Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please go to TheJewelryJourney.com. Today, my guest is Jennifer Cullen of Four Winds Gallery, an unusual jewelry gallery located in Double Bay, Australia. Welcome back.    What about coral? You have the reefs there, and there's a lot of coral in Indian work, but I hear it's becoming very hard to find now.   Jennifer: We have no coral in Australia to work with. It's protected, and we have a lot of trouble with—what is it? The crown-of-thorns starfish. They're doing a lot about coral beds on the northeast coast of Australia, with all that big, beautiful coral. They're doing a lot to maintain that at the moment. All the coal that has been historically worked into North American Indian jewelry was traded in by the Spanish originally, so it's all Mediterranean coral. The earliest coral strands in the 1800s were drilled and rolled strands of beads that they would wear around the neck with cotton sinew or twill, or whatever was strung through the center of it. And there were webs of coral. They would wear ropes of heishi done in clamshell. Later on, as they got better equipment, there was turquoise heishi and jet heishi. Heishi is the traditional word for a handmade, small bead.    Originally the coral was traded. The Native American groups loved the color. They had previously found their ability with color by working with the spiny oyster shell that comes out of the Gulf of Mexico. The spiny oyster shell comes in colors from reds similar to coral into purple and intense orange, like an Hermès orange. It's a beautiful color. I actually have a lot in my jewelry because I love it. I sell a lot of it here, and I wear a lot of it. I love the orange. I've always had a passion for these oranges and reds and purples. People in the Southwest embraced it pretty rapidly and started to incorporate it into their jewelry findings and body adornment. So, in the 1800s, it was works of coral predominantly.    Then they started to learn how to work silver. That didn't start until about 1868. Prior to 1868, there was very little in silver. They actually started by heating up copper and brass cooking utensils. They were soft materials that were exposed to them by the soldiers and the Spanish and the Mexicans, and they'd make it into jewelry findings and body adornment. Then they discovered silver, which is found in the Southwest of the USA, and they started to make that into metal findings to house the stones. That was the process.    When chatting at length with another one of my mentors, Lori Phillips, she used to talk to me a lot about the development of American Indian jewelry, history and development. She was a big dealer and collected from Pasadena in California back in the day. I was very close friends with her. Anyway, she taught me a lot. They started setting coral into silver vessels and housings and cabinets in about the early 1950s. There wasn't a lot of coral set into jewelry, other than strands or ropes of coral beads, prior to 1952. So, finding the odd piece of jewelry that did have a bit of coral in it is a very unusual thing.    Generally, most of the coral still comes from the Mediterranean. It's traded in now by different dealers. It's become very expensive and sought after because they're protecting the coral beds in Italy. It's getting harder and harder to get it.    Sharon: It's harder, yeah.   Jennifer: Yeah, but it's not Australian coral at all.   Sharon: You're so knowledgeable. Do you put on educational seminars besides flying in artists?   Jennifer: We used to write articles here in Sidney for the Antiques and Art Galleries Magazine every quarter. There were some pages of photographs and examples of things. Probably about seven years ago, when the paper folded and everything went digital, that's when we ended up with the New South Wales Art and Antiques Magazine. Maybe it went down into Victoria as well and Melbourne south of us, which is not a big town, but it's a cultural center. So, I used to write articles. I have been meaning to put together all those articles I wrote for so many years and so many editions of the Antiques and Art Galleries Paper in New South Wales and compile them into a book. That's on the to-do list. I haven't gotten around to doing that yet.   I used to do talks occasionally at clubs or different places where women would want to be spoken to about wearable body adornment. I did some radio interviews with Dan Kotch back in the day. He's a finance and investment guy who does radio interviews with people to talk about things that are considered good investments, that hold their value and appreciate over time, which jewelry does. Up in the Blue Mountains I did some talks. I was invited to talk to groups of artists that lived up in the mountains who did various forms of artwork. They wanted to hear about American Indian art in general, the textiles, the jewelry, the pottery making, how it was done. I've also done interviews with a local radio station here. They invited me to do a few talks on their Sunday afternoon program about jewelry. So, I've done a fair bit.    I've done fashion magazines, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and different things. I've done photoshoots of my jewelry over the years, where they've wanted to show unusual artwork. They often use it in their fashion shoots. They borrow jewelry and put it in their fashion shoots and give credit to the gallery, but then they'll ask me to write some information about the gallery and what's it all about, and then they'll put that into the magazine. Women of Individual Style was a thing that came out one time, and I was asked to be a part of that one issue. They talked about me and how I dressed and all the body adornment I wore and how I put it together. So, over 40 years, there have been quite a lot of things I've been asked to do. I haven't actually written a book and I haven't organized a group of talks. I probably could, but running a business, having staff, trading pearls, going on buying trips, organizing four exhibitions a year, it's a lot. You do the best with the bulls that are the most important for you.   Sharon: No, I understand. You have a lot of time left to do that.    I've never been in the Indian Market. I've always wanted to go, but I've been scared off by the crowds.    Jennifer: It is hectic. It is very hectic.   Sharon: Yes. You say when you come back, you have a buying exhibition?   