like graphics animation production all the stuff and so I was like you know it is time to come to share some of my knowledge the people himself I wanted to like a long time ago there's like some people to restart noun is like a man I could do that you know you have and just at the time is like I didn't have the time to do it and that just wasn't the right time I guess for it and there's all this like beginner stuff that didn't exist when I'd started so, what I wanted to do but then all of the market, filled up and do that so I figured I just start to make more advanced tutorials that for the stuff that I'd want to see that was another interesting it's like the Tyco's telling Damien something about they should be doing a podcast similar to this is nothing like two years ago I was telling yeah more as a recruiting tool I think to get younger people to follow over and then you can maybe you develop a relationship with some of these people that are into it but that's that's interesting how that kind of parallel thinking happened and were not even what 7 miles away were your in South Tampa right will assimilate no head of the murder of the murder capital your my hood yeah that's what I was just pitching about trying to sell our house and buy a new one contingent on a stone house that serial killer just the light went on your day 35 grand on the house price so that you will yeah I mean obviously it sucks but it's also kind of interesting way it's like here like Ford motors the news and like that's like not even a weekend in Chicago I'll try to keep a rant pretty quick but but I did journalism this twofold why this was a disaster of an investigation a the the churlish function should be they should be ashamed of themselves they should be flocking there should be some kind of punishment for them for sensationalizing this made it five times worse than it needed to be they called a serial killer before it is technically a serial killer I think I need is a take three I think thickly three I think I got back I go with the major league and the hum of the the speech is all going okay right three that's a winning streak or a heart attack that's my role at least and it was just at when they had to kills it was just a bus stop that was similar that was it to so you really move around MO yet there's no end there is no like he left the pentagram is yet you have all the fun puzzles and things that they normally leave around for the cops just to do that's a sociopath I bet he was on pipette there's some pharmaceutical involvement I think I bet opiates because that does change your brain chemistry anyway were getting down to a sloppy road the other part of that is PR will this all will come back and into the fold PR date the Police Department dictated this message so poorly that they just kept leaving it open ended like they wanted to write a TV show on it like they were like the truth either this guy on video he's he's either doing a job he's either Jazzercise and through the neighborhood like gave this like ridiculous in areas like or use a similar white skin is like why did you do press conference of this like this makes no sense real quick I just think that your audience is probably China figure at this moment how drugs opiates and graphic design are all gonna come back together that's the magic of me all dovetail back because my eyebrow went straight up like Dragon like what good your voice of the people today that so as to do dictating your message right I think chosen a good job of that type I went through and all I went back in your catalog before he started his I want to see what it looked like in the beginning you channel the reason we start talking is like you did a humble pride post like hey we get 10,000 subscribers on site ownership I his armor looking out a while ago and knows that this is really cool I on the fly have to do a lot of graphic design stuff like smaller stuff so I can send it to a good designer like and you are Damien really do it I'll get the concept down but sometimes I said I need tutorials and you can burn funk and hours trying to find like a good stuff and know it's learning how to do some more reading about earlier today the just how to take a logo make a white me like I have is like I was trying to do this for a while and then I looked it was like a minute video as I just change that utilized the site that is it in Photoshop okay media that's what is yeah said you'll never make it at the end. But so it dovetails back is your your your creating a brand through this on a passion project not too dissimilar from what were trying to do with this podcast a little bit were you know we don't know what's in a come of it we'd like should initiate and talk a little business gazettes mainly were any if I went to a dinner party the conversation would somehow get over there anyway which my wife hates but somehow yet your business is life that will mean it's in a lot of it's a small medium business that's life no for a lot of business owner Damien over there look it's it consumes everything his wife's business owner to it's it's a lot in your conversation because sometimes you can come and go help oh you should be doing this this and this is his wife the bad stylus jingo oh you should do you with the shellac nails you should get some Moroccan oil put in the hair yeah I know my hair stuff good her words meant that I was in the salon industry man I know about you want to start slowing off talking I'll rip that ship how did I know price per square foot I know any chairs you need I know the commission rates all that ship you should put a runway in their red carpet so after they're done you look in your eye right now I'm excited to start here decided what that Ceará will try to record the safety and this is interprofessional now we know as I was attempting Internet database yet and it's bad love aggregates artifacting and freezing so there sometimes at your max and drumming out for the lands headroom the show for everybody who is not born after 1990 something to do that hacked into the TV station was that no Max Headroom is I don't know what it is like the Nobel Pepsi commercial guy like accent room that was that roof that yeah they did there was something that that you guys look like Chicago yes somebody like contacting the local TV stand here but there was a mass I got SSRI so yes you