From striped bass policy to black bear hunting, Fred Bird breaks down this week's biggest wins for America's sportsmen. New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte officially joins the Governor's Sportsmen's Caucus, continuing the state's long tradition of leadership in defending hunting and angling heritage. Fred also spotlights CSF's new Rocky Mountain States Coordinator, Nate Serlin, and his role working with the Legislative Sportsmen's Caucuses in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming. On the fisheries front, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission decides to maintain striped bass regulations, averting unnecessary closures for thousands of saltwater anglers. Down south, Florida's outdoor community celebrates major conservation wins, from saving the Rodman Reservoir bass fishery to reinstating a science-based black bear hunt. Fred also covers how the U.S. Senate voted to uphold science-based wildlife management, defeating an anti-hunting proposal targeting owl conservation, and explains why access without habitat is meaningless for hunters and trappers nationwide. If you care about how policy affects the woods, waters, and wildlife you love, this is your weekly must-listen briefing from the front lines of conservation.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter   Follow The Sportsmen's Voice wherever you get your podcasts: https://podfollow.com/1705085498  Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they reflect on the legacy of the late former Vice President Dick Cheney, slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for trying to undermine the Supreme Court, and highlight more deranged behavior from the left, this time targeting Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy.First, they examine the long and influential career of Dick Cheney, from his early days in the Ford administration to serving as Defense Secretary during the Gulf War and later as one of the most consequential vice presidents in U.S. history. There will be considerable debate on the right over his legacy in the Iraq War and his endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024. Jim also tells us about a special dinner he had with the Cheneys shortly after the 2004 election.Next, they slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for his latest comments clearly aimed at delegitimizing the U.S. Supreme Court, all because he's frustrated by the right-leaning decisions coming from the court. Holder is also among the people urging Democrats to gerrymander their congressional even more heading into the 2026 midtermsFinally, they recoil at the vile voicemail left for Sen. Sheehy by a woman who is running for local office in Montana. In the message, she hopes Sheehy contracts pancreatic cancer and dies quickly because he supported the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill. Jim says after Charlie Kirk's murder, the Jay Jones scandal, and now this, there are a lot of people becoming detached from reality over politics.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

A Democratic candidate in a Montana race leaves a vile voicemail for the GOP candidate, and the mainstream media is mad that President Trump hasn't said anything about the passing of Dick Cheney.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

Ranches, rodeos and public land. This is the story of a surprising battle raging in the American West, and the unlikely coalition it's forged. Nearly half of all land in the West of the United States is owned by the federal government. Some people are trying to change that; they argue that part of it should be used for housing, amid a nationwide shortage. But this debate about land and development has touched a nerve in the Western psyche - tapping into bigger fears that the old way of life is under threat. It's about identity, trust, and the growing popularity of cowboy culture, driven in part by the TV series Yellowstone. In an increasingly polarised United States, this debate about public land is uniting cowboys, environmental activists, conservatives, and progressives. Ellie House reports from Montana, a state where the prospect of a public land sell-off is deeply unpopular, and where people feel like their cultures and traditions are at stake.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

      Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84.  Yes, he loved America and yes, he loved war.  And yes, this podcast host once upon a time believed in what he was selling us.  But mostly, his death is a reminder of what we used to be forced to vote for.  As VP, Dems hated him almost as much as they do Trump.  In death, they will remember him as a great steward of the neo con deep state.     Bernie Sanders appears on a podcast and pretty much predicts the Democrat party is over and will splinter into two parties.   Ben Shapiro, on his podcast, hammers Tucker Carlson... we'll play a clip.    Former Senator Joe Manchin gives the clearest statement yet on why Dems are in trouble while a crazy dem in Montana running for office leaves the most vile voicemail you've ever heard for Montana Senatory Tim Sheahy.     Left Tackle Josh Simmons is back with the Chiefs.   I"m going there.... new KU star Darryn Peterson looks a lot like Michael Jordan.    And the Royals are sending a survey out to the fans about a new ballpark and that can only mean one thing.