Jennifer: Sure. I'm over there, often Instagramming things I'm finding and putting it on Instagram just to show people things I'm finding while I'm away. Then, when I get back, I have to ship everything home to Sidney and we go through it. We take a nice photograph of it, like a postcard, and I send it out. I have some 5,000 people on my mailing list. So, I send all my clients a huge postcard of beautiful jewelry. I'll have an odd, old carving in there or something to make it look beautiful. I send it out and say, “Hi, that's my latest buying trip. We'll be having a champagne opening”—it's usually the second week of September on a Saturday—“Please come see the collection, or you can view a lot of it online or you can email me.” My clients look forward to that because they're not all traveling to Santa Fe and the reservation, so it's as close to it as they can get.   Sharon: Absolutely. Where else are they going to get it, unless they go to Santa Fe?   Jennifer: And even then, you're so overwhelmed. There's so much product over there. All of it's handmade by Native American artists. It's a crazy time to do it with a lot of shops. It's hard to find good quality material that's authentic as well. But a lot of my clients do end up going on a holiday over there and want to be there.   Sharon: What are you looking for when you're there? You say it's hard to find the right things. What are you looking for?   Jennifer: I'm often hunting for early pieces that are by great artists, or things that are unusually aesthetically beautiful that impress me and are different to what I've found before. Or maybe it's similar to something I've found before, but I haven't seen something like that in a long time. It's a hunt for the rare and the unusual and the beautiful.    It's also visiting all my artists and seeing what is being made. In the winter, when they're planning to bring it to market in the summer, I'm talking with them about what they're going to make during the year. Am I going to set up a show with some of them? Can they make money if I buy from them at the Indian Market? Because they're trying to sell to the tourists at retail price. As a representative, I have to buy at a wholesale price, so I can buy it and present it to my clients here for a reasonable price. We talk about what they might build or make during the year. We talk about all of that. Would they like to come for a show? When would it suit both of us? It can't be in August, because I'm in America, or in September because I do my returns from my trip show. I have three other shows I do with my sister.     Then I'm looking, not for a huge amount of them, but for artworks and artifacts that are interesting, that resonate with the Southwest. Recently I got an old hunting lodge elk horn chandelier with little parchment shades over the lights. My electrician has to rewire it for the Australian current to hang it in the gallery. We're still working on that project. We've got to get it rewired and hung up in the ceiling and get a secure hook, but I'm bringing things into the gallery that make people feel connected with the Southwest.    There's something about that culture that—I don't know. I don't particularly believe in past lives and that kind of thing, but there's something about that culture that so resonates with me. I can't really explain it, but I just love it. It's the only place I feel at home when I get out of the plane and the Albuquerque airport, and I rent the car and head out to Zuni or wherever I'm going. If I'm driving across to Prescott or different places, I feel quite at home. It's a weird sensation. I also feel it while I'm here on the edge of the ocean. Those are two places where there's a sense of freedom and expanse and openness that I love.    Sharon: I can understand that. I can understand both the ocean and Santa Fe, with the light and the sunsets.   Jennifer: What is it? The plains, the wide-open spaces. It's a very open, incredible feeling of freedom. I don't know how to explain it. It is beautiful, and Santa Fe is very pretty with the housing and the pretty streets. Everything is adobe-style, and I do love that as an architectural form. It's very lovely, but what really is amazing is driving around the country in the Southwest. It's so open. I just love it. Just talking about it, I love it.   Sharon: Is there turquoise all over the country, all over the U.S.?   Jennifer: Only in the Southwest, so Nevada, I think some in Utah, and the very southern states. It comes from copper and iron areas, where you find copper and iron is mined heavily, thus the color of the turquoise. It's developed in veins within these mines. A lot of the beautiful turquoise like Bisbee and Villa Grove and Lander and some of the very rare or early turquoises were from small pockets of turquoise mines that were mined out and are now exhausted. You can't get those stones anymore, unless you get them from jewelry that was made some time ago with this quality of stone. Maybe somebody has been sitting on some raw material that they've yet to make things out of. Sometimes you buy at auction or estates, and you find old jewelry that has great stones, but the jewelry is ugly, so you pull it apart and give it to an artist to remake into a great piece.    A lot of the turquoise you get today, which is Sleeping Beauty or Kingman or from more general mines, it's more prolific in availability. A lot of it has been stabilized or treated so you can work with it. It's stronger and easier to work with, but getting good, natural stone is always my preference. If it's high grade, it won't change much in color because it's very dense and quite glossy. If it's more medium in grade, it'll be more porous, so more vulnerable to moisture acquisition. It will vary in color slightly over the years depending on your body oil. Not as much in the desert in the Southwest. The atmosphere there doesn't change it too much. Here in Australia, we're very humid, so it changes much differently than it does in the desert area. There's something charming about that. It's like it's alive. It's like it takes on some tones and colors of blue and green and everything in between depending on the wearer, the humidity, what country you live in. It's a very personal stone. It's like the stone and the sea. It's always changing.    Sharon: Can you look at a piece of turquoise and tell where it's from or if it's old?   