got pretty much right there looks okay on the prowl for knowing that random reason hello good underwriters distributes up parcels of the will they also admit Noblesville spoofed it in back to the future when the Ronald Reagan got up and like I run away and they did the whole little thing when we first goes into the future Café I to retro Café yeah, some random kid in there I think assault not too long ago the thing with Elijah when Elijah wasn't out yet and had the arcade ghetto yeah we're having your hands yeah that's the fun part I like watching old movies over again is really out hey that's that guy that I know forgot about. He made it will happen the guy next to him that he didn't suck Kirsten Dunst and Jumanji the day about 10 years whatever it is we know the old and the kanji will swear to say we'll just see the new one they just shrug her down I fulfill I will was cheaper to buy on Amazon for the kids want the original data bungee things like how I got it is what I like a lot in it yeah yeah whatever is not to give up because while it is when the like where's the rock I heard one of the Kevin Hart I heard it's really good actually it is is it you saw kids note no need for kids to watch but herself has caring community, is that redhead from a Doctor Who and also plays Gomorrah and battles of cardiology or some parties I guess she's the blue haired blue chick in guarding the value of the really like the sister nebula sorry nebulae yeah yeah that's it that's conflicted Gavin, hot redhead I'm not into redhead sorry I decide not to ginger kinda guy no fence so my thing, I'm too pale or too dark something about and I hear you if you talk too much so that's what character can't say to the dark why is it just to play it safe I say to paling is that you Darnell you can't that's legal is able to kill I thought this is not telling you I know what I find my wiener gets a Boner for certain things like open you up here right this is not a PC show by any means so and I'm not anything terrible I don't say I'm hating anybody just the wiener wants with the wind once it's okay can you be more click here if you're in the DVD AA like that's your yesterday Outlook might might my wife is ill or find me trying to double in my wife is her, she's like some light bright and damn near white so I don't know what I thought about her hellos and then some. BII can't learn all these acronyms and what you're talking about is a real test for one and were shoehorning here to talk about Dixon balls for 15 minutes now that I thought of it like that with you Dick and balls that he instinctively meals back-and-forth that we will try to edit this psychologist Dick and balls in business that duplicates the goal and maybe a spinoff it works for me like member shoehorning this Internet and a very hectic day Eric's a little stressed as a my is finding serenity that's my nonstress time yeah this is the fight this is gone silly topics yeah that's what we have yoga mats and ship over there and I want to get a funky punching bag thank you we can hang one thing let me think yes anymore Justice just bagged 30 seconds just if I can punch something I thought I think it be cathartic to a definite yes drive-by punch what you got all that stuff is just one Pam okay I feel better now that you like a speed bag and it was good closer it got hit on a nice thought of that those are so noisy it's true that these guys next to a city record will I can hear light them on a conference call behind us so it's you know the walls are thin already use that glass to the wall technique Yahoo that there can hear everything I just take a ceiling tile and Dragon leave eight trying to take all day son all day will do that with this I I have a couple pointers like that that it wrote down Wells Fargo not currently sponsored by Dragon dictate I'm in love Dragon dictate I've got no qualms about it there not a sponsor we just want to give out good things that are good you know good things that are good yeah it makes a wedding but it works good with use mu.com is reporting stuff that's a good thing that's good man log got all his own pilot that I write you down for the next day you really think so don't worry I will be in the show notes in the blog post I forget to put up Jonah 2 yeah I know one thing when asked about we just a tinfoil hat podcast which is conspiracy theory podcast Assam Tripoli the Gotland listeners but also like crazy listeners and Eric and I've been looking through the comments independent of each other talking about it we both went through all floors and ice just got forward one night start answering a bunch of find him and I was looking at yours and theirs so me people whining about like this is to know can you slow it down it's like beachfront composite like pause the video it's in the video tutorial positive actually had some people tell me before like a long time and I like one commenter lowers like that that YouTube is a feature really slow down the video I was disabled I do have speed summary three was likely a watch of it is only capturing the mounding of native English speakers ligaments address you can write something like the next slick person that said that to me obviously just like that we could watch and we have to be you podcast it has to be nobody sounds like I do not accident a lot like that but no pill what I'm I'm talking more one I hope yeah what have is that there was a loud ITS wrong how might this pleases inkwell is that purple drink what's the weirdest thing that's come out of you doing this you been doing for two years passion project side project kinda like I am guessing it's similar because we did this because it's like I got some to say about I got all this information I feel like and I like I like giving advice to people that don't ask for credit but I also like interviewing people right like heaven old buddies come in industries initiate what's what's we're think about it comments or weird messages are you know any that I think that's interesting that you come around the world people are using it which is I saw you had some kind of French translation may be on one of them oh that there was a guy that had done it to tour… Were Willie did it before I did I didn't know existed some bills told me about it so was in French so thankfully had taken some French I was able to figure out what he did 09 there's a better