#294 I first saw Jillian Johnsrud speak at FinCon, and I knew right away I wanted to bring her on the show. What she shared was incredibly valuable not just for the personal finance community, but especially for fitness professionals and gym owners who work so hard and often think they have to wait until "someday" to enjoy life. In this episode, Jillian explains what a mini retirement is, why it can be one of the best decisions you'll ever make, and how to plan for it intentionally. We talk about the time and money components, how to include your family, and how taking a step back can actually move you forward financially and personally. Even if you're not ready to take one right now, the process of preparing for a mini retirement will help you put the right systems in place and gain clarity about what really matters. In this episode, you'll learn: What a mini retirement actually is (and what it isn't) Why it can provide unexpected financial and personal benefits How to think through the time and money pieces so it fits your season of life Tips for making the most of your time away, especially with family Why planning for a mini retirement can strengthen your business systems even if you don't take one yet About the Guest Jillian Johnsrud never expected to be able to retire early, so she hatched a plan to retire often. Inspired by the idea of sabbatical years, she set out to sprinkle retirements throughout her life. At 40, she has taken over a dozen mini-retirements. These allowed her to pursue dreams like living abroad, traveling to 27 countries, adopting four kids (plus two biological kids), investing in real estate, and touring the U.S. in a camper. Jillian has taught, coached, and wrote about mini-retirements for almost a decade. She hosts the Retire Often podcast and is a popular speaker and consultant for mini retirements. She lives in Montana, where she spends time in the garden drinking tea. Jillian Johnsrud is the founder of Retire Often and a leading voice in the financial independence and lifestyle design space. She's helped thousands of people pursue meaningful work, intentional living, and financial freedom on their own terms.

Send us a textFrom the gridiron to the brain, this episode dives deep into how former All-American linebacker and two-time national champion Brandon Day turned pain, burnout, and life's challenges into purpose. He opens up about his journey from a small town in Montana to co-founding Evolved Athlete, where he discovered the power of neurotraining and Flow Science along the way.We discuss the lessons sports teach us beyond the scoreboard — emotional regulation, teamwork, and resilience — and how these lessons now shape Brandon's work in helping athletes move beyond pain to unlock performance in life.You'll also hear how fatherhood (with triplets!) parallels life on the field, why early sports specialization is holding kids back, and how healthy masculinity and mentorship can transform the way young athletes express strength and emotion.

405 A Love Letter To My Future Self Throughout life there will come times where we must take up our skills and talents as a knight would a sword and shield, wielding our innate and powerful gifts to further our lives for the better. By facing these moments, refusing to make excuses, and instead put in the hard work, we are bound to succeed.  In this episode, Sarah Elkins contemplates the events that lead up to her presence on the TEDX stage, how the encouragement of her closest confidants, the peacefulness of nature on her hikes, and her own self reflection has brought her to this pivotal moment in her life.    Highlights What are you hesitating on? What is giving you pause as you take this next step in your life? How social media and our own personal responsibility can potentially contribute to division. Connecting as a human being is all you need to be to make your life and the lives of those around you more fulfilling. Are you making excuses? Or are you avoiding doing something hard even though it will pay off in the end? You just need to make it exist first, then you can make it perfect.  You are at a summit, but not the summit.   Quotes "Every like, comment, and share, tells the algorithm on every platform exactly what it needs to know to manipulate us." "Our personal stories can reduce loneliness and division when we share them with the intention to connect. Not with the intention to change a person's mind." "You took big risks Sarah, and they paid off! I'm not surprised at all."   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