Jennifer: Yes, you can tell whether it's recent and hasn't been around for very long. You can generally tell whether it's high grade, medium grade or low grade, depending on the density, the patina, the veining, all that kind of thing. Labeling what mine it comes from is a very tricky process because you have all these different mines scattered around the Southwest. Manassa is traditionally green, Kingman is traditionally blue, Blue Gem is traditionally very glossy, high grade and more of an aqua color. You'll get variations within the mine as well that tend a little more green or a little less or more polished. So, it'll look a little bit like another mine.   Then how old is the piece? I've been in discussion with dealers who have been handling turquoise for a long time. That will also help you decide where that stone probably came from, because that was the sort of stone they were using back when Leekya, for instance, was carving his turquoise stones. He liked the gentle, aqua-colored turquoise, and that was a particular stone. A more recent stone, Sleeping Beauty, is a high-grade, intense bluish stone. If it's more recently made, it's probably going to be that rather than Villa Grove, which is an older, softer, very blue stone, more of a cornflower blue. So yes, like anything, whether it be opals, pearls, old furniture, textiles, whatever, if you do your thing for long enough, you get to know all about it.   Sharon: And that's how you learned? You didn't study it, right?   Jennifer: I have a whole library here of books on North American Indian art, jewelry, painting, sculpture, kachinas, pottery, textiles. I've written articles all my life. I've been over there twice a year. I've looked at millions of pieces of jewelry, although not as many pieces of textiles and paintings and sculptures or pottery. So, it's experience, knowledge, rating, education. The hands-on piece is always significant. People like Teal McKibben, Lori Phillips, people who were before me, women in particular who I identify with, who spent their lives studying American Indian art. They've all passed away now or they're in their 80s. They taught me a lot, saying “Look at these. Look at how this is made and look at this stone.” It's been a life's education.   Sharon: It sounds like it. What's your favorite kind of jewelry?    Jennifer: My passionate thing that I love more than anything to this day is very early Navajo silversmithing and turquoise. That's what they call Villa Grove, or a sky blue turquoise stone. It's not as high-end as Blue Gem or Manassa or Lander or Indian Mountain—there's a whole lot of them—but I love the color. I love the soft, simple, understated, courageous and brave form of silver that the Navajo did in their silversmithing from learning to be blacksmiths, which is what they were first told they had to do. They were on the reservations shoeing the horses of the soldiers and the English and the French. Their talent for silversmithing evolved from that, with their strength and the creativity and simplicity and the beautiful execution of silver body adornment.    Originally it was all men making the silver things, so there's a masculine tone to it that I love as well. That's become the thing now. I'm wearing my salmon clothes. The balance of putting beautifully hammered, wonderful silver jewelry with simple sets of turquoise stone, on me, I just love it. Sometimes things are so beautiful. You look at so many things. How you can you tell why this one is better than this one? I say, “Well, look at it. Can't you see?” But that's me. So, that's probably my most passionate thing, early Navajo silver jewelry.   Then, after being in the business and dealing with it for a long time, I grew to really love Leekya Deyuse and Zuni carved turquoise jewelry. Leekya Deyuse was a Zuni carver that was probably working from the 1920s to the 1950s. He died in the 1960s fighting fires in Zuni. He was not all that old. Anyway, I have grown to love very much Leekya's carved turquoise. Not only turquoise; sometimes he did coral figures of leaves and bears and birds. His work is very hard to get, finely carved. He was one of the first guys who set the precedent of carving fetish necklaces on little animals and necklaces. He was one of the first to take the format of shell and stone and create it into a little medicine or good luck charm or protection from an animal. Then he took it another step further and started threading it on beads so you could wear it like a necklace. They are probably my two most favorite things to look for, really great Navajo jewelry and really great pieces by Leekya. There is certainly much more to it, but that's it if I was going to put it in a nutshell.   Sharon: Who should we keep our eyes on then?   Jennifer: Who's up and coming?   Sharon: Yes.   Jennifer: Cheryl Yestewa has been around for quite a long time, but I find her jewelry just fabulous and exploding in creativity in various ways. She works out of the desert, but she's into sea inspiration. Anyway, she's a wonderful artist.    I think Keri Ataumbi, who is—let me get the tribe right. Keri Ataumbi is Kiowa. She does really great work. I'm very excited about her work. We've had a couple of exhibitions of her work now, and she should be coming to her first exhibition in Sidney this Christmas.    Denise Wallace is a legend so she's not up and coming at all, but I think her son, David, is a great carver. Carving free form in ivory is a very difficult and challenging thing to do, and I think he's got a gift. I think David Wallace is somebody to watch. He's not putting himself out very much yet, but I think he's great.    I think for lapidary work—and she's been doing it for a while—she's the daughter of Cheryl Yestewa. Piki Wadsworth does the most beautiful lapidary. I think she just grows and excels and gets better and better at what she does. She's Hopi. I think these are the people that come to mind at the moment.    Every time I go down into Gallop, I have a look at different artists' works that are up and coming. A lot of them are doing some really interesting work, but a lot of them aren't wanting to go to Santa Fe or get high-profile or get noticed. I have to rely on people I know from that region to collect their work during the year. Then I go to them and see what they've made.   Sharon: It sounds very exciting. Thank you so much for being with us. It's been great talking with you.   Jennifer: It's been my pleasure and so much fun. I hope you do come to the Indian Market one day.   Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