version of something I did so I incorporate that into the download for no I think that's cool I mean we talk about you know a lot of the stuff are doing like, Jesus did like the universal language or saying anything so work or start to think of everything in the context of life right how can we make a little bit more global it's not a much more effort you know but you're at your tutorials you don't really need the audio right sometimes you do but it's harder I'd say probably only because I don't do step-by-step so I can escape a lot of things if you're not in aftereffects user like like a beginner's like I really get all of the things I'm doing usually yeah but in its and is a narrow audience on yeah if you're if you're advanced enough you could probably pick up some stuff sometimes I don't really explain what things are exactly like a minute settings guide I hate when people just while circular all the time I get like reels from people or whatever different ways that worked and it's like okay like I copied a tutorial like I did this like he doesn't know what he is doing disease is not taking the thing in advancing it is just taking something with wheels did in presenting that it in a different way that the zoning assigned something so everybody have all like this you guys have to collaborate so much with other video production companies animation Studios whatever so you when you're getting a file all the default settings are all wacky or they have a way of doing stuff isn't notices its world people present in the work like the stuff that I see from people like you can pick out if you've seen like there's a huge guide video copilot Andrew Kramer he does like these just crazy tutorials only in you see his stuff and people real-time like this is this likely presented to like it is my work on it no that's not yours you know they are doing the tutorial and then think about it and what the rent because they technically did it place I used to work at where the creative director was asking us I mean this happens everywhere I've seen other people tell the same story but basically Craig Dir. comes in is okay we just think of these these people you looking to hire somebody and then it's like well that's an inter-grammar tutorial so and it soon as that happened in the in the Place I was at initially took the DVD's of that long ago of the computer and just throw trash like that is immediately is like no well he sent whelming to the Google reversed something searched I know that was another I know that prevalent like I figured like I figured like the stand-up comedy community were like if you steal jokes basically what that like a child will not exactly stolen like it's like if somebody well I mean I guess in common it's a little different because in comedy the punch line is always the portal and there's not really like however you'd tell it it changing what it's knowing that it's it's it's a very similar because you can have a premise right that is only unique to that person right that's how a lot of these guys get caught one thing is what people think is that they can go off and tell the joke differently and that that's a different thing right but so it is the same but I'm saying it's same and different yeah and calmly they get way more like shut down on doing and in our world it's more like older, did something a little different than that you know it's it's knock down yeah little bit it's all because you have to you your iterations count and yours were czars are just like you just building to something where there are whiffs of tartar comics you know you you're working on a bit to make it tight where is Joel's final thing if you like the graphic designer for lack of a better term like graphic design community they they like seeing the iterations in the process allow the touch her right the flip if I can chime in one of the main thing especially if the just a little advice anybody out there who is doing things that they know they have Andrew Kramer or whatever other tutorials out there you're more than welcome to take that material learned from it do it and then do something as simple as go and shoot your own footage and do the same affect on your own footage and lease that shows that you an instant how to apply the effect and I think that that's when the main things that I specimen graphic designers come and play it's almost similar as someone you know what happens in music and as you have is a lot of industry people in music and she liked it might be McNally actually got like five samples and three loops that already came with the package you didn't really create anything unique you may have rearranged a slightly different but yet totally understand what that means is mean and that's and it's a it happens most special and new budding graphic artist they they that's their education they know they get it from from online and they start hot expand upon and I think that's one of the bigger things that I think on that it's overlooked even Andrew Kramer and yourselves on strong workbench always pushing people to go I go take this and apply to your project at least let me see it in an application as opposed to just being quite literally it's the exact same effect that's partly to why I'll get some complaints were once lowered some is like okay you show me from the beginning or what did you do for this waiver unless a click of a really important setting American go often and say yeah okay the setting is 50 for this in 20 for that because then you're not learning how to use it and the point is to take what I make and expand upon it that's kind like us to watch tutorials nowadays like some else comes up something interesting even if it's something I know like a lot of times if I have some down time I watch it because sometimes I'll pick up a little piece of something that they didn't like I didn't even do that were in a like whatever like because even if you're the meekest person you know you still have some no insight in the shirt or something sure no I died I think that's what YouTube is really great for is I that we learn we have to use all the time because it's stay here will they know and we handle so many different services you know so it's like it's yes there is regular green fire you didn't know like you know what you would've heard outside of work and stuff like your at your house like