My friends… this might just be the biggest episode I've ever done. I mean it. Buckle up, because today I'm dropping the biggest news of my entire fitness career. Yup — you heard that right. After 25+ years of building, growing, evolving, and praying on what's next… I'm fired up to officially announce that I'm opening Impact X Performance San Diego — coming Q1 of 2026! That's right, baby — a brand new 5,000-square-foot sanctuary of fitness, recovery, coaching, and faith. A place where the soul sings, the spirit soars, and lives are transformed. This episode is personal. It's raw. It's emotional. I'm sharing straight from the heart — because this next chapter has been years in the making. I talk about: The five powerful reasons why I'm opening this new flagship IXP location in San Diego.  How three and a half years of pain, burnout, and uncertainty turned into the foundation for my greatest comeback yet. Why my soul needed to get back into brick and mortar — to lead, coach, and serve again in person. What makes IXP different — from world-class training and recovery, to faith-fueled coaching and personal growth programs. How scripture guided me through the storm and how this vision was born out of divine timing, not my own. You'll also hear about my plans for mentorships, retreats, and life-changing experiences we'll host at IXP San Diego — because I can't wait to pour into more coaches, leaders, and high performers like YOU. I'm also dropping some reflection questions that I've asked myself the last few years — questions that shaped everything I'm announcing today: If your older, wiser self could speak to you, what would they say? If you knew you would not fail, what would you do — and when would you do it? Are you running to something, or from something? What's your B-HAG — your big, hairy, audacious goal? This episode is about rebirth, renewal, and stepping boldly into what God's called you to do — even when you don't have all the answers. Because I didn't. For years, I didn't. But now… now the vision is crystal clear. So tune in, crank the volume, and let's celebrate this moment together. Because Impact X Performance San Diego is coming SOON — and it's going to be something special. Follow the journey on Instagram at @ImpactXSanDiego — I'll be posting all the updates on the buildout, the team, and the launch.  And tag me @ToddDurkin with your biggest takeaway from this episode. I want to hear from you! Let's go, baby. The next chapter starts NOW. Train hard. Eat right. Live inspired.

Headframe Spirits (Butte, MT) WF076 Today, a bit of a hybrid episode. As part of the Great 48 Tour, I decided to revisit a distillery in the mining town of Butte, Montana. It's a distillery that tells the story of Butte America and the town's mining legacy through its spirit names. So, not only was I fascinated by it's storytelling, I was also intrigued by the fact I've seen stills around the country with Headframe's logo. So, I wanted to dive a little deeper with founder John McKee, who not only has a passion for making a unique (for America) style still, but also is a great ambassador for the town of Butte. A good bit of history, some talk about whiskey, and a wee bit of a technical deep dive into what makes his stills different from the pot stills and column stills we see throughout the industry. Enjoy this interview/flight with an additional 5 minutes of content as a member of the Whiskey Lore Speakeasy: patreon.com/whiskeylore  Cheers and slainte mhath, Drew

Send us a textGet ready everyone! This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale got a hold of the Executive Director of the Montana State Parks Foundation Megan Buecking and asked her if she knew anything about the rumors that some of Montana's Ghost Towns are actually haunted. Not only did she know about that, but she is a bit of an expert on the topic and took poor ole Rigger on a podcast tour that he will not soon forget. In fact, we are pretty sure that everyone around the podcast offices that heard Megan and Rigger's stories will not sleep for quite some time! As Rigger put it; “I thought this was going to fun little change of pace kind of Podcast where I would hear a few quirky stories and that would be it. Boy was I wrong! I hate to admit it but hosting this podcast scared the crap out of me! In fact, I am now pretty darn sure that ghosts are real!” Yeah, don't say we didn't warn you but when you listen, its gonna get real fricking spooky! And in some cases, heartbreaking. Wait until you hear about the one town where almost every child in the town died in one year! In another of the ghost towns that Rigger did a little research on he found out that several paranormal studies have been done and out of those the experts have concluded that no less than sixty buildings in and around the ghost town are indeed considered hunted!

When you meet someone for the first time, do you trust them by default?   I like to think that I just assume the best of a stranger, until they prove they aren't worthy of my trust. But that can be dangerous in some cases.   There were a couple of people who were partners in a business and they were looking for office space to rent. They searched online and found an ad for what looked like the perfect space. They met the owner there and he showed them around. They paid him first and last month's rent using Venmo, and planned to sign the lease agreement the next day.   They got the keys and moved everything in. But they never heard from the owner again. After a couple of days they still weren't able to reach him. Then the next day, the ACTUAL owner showed up, asking who they were any why they had moved all their stuff in, since he was planning to lease the space out soon.   The original fake owner was a disgruntled employee. He made out with a few thousand dollars, handed over the keys, and disappeared. But that whole scam hinged on trust.   My guest today is Tessi. She lives in Montana but was traveling outside the US. She met a young man and she didn't have any specific reason to not trust him.   But he was not someone to be trusted.     Links to local articles: https://www.usexpatcostarica.com/authorities-provide-assistance-to-tourist-who-was-raped-in-tortuguero/   https://www.usexpatcostarica.com/american-identified-suspect-of-rape-in-tortuguero/   https://qcostarica.com/court-imposes-six-months-of-preventive-detention-against-suspect-of-raping-a-american-tourist-in-tortuguero/     Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/234   Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