Lori Phillips's 29 year old son Aaron Cogswell was part of the crew working aboard the scallop dragger when it sank off of Delaps Cove in December of 2020. She tells us about a new headstone that has been installed on the Delaps Cove Wilderness Trail for her son and his crewmates and why it is important to their families.

In today's episode, we discuss how we have access to silly tools that can shift our energy immediately. What tools do you use? We share ideas like dancing, singing, screaming, bouncing, and more to move negative, stale energy to get you to a more positive state in a short amount of time.

In today's episode, we provide a reminder about the basics of keeping a positive mindset. Especially now that the world is opening back up and we find ourselves surrounded by people that might not have a positive mindset, it is more important than ever to practice positivity. We discuss not taking how others act personally, not engaging in negative talk and behaviors, and modeling being a positive person. All of these things help us stay on our positive path.

In today's episode, we discuss thoughts on four components of relationships: duration, proximity, frequency, and intensity. What about those connections when you meet someone and you feel like you have known them forever? Or those relationships that pick right back up as if no time has passed? We discuss how this formula doesn't take synergy and genuine connections into account. In order to cultivate genuine relationships, we must enter into relationships as our authentic selves and embody the type of genuine connections that we desire.

In today's episode, we are reflecting on the following quote by Yung Pueblo:“If you expect your relationship to always be fun, high energy, and without conflict then you are unconsciously attached to perfection. Even great relationships have down times, slow moments, and conflict that appears so you can better understand each other and reach deeper harmony.”We discuss how living a positive life does not mean living at a high vibe at all times, but it is more about having a positive mindset that helps us to see the benefits of all experiences. If we allow ourselves, we can learn and grow through mistakes in life and reach deeper harmony.