oh okay this like peace in my toilet broke what do I do to fix that and some is like hey here's this exact model of toilet this is the handle that nicotine elixirs like we manage the stuff that we may sketch were very proud about that we didn't put much behind it but we made a sketch like how to be a man sketch toilet because we grew up in this era were like were not handy and definitely and almost embarrassingly have to look up how like how to properly spell your dad or something will you try it first and you break everything and then go back how to feel that you were slightly taken apart and you break the thing that you need you like oh now I know how this works but it's broken every time and then yeah wife pitches at you in this like an okay I won't buy a new one but liked on the figure this out (about what does it mean Adobe After Effects seems like it's like limitless units potential for manipulation sort of thing and Eric actually Eric's videoconference my ex-wife just to give an ex-wife really don't have fever and ex-wife chose man I got Jesus Christ lately ever life will relive IK wow not look I was looking at your site Joe and I looked at the blog and it was like literally the first sentence I'm lost I can't like I thought about looking in the video graphic design stuff and then it was like five minutes and I was like no I can't do this is this is a lament different there there are some simple stuff that that last post is actually kind of comforted okay no known stones pretty computer at a time on number format yeah things okay okay looks really because for some reason I don't know why saw a lot of stuff I do like programming related and as I used to do some of that and what's what's annoyed me about aftereffect sometimes there sometimes like functions in it that you need that you don't have the better like a single function in another language like number format like PHP which is that some bad a lot of stuff in it's like number format this number you go in it is outlining a number with buildings in it yet although Prelude met here you'd like at least as far as I know maybe it's in there somewhere I don't know but like I had actually reverse engineer how to build that junction was on St. like even you you're making these videos you know what you're doing and you have to go reverse engineer Samuel sometimes I have to learn stuff and some you know like other times there's people way smarter than me that figure out things to yeah yeah problem-solving at the end of the day it's it it's really a similar process am sure to for figuring out any difficult process problem whatever that's why life like trying to do stuff that's outside my zone to help that problem so as as you grow to yeah because it all go okay watching this tutorial on how to do grout for my tile actually what subconsciously helps me figure out how to use software in reverse engineer from there or apply I need that grout fresh fresh and flush against the tile just like we need this design to be flush just you know for whatever reason it will help me contextualize a lot and want to learn it as a man you'll throw that info out as soon as you can know God yes now I grab you guys especially to some other guy is just as many of the applicant been an expert in it oh yeah I own a trial business for last year hashtag that God did all day yeah now if I more if I'm doing the middle the night I'm just by myself like just listen to podcasts just like this Friday night when doing more hundred percent on the posted lightly what I do you guys suggest feels like that old little Simpson joker were like Marge's learning piano just like it just teaching piano 2 inches like I said that they wanted 11 lesson ahead of the kids basically like what is I feel like that's a lot of a lot of management nowadays just because were to spread out just, everything so segmented fragmented out from a management standpoint discussed the Internet box with everybody's head there's too much school stuff out trying to think of the worst a recorded voice and I said I lost applying as live video interrupted that's fine whatever the reason I'm going to yeah that's what the producer does sit here and inform you of the situation will we may have one coming up later following her over there. You write it only to close over there like putting together yeah the tubes are it's me know it's not a will and do it I understand I'm I'm in the process of trying to get it to the point we get used to having this kind of a situation on the backend because I would love for this Texaco no ocean here behind the classroom went to the roof to have the talent just me on how we piping in your earphones always like yeah Robert quivers out further like they're doing that thing are you just part echoing what he said but just like a live fraction of a second later so messily break their people audiences love that audiences love the audio that Don is a doubles okay get my children but all in all that's that's the worst in Prague a Mother's Day gift or gift if the copy the person right in front of you it's like a warm-up game and my this is this is the worst okay yeah that's what kids do the focal me yeah this did not touch you yeah putting it free country brought Jeffrey country free country that means on the deck he said it's a free country never push you yeah anything about that free country pitch right to bear arms my power arms whether or not I will yard and drumming is working on that how I was going for the dead pine thousand and although I was just trying to get all the way to bear arms basically I said I queued up for five minutes oh yeah oh yeah I got an offer one day the full circle with all the others are talking live earlier should do my daily diary touch back to it as you have wakes up and set beforehand like your you to say it oh well like way way before you worry in this weird phrase and see if I can sell it won't last year my New Year's resolution was to say Kirsty more and so I think I've done a good job and it's in the lexicon outside of the poor said that like three or four times a been here in a good because it's now it's woven into my vernacular it is the Meebo was named earthy yeah yeah you need to name it something so why not maybe together looks like McCarthy it does I cancel the slogan for this podcast should be good with the advice I think but I think you