Brian, welcome to the show. Thanks Jason, thanks for having me. Excited to be here. Cool. So before we get into the topic at hand, let's rewind and tell everybody how did you get into entrepreneurism and how did you get into these businesses that you now have? Brian Seidensticker (01:37) Thanks Jason, thanks for having me. Excited to be here. Yeah, well, I think it's an interesting story, although I'm slightly biased because I did not grow up with aspirations of being in this space or doing what I do today, although I love what I do now. I think the probably the first sign of, maybe the standard corporate.   Jason Hull (01:55) I think it's an interesting story. sign of hey maybe the standard corporate Brian Seidensticker (02:14) atmosphere isn't necessarily for me came when I was ⁓ still in school. Got my first internship in the aerospace industry, which is where I spent the first 10 years of my career ⁓ at Honeywell, of all places, in design engineering and ⁓ thought it was exactly what I wanted to do, but I didn't know much about, you know, engineering and what was actually involved. ⁓ Jason Hull (02:14) atmosphere isn't necessary for me came when I was still in school got my first internship in the aerospace industry which is where I spent first 10 years of my career at Honeywell of all places and design engineering and thought it was exactly what I wanted to do but I didn't know much about you know engineering and what was actually all Brian Seidensticker (02:40) And that is the first time that I kind of realized, okay, maybe maybe this is not what I had in mind. was, you know, it's odd, you know, ironically enough, not a whole lot different than what I do today. I stared at a computer all day and that is not what I had envisioned for engineering. was assuming it was going to be much more hands on and touching things. And that was probably the first time where I called it my earliest twenties crisis, where I was like, Oh, you know, I'm three, four years into this. Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life? Jason Hull (02:40) And that is the first time that I kind of realized, okay, maybe this is not what I had in mind. was, ironically enough, not a whole lot different than what I do today. I stared at a computer all day and that is not what I had envisioned for engineering. was assuming to be much more hands-on and touching things. That was probably the first time where I call it my earliest 20s crisis, where I was like, whoa, I'm three, four years into this. Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?   Brian Seidensticker (03:10) and ultimately decided, well, I'm this far along. Starting over was more terrifying. so, you know, go ahead and finish it out. I was I was lucky in the fact that ⁓ within a year out of school, I did land what I consider a dream job and did love what I did for for quite a while. ⁓ I was basically what they call systems engineer for missile defense programs, working on Jason Hull (03:10) And ultimately decided, well, I'm this far along. Starting over was more terrifying. And so, you know, go ahead and finish it out. I was, I was lucky in the fact that within a year out of school, I did land what I consider a dream job and did love what I did for quite a while. I was basically what we call systems engineer for Missed Defense Programs, working on, you Brian Seidensticker (03:39) you know,   programs that essentially mimic ⁓ weapons of other countries. And then our systems would also practice shooting them down, which all sounds really, really cool. Right. And it was cool. ⁓ But my my second realization came later when I kind of well, I went on vacation for six weeks and I had a lot of anxiety about being gone that long of how much I would be behind. And when I got back, I realized, you know, how   Jason Hull (03:40) programs that essentially mimic weapons of other countries and then our systems would also practice shooting them down, which all sounds really, cool. Right. was cool. But my second realization came later when I kind of, well, I went on vacation for six weeks and I had a lot of anxiety about being gone that long and how much I would be behind and when I got back I realized how   Brian Seidensticker (04:08) little I was behind.   Jason Hull (04:08) little I was behind.   Brian Seidensticker (04:10) was basically stepped right back into it like I'd never been gone. And that was a realization for me that, you know, I'm spending a lot of my time on a hamster wheel unknowingly. And then eventually came to the conclusion that I've got two years of banging my head against the wall with government contracts, right? Anybody has dealt with that red tape associated with that for what equated to about two minutes of really cool. that those those just didn't equate for me as being worth it.   Jason Hull (04:10) and Yeah. ⁓   Brian Seidensticker (04:37) Right. And that's not to say, you know, I   loved what I did at certain cases that company I worked for was fantastic. It just wasn't necessarily for me. And that was where I kind of realized, OK, I got to find something else. Now, I wish I could say the next day I gave my notice, dropped the mic and left. That's certainly not how real life works. ⁓ But I did start getting into, well, originally fix and flip houses.   Jason Hull (04:49) and and   Brian Seidensticker (05:01) And this is in 06, 07 timeframe and ended up upside down in one of those. were flipping properties in Montana. And I guess most people know what happened in 07, 08. Luckily, it wasn't a detrimental thing and I didn't have too many houses, but was upside down. And so I've got a notice of a potential taxing on that property. Now, the odd thing is that   Jason Hull (05:06) and ended up upside down in one of those. were flipping properties in Montana and I guess most people know what happened in 07, 08. Luckily it wasn't a detrimental thing and I didn't have too many houses but it was upside down and so I got a notice of a potential taxing on that property. Now the odd thing is   that because the way that Montana statutes are at the time,   Brian Seidensticker (05:30) because the way that Montana statutes are at the time where   every potential investor had to send you a certified letter, I didn't just get one notice from the county. Probably would have never thought twice about it, but I got 20, 30, 40 of these certified letters all saying roughly the same thing. And that's really what triggered me to go, what is this all about? guess I'm a curious person by nature and started researching this whole tax lien certificate.   Jason Hull (05:34) where every potential investor had to send you a certified letter.