Jack Thursday - Concept of Deal Flow (LA 1701) Transcript: Steven Jack Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill K DeWit: Howdy. Steven Jack Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Stephen Jack Butala. Jill K DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting for The Valley of the Sun. Steven Jack Butala: Today's Jack Thursday and I'm going to talk about the concept of deal flow. Grossly, taken advantage of, not taken advantage of, taken for granted in this group and in our Land Academy group, because Jill and I are doing our jobs and we're teaching everybody. Instructing everyone to create an amazing amount of deal flow that's controllable and manageable. I'll talk about it in a minute. Jill K DeWit: Is there a problem? Steven Jack Butala: No, it's a great thing ever. Jill K DeWit: Are we in trouble? Steven Jack Butala: No. Jill K DeWit: Okay. Steven Jack Butala: It's just the greatest thing ever and I'll talk about it. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community, it's free and don't forget to subscribe on the Land Academy YouTube channel, comment on the shows you like. Jill K DeWit: Edgar wrote, "I got the chance to meet Lori Phillips over the weekend in person, while she was on a trip down to Florida. We met at a nearby diner for coffee," this is funny, "and maybe a big breakfast for me. It was surreal because she is just as one would expect and really genuine person who wants the best for you. We talked for hours about a variety of topics. Although I'm sure she had millions of other things to do, she made me feel like I was her top priority that day." Steven Jack Butala: That's what you get out of being a Land Academy member, is access to people like Lori. Jill K DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). That's it, that's all there is? Steven Jack Butala: Yep. Jill K DeWit: Okay. Steven Jack Butala: Today's Jack Thursday and I'm going to- Jill K DeWit: Thanks for sharing Edgar. Steven Jack Butala: ... talk about concept of deal flow. Jill K DeWit: Yeah and thanks for doing that, Lori, by the way. That was so cool. Steven Jack Butala: This is why you're listening, I want you to clear your mind for a minute and think from a philosophical or academic standpoint about why people are successful at anything. In my opinion... my goodness. Jill K DeWit: Let me cover for you. Steven Jack Butala: No, my goodness. People are successful in my opinion, because they have choices and when you are in a business where you have control over which deals you do and which deals you don't do at the level where we do, because we have so much self-generated deal flow, that's truly amazing. In all the companies and businesses that I've ever been involved in and responsible for bringing in new business, like in accounting bringing in new clients. You're sitting in front of 22 choices of new clients and you get to pick the best two or three, the ones that you think you're going to be able to make the most money with and get along with the most, they've all succeeded. When you don't have deal flow opportunities, it's very hard. When I started out in real estate, I wish somebody would've sat me down and said, deal flow is the whole key. Steven Jack Butala: If you're a real estate agent and you have 14 opportunities to list 14 opportunities to list properties that day, you're going to smash it out of the park in your career and it's your responsibility to generate those opportunities, not anyone's else's. Well, we make that easy through these mailers. If you send out 25,000 mailers and you do it correctly, like we teach, you're going to buy up to 50 properties at least 10. If you're making $10 or $20,000 per property, now you're making a quarter of a million on a mailer, all because of deal flow. This gets overlooked in this group. Jill and I get hundreds of questions all the time in different formats, the Thursday call hourly on discord,

Steven Jack Butala: This is why you're listening, I want you to clear your mind for a minute and think from a philosophical or academic standpoint about why people are successful at anything. In my opinion... my goodness. Jill K DeWit: Let me cover for you. Steven Jack Butala: No, my goodness. People are successful in my opinion, because they have choices and when you are in a business where you have control over which deals you do and which deals you don't do at the level where we do, because we have so much self-generated deal flow, that's truly amazing. In all the companies and businesses that I've ever been involved in and responsible for bringing in new business, like in accounting bringing in new clients. You're sitting in front of 22 choices of new clients and you get to pick the best two or three, the ones that you think you're going to be able to make the most money with and get along with the most, they've all succeeded. When you don't have deal flow opportunities, it's very hard. When I started out in real estate, I wish somebody would've sat me down and said, deal flow is the whole key. Steven Jack Butala: If you're a real estate agent and you have 14 opportunities to list 14 opportunities to list properties that day, you're going to smash it out of the park in your career and it's your responsibility to generate those opportunities, not anyone's else's. Well, we make that easy through these mailers. If you send out 25,000 mailers and you do it correctly, like we teach, you're going to buy up to 50 properties at least 10. If you're making $10 or $20,000 per property, now you're making a quarter of a million on a mailer, all because of deal flow. This gets overlooked in this group.