get a totally different audience sweat equity well after the pragmatic but pragmatic girth he advises that case went by the movie so what tell us what tell us about the industry what's going on how about this habit give advice 10 years younger you that wanted to get into this time travel give advice yourself for you or you just taught given advice to classrooms read really start learn is the start of the environmental I've probably stolen from somebody am sure but now it's it's parallel theory like Seth Godin noon ship and or was really a look at things just start now we don't listen we don't listen to those those Silicon Valley anticancer types that are those higher up business guys that's why we created this actually one like anti-Tim Ferris here so your maybe you can't like it everything you one like for exactly that's about it seriously a decent anointment it also goes or I listen to all the software podcasting to be like or I just get like seven of your friends that are billionaires then you sit know why commentator conference room and wrote a book on how to manage her $80,000 a month pharmaceutical business yeah thanks for the advice Tim swing five people's likelihood is make a product yeah okay which one tell me so this that's why I go so specific and like mu.com reference or some like that because there is it it sounds jilted sometimes but it it it I heard Colin Quinn say's specificity is the language of the universal wrote that down and remembered it I really like that because I feel like my the way I look at comedy and a lot of the communication and language I try to be overly specific unnecessarily because it's kind of funny or sometimes but I do that sometimes even workbench doctors yeah yeah it's fun what so just start now you have the motivation to do it my my first thing I know I know nothing about how to start to want to be this kind of artist I would say I tried to find like a Mashable class or something get that bait Linda Gladden limit as far as I can as a prism I'm thinking I'm thinking of when I was when I had this mindset to do workbench stuff right I was like I was Artie kind of in it and I'm thinking like the time is whenever you have it in the lake it's now right right yeah it's an appendage to what you're doing already like this podcast is timing cost-effective and it's a good way to get her voice out and literally don't have to spend that many hours a week or so it's not and it's fine so it's not that bad and I'm sure when you start seeing results of people, subscribing that's when it kind of felt fun you know effluent is the first part of doing like some kind of like content strategy like this even if it's not like focused on making money anything it it's that thing of like your print out there for a while lit and unless you have a big budget to put add money or some it's just to be like I am sending us 100 views that are under a message in a bottle for me to do with how it is I started as I started action video instead of YouTube so I started putting stuff up on there and I'm like very cool and it actually got a decent amount of use I know what the deal is with that but just didn't feel like the right type of place I've made a suggestion to go to me I was acting as an Internet for me on the hooves man they just bought that camera company live stream mix bottom out they want to be the third player now and is Facebook's down number two I think video rights which might be three I don't know but as far as like like not watching video games video some places blows my mind that it could be threatened if I can blows my life that is fine. It's insane kids these days that they're actually good about people doing leave and start unit is random stuff and which like all sorts of stuff like I said I have these very very Blake takes on different things and YouTube and like you know if a 3YI like when I went to censor yourself you will hear psychotic artist to its anatomy and I mean like a wimp or hoax everyone yeah me that all porn set yeah okay everything is nothing here that I was kind yeah that's in a separate graphic video right here in your normal everyday you know what are your you're like nine you know yeah yeah whatever yeah so that's what else is on twitch there's a there's people like I watched the granted I don't want to let stuff on twitch by know they have switch usually watching on YouTube because I'm older I guess I will and I'm not there at like 6 o'clock when people doing things like you do that I watch that does he make things this child hold I like to make stuff so he does switch dreams and stuff and then there's a guy that does like these prop making things like reprints and phone stuff and that's punish props and he does stuff on there as well though at times catch people's live stream stuff later on but I'm not on twitch watching it but it's a content that was generated therein so you go on YouTube to go to twitch one I'm usually usually people posting a shortened version of it let Mrs. know I'm scribbling literally hours I don't usually have three hours worth the time to yet we but we will sit there and we were trying to figure out a process to there's I think I will be asked if we start using that as a live broadcasting software we like that the Meebo camera supposed to be able to get you on a few streams at a time but they have some weird thing were like you can either do Facebook live only or you can do YouTube and and for me at the same time and so it's like okay but you know ideally you want to have the video up on all three I say but nobody like do not take checking YouTube and DiMeo like to check Facebook so going live on Facebook makes we don't sense but remember we just a tinfoil hat and they get us in every time like I subscribed a workbench their channel every time you post the video I get an email notification right under the Rome open accidentally you're in you're more like this easily on Facebook more people you check that will always me taking were not going on for me oh to see what's new on mimeo for me as a profession where it makes sense for that it makes sense for I know the half of what we talked about as a hard very unlimited in the way it was like I feel like that's for finished work that's like how it feels but maybe that's all you survey it has to be like cures like real professional video they are naturally separate