And lo and behold, was a whole industry.   Brian Seidensticker (05:59) enigma at the time. And lo and behold, it was it was a whole industry. There's   legitimate large businesses and banks that are are doing this. And that's what really steered me in the direction of shifting from a fixed flip to buying tax liens. And that was really the introduction to the space that we do a lot in today. So I guess a little bit on the journey of how I eventually became an entrepreneur ⁓ and how I was introduced to this space. ⁓   Jason Hull (06:04) legitimate large businesses and banks that are doing this. And that's what really steered me in the direction of shifting from a pay-per-fit to buying tax leaps. And that was really the introduction to this space that we do a lot in today. So was, I guess, a little bit on the journey of how I eventually became an entrepreneur and how I was introduced to this space.   Brian Seidensticker (06:28) I guess there's a whole line between today and then, but that's kind of the origin story anyway, Jason.   Jason Hull (06:28) I guess there's a whole lot in between today and then, but that's kind of the origin story.   Got it, yeah, interesting background. So from aerospace, doing engineering, to real estate fix and flips, and now you're in software and technology and doing some other cool stuff. So tell us a little bit about how can this benefit property managers? Let's get into this idea. Yeah, so.   Brian Seidensticker (06:57) Yeah. So   I think when it comes to property managers specifically, whether they're working with investors, to acquire on behalf of the investor and then they're operating that property or they're maybe managing that portfolio themselves. I really what tax sales have two different avenues, there's tax liens and then there's tax deeds. The tax deeds are what are sold at the end of a ⁓ foreclosure process for the   Jason Hull (07:16) Deeds are what are sold at the end of a proposal process for   the liens that never end up getting repaid. They go through a proposal process very similar to the mortgage proposal closure, although a lot longer timeline. And most of those are in areas where property managers or let's say a segment of property managers, you can get great. ⁓   Brian Seidensticker (07:23) liens that never end up getting repaid. go through a foreclosure process very similar to a mortgage foreclosure, although a lot longer timeline. ⁓ And most of those are in areas where property managers or I'd say a segment of property managers, ⁓ you can get great, ⁓ the great   Jason Hull (07:43) great rental options, especially if you're in the avenue of fixing rent. We work with several folks that buy properties, fix them up   Brian Seidensticker (07:43) rental options, especially if you're in the avenue of fixing rent. We work with several folks that buy properties, ⁓ fix them up and   with intent to rent them. And so if you're looking for an avenue of acquiring properties, right, and it may shift here in the next couple of years, we'll see what comes to reality. ⁓ But it's been an avenue of acquiring properties for the past 10 years where I think most people found it to be   Jason Hull (07:53) with intent to rent them. And so if you're looking for an avenue of acquiring properties, it may shift here in the next couple of years, and we'll see what comes to reality. But it's been an avenue of acquiring properties for the past 10 years where I think most people found it to be pretty...   Brian Seidensticker (08:12) pretty hard to find any sort of consistent ⁓ deals at a smaller scale of acquiring to build that portfolio over time. That's really probably the biggest impact too.   Jason Hull (08:12) pretty hard to find any sort of deals at a smaller scale requiring to build that footloid over time. That's really probably the biggest impact   to those folks. Now on the flip side, as a data point, one of the quickest ways of getting in trouble, right, is if properties that are owned outright, and we see this all the time, that are owned outright, you don't have that, you know, tacking of...   Brian Seidensticker (08:23) to those folks. Now, on the flip side, as a data point, I think one of the quickest ways of getting ⁓ in trouble, is if properties that are owned outright, and we see this all the time, that are owned outright, you don't have that ⁓ escrow   Jason Hull (08:41) best grow account that's making sure those taxes get paid and that people aren't paying those on their own behalf and they can end up in a tax outproposure unknowingly. Now, most people catch on, but we have   Brian Seidensticker (08:41) account that's making sure those taxes get paid. And if people aren't paying those on their own behalf, then they can end up in a tax out foreclosure unknowingly. Now, most people catch them, but we have seen   Jason Hull (08:51) seen properties that make it all the way through and at the end of the day, end up essentially losing a property due to these unpaid taxes and ignoring notices over a couple years. It seems like impossible, but it happens, right? And so it's making sure that property managers and just investors in general understand.   Brian Seidensticker (08:51) properties that make it all the way through. at the end of the day, end up essentially losing a property due to these unpaid taxes and ignoring notices over a couple of years, which seems like impossible, but it happens. And so it's making sure that property managers and just investors in general understand, hey,   Jason Hull (09:09) Hey, gotta keep monitoring, keep paying those property taxes even after the escrow is done and you have the property paid   Brian Seidensticker (09:09) you got to keep monitoring and keep paying those property taxes even after the escrow is done and you have the property paid off.   Jason Hull (09:15) off. Yeah, a lot of people get confused during the sale process and think, oh, it's all taken care of. Yeah, well for so many of us it is, right? If you have a mortgage on your house, it's all taken care of, right? It's when that mortgage is paid off, it's a happy day, but now you've got a few more things you've got to monitor you've never had to worry before. Yeah, got it. So,   Brian Seidensticker (09:22) Yeah, well for so many of us it is, right? If you have a mortgage on your house, it's all taken care of, right?