In today's episode, we have a special guest, Katharine Chestnut. From the fast-paced world of marketing and small business, to self-care routines and wellness practices, Katharine has created a lifestyle that's truly hers. She is committed to help others discover their own inner wisdom. She encourages everyone's Inner Affirmations to connect to a powerful source of loving, affirmative energy that's inside of each of us. Katharine Chestnut has an extensive and varied career background that spans across many different industries. With a few decades of marketing experience under her belt, including a Diamond-level certification in trade-show marketing.

Katharine transitioned from working in a global corporate environment to the world of coworking. She now plays dual roles, as both founder and Chief Community Officer at Alkaloid Networks. Alkaloid Networks is a coworking space she founded in 2015. Katharine thrives on fostering connection for members who are growing their businesses.

She can shift seamlessly from topics around marketing, to kinesiology, then coaching in the same conversation. The culmination of her journey over the last few years is her most recent work, Inner Affirmations. This book is Katharine's testament to her practice of self-care and the kind of growth that comes from a journaling routine.

Interview with Long Time Member Matt Bailey (LA 1476) Transcript: Steve: Steve Butala here for Land Academy. Jill's not with us today. Lucky for her. She's actually out having some fun. So I wanted to take this opportunity, this kind of vacant opportunity to introduce, I think, a long time member, Matt Bailey, a member of Land Academy. Matt came to us from another member, Lori Phillips, who said, "Look, you got to, I just talked to this guy. He's been a member for a long time, a lot longer than I have. He's really got his stuff together. And he'd be a great guy to have on the show because I think a lot of new people specifically would get a lot out of this." We are Steve and Jill. Jill: Together we've been buying and reselling land since the 90s. Steve: Our data centric approach leaves our buyers asking, "How can you sell it so cheap?" Jill: Here on the Land Academy show- Steve: We answer that and more. Welcome, Matt. Thanks so much for being on the show. I'll start off right away and just ask you, how'd you find us? How long have you been with us? What are you working on? If you can just introduce yourself and give us a little flavor, that'd be great. Matt: Yeah, sure. So I've been at this for about four years now. I got into it, like I think a lot of people did, listening to BiggerPockets and then Seth had a podcast early on in there and I got started on his course shortly after I jumped in. And did your course. I think that both have a lot to offer. I'm glad that I had done both. And so, yeah, I mean, I've been with you guys for four years, working and lately really this year kind of scaling the company up. So now we have four full-time employees. Lori was the person who introduced us and suggested we jump on the podcast and I'd kind of come to her because I was working on trying to build the processes out, scaling the company, training. And I didn't really have a ton of time to price a mailer. And she had a bunch of mailers priced, but not a lot of bandwidth to do the overhead and the actual execution on it and that's exactly what my business is kind of designed to do. Matt: I've kind of built it from the beginning to be designed for scaling, so I focused a lot on business processes and developing a CRM with automations and stuff to kind of like help streamline everything. And that's how I started working with her. And I think we did like five or six deals off of that mailer. And, most of them have kind of come full circle now and yeah, I mean, it's just land's been pretty good. I'm really enjoying it and it's nice to be able to be on the podcast with you. Steve: That's great, man. So what's a typical deal look like for you right now with Lori or without Lori or what's a typical deal look like? Matt: Yeah. So, I started on some of the smaller deals and as I've done more deals, even though I built this for volume, I think that if you build your business from the beginning to be able to handle volume, you can do fewer deals and not have to work so hard on each one because all of your stuff is streamlined. Right? So, I started doing smaller deals and right now, my minimum threshold is $5,000 profit is what we're looking to do. So I'd say most of them are probably in that five to $20,000 range and we're starting to work on larger ones. So like I mentioned, I've got now four full-time employees that work with me and I know exactly what we're going to convert in the markets that we've done before if we mailed a certain percentage of offer price to these five to $20,000 deals, right? Matt: So I'm keeping those as the bread and butter, but I'm looking to scale up to larger deals, but I don't want to jump into those larger deals and find out that, okay, it turns out you convert one in 7,000 if you're trying to get more than a $50,000 profit or something. Right? And I assume that it's going to be closer to one in 1000 or 2000 or whatever it might be. So now that I've got all these people underneath me, it's like,