themselves from my main business stuff is like my main actual company workers on their W a means I would if I'm right now playing armchair quarterback I'd say just make just take everything you've done on that channel and just uploaded to mimeo and it's all good with the keywords and all that stuff all that stuff helps in the e-learning thing is really what they're focusing on so like premium premium subscription model stuff that happens that that like a FC that come along that I don't want people have to like pay for things unless it's specific like is there a subscription that people can just like sign up to look at YouTube rather than go to Freeman the freemium strategy which is a lot of apps do it right so you you get a nap it's free but like to really use it you gotta pay for box or whatever it is it hey it's the same thing the podcast or starting your concern see that a lot more Sam Tripoli was telling us he does bonus content and then for anybody that does patriot on donations which I guess is I saw a PayPal button on yours yet I could have paid his patrons way better now for one reason that such a good think of do as I feel like sometimes my patron I struggle actually like get like the word tears and stuff done just just because a lot of times Kleinwort comes in and then I have to do that yeah I mean I told John Jacobs who was on tinfoil podcast just had a album come out I was like look you want organic an organic strategy it's a little corny but you should anybody buys your album and they screenshot it send it to you should freestyle the name on my Facebook live people love that and they would share it it would get the help on that on their in is not doing what you know comedian I didn't follow through his own doubts deftly done to look like that, like wind over the old spice was doing the the old spice guy was like showing out people like 10 years ago but oh yeah, that if you like you can tweet to my thing at a time and like everyone so I like you they pick somebody and they had him dutifully 24 hours me like that like customize videos toward little pieces it's it's okay could you do this in the whatever production team I don't know they must have liked some just a team stuff oh yeah he was that they like pop it out like immediately oh that pride was the program when I was like people like had specific supplicating to do a video would like a toothbrush in a workmanlike like a 24 hour film fest but it was like only a guy in Terry Cruz knows the Isaiah Mustapha order when you know the other guys after right is right I told him to get rid of commitment I know I'm with you I should to double back in? This is like what I guess try to think which way to go with this what you want to do with this like what you what are you getting out of having this channel I think I I would see that is like you can look at it like a freemium model like like you're doing right eventually you're gonna want to try to get something financially out of it may be direct or indirect is that'll make it better yeah I mean so right now I kind of it's kind of somewhat of a vehicle for other things I have like it like the products inscriptions in the cell and molecular stuff but at the same time a muscle thinking of doing more like specific tutorial play groupings so where is right now making all the tutorials and I'm never to stop doing those free leases far as I can right now but those will always be there you know but the other something of like an actual like a tutorial series or some like that where it actually I can sell that as a unit yeah that's way single tutorial probably not get sold but I mean Jill one specific thing with 10 different managers showing everything they need to know is it so there goes all those anymore I ran those be more from the ground up versus my normal like here's the thing we have to either later this I do and that's it you know little bit more basic stuff you talk about what had not even that exactly basic but like I say it with one of the one something of doing his expression tutorial or expression series and I'm thinking of doing that to where we start from the beginning and it goes in a more like programming in depth like here's what you would do this and whatever you know versus like hey this is cool affect saga expression as this is like a snippet of code and aftereffects that you can use it to like run other things basically like to thank you for telling love with you like Eric got it the only link things together or dynamiting bitcoin what I wish I've missed out on that pretty heavily it's kind of like you can take some have liked for controls of you can bring up your own control to control multiple layers of different things there really powerful you do a lot of stuff with it that's kind of convert topic to actually specifically explain and like one now how do better under five cents IR Inc. in your elevator and yeah write it up yet what I mean that's why we this is the podcasts good you can kinda take the time to explain something that's a little confusing that's why you're doing these videos it's it's hard to I we do video for almost everything now like I don't want to do any phone calls with clients because this is so much visual stuff and it's like now now let's do phone I'll go now let's just reschedule it because it's not you can try to explain to me like guess some things in the talking like this create a ruling, is to help you, Howdy pixels we talk about the early pixels right well you know never that, that's the measurement you use pocket pocket five it is these things up there on what you like to now turn on speaking of in the camera like so I also production stuff and having having those around my house is great but then I'm watching the dictatorial and like color grading and that she's talking to me like what you talking I like the this morning I was watching something about collaborating in and she's like okay so were to repair this thing like prepare what are you talking about I turn mine off yeah it's it's hard my kids see the file, change the names of the notes I can think of something else like Beyoncé my uncle had ever detached his door from it because people if you can eat if you are outside you said open deluxe open Gloriana jet open a door ceiling again, and detach the snow yet he has his whole house Morehouse hooked up to the Lexan problem was that