And so they're investors too. And so this could be a nice channel or avenue for them to find some additional deals or properties. So what do they need to know in order to get started with working with tax liens or tax deeds and finding property? Well, I think the biggest thing to understand is really how the sales are.   Brian Seidensticker (10:02) Well, I think the biggest thing to understand is really how the sales occur   in your area. Every state has a slightly different process, slightly different statutes, ⁓ and even within that state, counties can interpret those statutes slightly differently. And so the number one thing that I always recommend is be smart and as in talk to an attorney that is familiar with the sale process in your specific area. ⁓ It's an   Jason Hull (10:08) state has a slightly different process, slightly different statutes, ⁓ and even within that state counties can interpret those statutes slightly differently. And so the number one thing that I always recommend is be smart and as in talk to an attorney that is familiar with the sale process in your specific area. ⁓   It's an unregulated space, meaning you don't have to have a license. There's nothing you have to do to participate.   Brian Seidensticker (10:30) unregulated space, meaning you don't have to have a license. There's nothing you have to do to participate. If you have got   Jason Hull (10:37) you've got capital, can go jump on one of the auction platforms and start buying. But that's also a quick way of maybe getting into a property you shouldn't have. you had spoken to an attorney that knows what they're doing, they might have advised you on submitting those pit holes to a lawyer. So that would be mine and one recommendation is start there. Now, if you're not quite ready,   Brian Seidensticker (10:37) capital, you can go jump on one of the auction platforms and start buying. But that's also a quick way of maybe getting into a property you shouldn't have. And if you had spoken to an attorney that knows what they're doing, they might have advised you on many of those pit holes to avoid. And so that would be my number one recommendation ⁓ is start there. Now, if you're not quite ready,   I think the next best thing, in my opinion, is we do, I do interview ⁓   Jason Hull (11:00) think the next best thing in my opinion is we do, I do interview.   Brian Seidensticker (11:03) attorneys in different states.