Transcripts: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hello. Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from awesome... Where am I? Steven Butala: Central- Jill DeWit: Arizona. Steven Butala: No, sunny Scottsdale. Southern Scottsdale, actually. Jill DeWit: Well, do we say southern... Okay, there we go. From sunny Southern Scottsdale. Okay. Here we go. Steven Butala: Today Jill and I talk about the right kind of buyer to sell from, and we don't talk about ending a sentence with a preposition. Jill DeWit: I was going to say. Oh, look cute it is, our bikes are in the back of the frame. I like that. There's my new bike and your new bike. That's so cute. Steven Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Jack, I think it's okay. I'm not... I'm pretty sure your English teacher is not listening. Steven Butala: I bet she's not either. Jill DeWit: Okay. Steven Butala: You know what my English teacher told me? Jill DeWit: What? Uh-oh. Steven Butala: "Why are you going to go to college? That's just... Just so you can beat your head against the wall and when you stop, it makes you feel better?" Jill DeWit: No. Steven Butala: I swear. Jill DeWit: Who told you that? Steven Butala: My high school English teacher said that. Jill DeWit: Why? Steven Butala: She's just an old, cranky lady and she didn't think I was smart. We all have stories like this. Jill DeWit: Okay. I never had that. That's kind of interesting. I'm sorry. Steven Butala: Well, you're a happy, nice person, and you were probably a good student. Jill DeWit: Maybe it's all true. Okay. Got it. Steven Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Okay. Mike wrote, "Hi guys. I'm getting a great response from my first mailer. One of the responses is a lady who has 23 acres and willing to sell. However, it turns out that she has another 84 acres that is connected to the 23 acres that she also wants to sell." Good problem to have Mike. "The only thing is there are three homes... " Wow "... included." Again, not seeing a problem. This is great. "Two houses and one mobile home. There are three other family members on the deeds." Here it comes. "All of which are willing to sell also." Okay, doing great. "On top of this, the total of 107 acres and divided into nine different parcels, three of which have one of the homes included. Leaving six vacant parcels. I needed advice. Does all this strike you as a huge mess or huge opportunity? Thanks in advance for the input." Steven Butala: You go first. Jill DeWit: Opportunity. Steven Butala: Massive opportunity. Jill DeWit: Holy moly. Steven Butala: Here's what's funny about this. I chose this question in part because there are two members of the advanced group that answered this question in Land Investors, and also our moderator who is a very active land seller. And all three of them said, "This is a huge mess." Jill DeWit: They did? Steven Butala: "It's complicated." This person isn't a member. Jill DeWit: Oh. Steven Butala: They're just part of the [crosstalk 00:02:55]. Jill DeWit: Mike's not a member? Steven Butala: Mm-mm (negative). Jill DeWit: Okay. Got it. Steven Butala: And so they said, "No, you're too new and this is too complicated. Don't do the deal." I'm like- Jill DeWit: Or bring somebody on like us and we can do it with you. Steven Butala: I would immediately get with... One of the members is Lori Phillips and she didn't say don't do it, she just said, "This is too complicated for you in the beginning." Jill DeWit: True. Steven Butala: What I want you to do is reach out to her or somebody in the advanced group. Jill DeWit: Seasoned. Steven Butala: Or us. Jill DeWit:

This week Inwood Art Works On Air Live N' Local welcomes opera singers Lori Phillips and Mary Phillips. Soprano Lori Phillips debuted at the Metropolitan Opera as Senta in Der Fliegende Holländer in 2010, which was also the year she appeared (in a role debut) as Brünnhilde in Die Walküre with the Hawaii Opera Theater. Since then she’s performed to tremendous accolades throughout North America and Europe. Mezzo-soprano Mary Phillips has performed most of the mezzo roles in Wagner’s Ring cycle, including Brangäne in Tristan und Isolde for Dallas Opera and Schwertleite in the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Die Walküre. In 2012 she received a Grammy for her solo work in the Met’s recording of Wagner’s Der Ring Des Niebelungen. Mary has sung throughout North America and Europe, including Carnegie’s Zankel Hall and the Library of Congress. Incidentally, Lori and Mary are not just sisters, but identical twins. For this episode Aaron is joined by Gordon Ostrowski, recently retired stage director and assistant dean at the Manhattan School of Music.

This week is a special edition of the podcast, talking specifically about Medicare, and the upcoming Medicare enrollment deadline which is Saturday December 7th. Lori Phillips of the Senior Resource Center for Douglas County joined Audio-Reader's Meredith Johanning to help us decipher some of the details of Medicare and the myriad of enrollment options available. http://yoursrc.org/home/resources-for-seniors/health-care/ https://www.medicare.gov/