he was a humongous queue society like let's open the door and open the door from the thought of Isaac this is not good now you baby girl it's been well hey baby girl.you doing about I can't believe it took this long to get keyless entry door houses like what we had our car for 15 years I said I go for the stupid metal key in my house, I agree right but always late and I think always get the one like we've got technologies in a failure at some point so get the analog, you can always put the key and if you need to that we have a thumbprint one fingerprint one and I'm like this thing to break I want something that hasn't punch code I thought finger print and then also an addict glory hole for your key because that's my theory with all like that, smart home stuff if I can't turn on the lights physically that I don't want to have a yeah my app to do it. Let's carry I could I feel like I have bad luck with a lot of stuff to do and it'll break down and the moment you need it the most have had that happen to me a couple times were used have a wink that was controlling stuff. It's a hub okay it's like all the other that she went had Home Depot to get like loud laugh I do since then live in Like that I'll actually have since been able to put that into my Phillips you set up which is nice that works like instantly and great but the week one would like fail at random times and latency for the morning like a camera to go to sleep a good turn off lights and it just doesn't yeah like okay great I like the power goes off and for some reason it set to automatically like turn them on slick power is off you I do like I do like this I use I have TTT for a lot of that and I do we have the Phillips you in our place for a few lights and I like I like that it will turn the lights red if there's like a smoke detector goes off were there or something like that you take in warmth or chicken gas station chicken warm bread whatever fried chicken we have laying around it interests automatically turn to that that this martyrdom stuff scares me that it's kind of why we I don't have one of the any of the voice activated things at her house I'm fine with that here is God knows what she thinks we talk about in this room when the vice will verify the calyx profile please yeah know they got a dossier on is what I mean they can't really advertise to us because it's so were so random over the paragraph and I don't think they did like in one sentence will talk about Lexi sleep that what is sensory deprivation tank and like great cubes you know that's going to call that guy's attached is a business that is how far we in here what's the minute count for producer think we gotta wrap it up in the minutes or something here that tells you that Jesus go to the letter sounds like you're done and I think we started at, 20 I think were 45 ends up 40 minutes boom I found it any advice just made that up like that fixed it if you any advice you want to give out there anything short you want to throw out there that I didn't pre-ask you what you want to talk about like a good host would anything in your industry any or reduce pitch about some if you want me like I said before tubes copying people that's a big thing you know I feel like there's a lot of people that just some kids like it because my wife the teacher right so a lot of times the the there is the you get like the two groups I feel like now there's like kids that really want to learn something in there like driven to you know do whatever and then you are, I guess is probably true of all generations but in whatever way I see now being old 34-year-old so if your you have these other people that basically want to been given to them now like and if I feel it's a little bit more than when I was a kid probably because when I was a kid he had let go to an encyclopedia or you know whatever the lake gets information and now it's just like people just like old you didn't tell me exactly how to do it you know and and I've that's kind of what my tutorials are kind of geared to not do look, I want to know the reason though because I think it's frustrating to double back when you're in the middle of that right now the reason is that you learn one way and the other way you don't learn like if you you either learn how to get information or you learn how to like figure out how to get information so you think the speed that common I saw was like why can't you tell might slow it down and no break everything down you think more Darwinism like that's just half sometimes as people are people that are learning in on their there just new to it they don't understand the people that leave comments now is the final test this I don't know the board laying out three comments on YouTube his comments on YouTube narcissistic I had to read the ones were never on arms at every site I think a reply to pretty much everybody I replied nicely and the guy the try to accuse me of actually like stealing some else's tutorial or something 1000 interesting where is basically just like okay so people can have the same idea that's not loud apparently and I'm supposed to know what everybody else in the tutorial spaces that were occasionally has some data set this is my reply was like okay will assuming I stole this one what about the other like 70 done at that time right what about that that the other guy 70 guys like was like people commenting on when I did like 60 back or something like what okay they probably saw one the copied of you that I think you got it okay yeah I've had comedian still my material and I don't there's not much you can do about it except confront them but usually I they die out anyway yeah and I don't I'm not worried about it and now lives I've seen people that are basically like within a few days posted to the world that similar to mine is different enough or whatever but I'm like I don't care yeah yeah it's funny to read their comment silicone man you're the only person on YouTube doing the stuff it's like that's funny because I get that sink in a comment like Virgo that we had people accusing us or throwing up illuminati gang signs during the podcast address like that the likely like that I don't know I don't know really what I was reading a lot of the stuff left will follow to us, like I'm not big on social justice stuff obviously got really a thing whatever but anyway yeah one thing is really feeling all right one thing is funny is that you said you see the thing if you were doing this like okay oh will do everything under the now everything I know it looks like wipeout like they like so some of the people that were like in this thing we visited a watch on YouTube is his name is that somehow it all okay humble some black eye and a couple other people like any work you really did like this like dealer's like the slick white power thing is like a joke you know like and but they got it like actually get news on it like you were calling this like some kind of whites only making the symbol the index after the other three fingers up yeah you don't want to lick you the okay dive symbol you know like that okay Moji just turns out that yeah the other for the penal perfect whatever but I thought you're going to go on the one is the game that came back from our middle school early high school days is you can take the okay you put it on your thigh whatever Melissa has people your bell ever if someone looks at it get to punch in the stupid ship I never initially combine that together it's dark back like Smirnov whatever the kneeling Smirnov nice that I went back to its back than the national championship photo of Alabama one guy was for the players is doing it which is where ever he that's like an 18-year-old kid doesn't know at school if all right dad I think it's funny there's a people doing it I don't have a type of super professional meeting at the White House meeting people there to have fun it that I mean it's funny but you know all I fall is like 50 or barstool sports like Friday old room science Yep again I got a question so how do you manage expectations for some of the new artist that you meet as far as getting into the industry I don't think it's really think people have a lot of like doom and gloom unlike other semi people doing it whatever but there's not so many good people so like a lot of times that I am trying to get in I get I get a lot of work coming in and then I have nobody to farm it to know because a lot of times it's just there's nobody good around you know you just have to be like like hone your skills don't just say oh well I don't use aftereffect so here you go you know like you can't really have the idea that people should just be giving you money you know and in you just have to kind of like just like learners that you know you cannot sit there and after effects and like yeah or wherever programmer using phenolics and their actually actively learning and experimenting and that you're not really gonna grow to the level that you working late you know get extra work and stuff you know because otherwise you're just doing whatever belts does so you're just taking that basil yeah you know it's obvious it's a prerequisite that you know this program in order to make stuff but you need to like work on it more in order to learn things about it have talent you deftly need talent yeah I mean yeah I have an eye for the best person is or talented enough you there's nothing I'm on called the mow grass like whatever it's hashtag motion design.com and that's there's a lot of like people hanging out in there and sharing knowledge about different things and I feel like I've got a lot of stuff no just from them and just you know people have liked met online you know it okay want to do this work and sometimes even people send me an idea for tutorial that way okay I don't do tutorials but you and I can do whatever and I shot a mountain I can assure what they have so I think I think you need to get I saw that you've added yourself in the beginning of as intro I think Geico picture-in-picture have your your you countries to shot you are doing it sure, then I get that I get the problem of well I do like cuts because I'm try to keep them short so that was my other goal when I first heard it was like really keeping him shortly I got tired of twirl that like 40 minutes long in the show like the same thing also in three minutes notes like Goldmine the cuts are thinking on the front they understand that your skip and I'm saying I ran inside should you do picture-in-picture and have you in the time a tiny box of bottom just so they don't know gastric almost branding yourself a little bit in a way you couldn't and I don't have to record yourself at the exact same time searching her cut down there again when you're just doing a voiceover you sure you could but mean you can do OB we started doing it with the how to tutorials we do website for someone which would shoot like seven of those and will I want to mess around with that OBS picture-in-picture thing so that our thing is we want to show them there's a human behind this living I did and it didn't intro that's what started doing I think you can intro but I might actually do a little like a cutaway because that might be a little easier for me to shoehorn into the way I do everything that's kind of how I'm planning on doing that one series is a guy who's watermark your face at the thought of the bug cut out yeah that IBM gets the job whatever it is I think I think you are workbench workbenches you kind of thing now but is that things like you may develop something a couple years down the line that you are expert for this intermediate to advanced area sure they work. People may want to book you workbench we have a we talked about with this like there's opportunities for us to do business kinda commie business stuff I we got a role or producer showing cue cards it says 57+ we got we got a lot about you a lot a bunch a lot a bunch of work to do picture coming on and anything else you know Damon now Matt is fun bossing your mouth back here I like I like having you as the produce. Yeah and I is inviting whiteboard and now as put in a request for whiteboards and sharpies and so will have and will have the display screen you see that professionalism here that audio jack going yeah yeah

After months of planning, scheming, and rescheduling, I was finally able to record a podcast with Josh Howard. We had a few items to talk about, starting with the closing of his local R/C racetrack and we rounded things out with a chat about ways to achieve a matte finish on a Lexan body (without risking scrapes and scratches). All told, it was a fun episode to record and I have a feeling we'll be scheduling a few more of these sessions in the future. Enjoy!