Okay, so let's get back into tax liens and tax deeds. Now, how could property managers start to educate their clients on this so that they can get more properties in their portfolio?   Brian Seidensticker (13:10) So, one, I guess a quick note, just listening to that note from Vendoroo. ⁓ This is the first I've heard of it and it sounds fantastic. So it's definitely one I'm gonna check out after this. That's cool. So, sorry, I was thinking about that. How does Tax Sale Resources help these folks?   Jason Hull (13:10) So, well, I'm gonna use a quick note just listening to that note from Ben-Dur-Roo.   Hahaha   So, sorry, I was thinking about.   Yeah, property managers, they're one of their primary goals. What gets them access to more deals is just being connected to more investors. They want to get more clients and they want their existing clients that they love that want to get into more property, help them find more property more quickly. So how can property managers start to educate their clients, these investors on   tax liens and tax deeds, what would be a good way for them to start being self-educated enough that they could go and educate them about this so they can create more business?   Brian Seidensticker (14:02) Yeah,   I mentioned our website with resources section, but there's I host a podcast as well called Tax Sale Insiders where I'm interviewing industry professionals, interviewing attorneys, interviewing folks that are real and legitimate in the space. And I started that podcast because there wasn't a whole lot of real and legitimate information out there. ⁓ Now, truth be told, it's it's   Jason Hull (14:07) to the podcast.   folks that are real, legitimate space. And I started that podcast because there wasn't a whole lot of ⁓ real and legitimate information out there. ⁓ Now, truth be told, it's it   Brian Seidensticker (14:29) can be pretty, ⁓ what does my wife say? ⁓ If you want any assistance in going to bed at night, it's probably a good podcast to listen right before bed because I'm interviewing attorneys, right? it's,   Jason Hull (14:29) can be pretty. What does my wife say? If you want any assistance in going to bed at night is probably a good podcast to listen right before bed because I'm interviewing attorneys, right? They're not super thrilling.   Brian Seidensticker (14:45) are not, you know, small episodes of very high level of information. gets pretty deep, right? But for anyone that is legitimately wanting to get in the space, it is outstanding. ⁓   Jason Hull (14:45) These are not small episodes of very high level information. gets pretty deep, right? Yeah. But it's legitimately wanting to get in space is outstanding. Got it. It sounds   like a good step maybe to check out the podcast, if there are, you know, check out your website, see if there's any attorneys that maybe you've connected with in a particular market. But regardless, they need to find a local attorney and maybe a good   strategy for some of my clients listening and others would be to go find that local attorney and maybe do a little event with them. Bring your investors to the table. It could be a Zoom event, a virtual event, but bring this attorney. Be the interviewer. Make it a little bit more interesting. You'll have to be the interesting one, it sounds like. And interview them and ask the attorney to help you put together something that would be mutually beneficial for you, the attorney.   and for the potential mutual client that you could share. sounds like a good strategy to start getting into some of these deals.   Brian Seidensticker (15:48) Absolutely, there's, you know, while tech sales occur nationwide, right, and they there might be slightly different processes, but it's something that I'd say everybody could look into. It's not isolated to one market or another. can be a tool utilized, right, for anybody in the space.   Jason Hull (16:06) So explain your services, your sites, how can, besides just doing research, how else can these facilitate what they're trying to accomplish here? So really what Tax Sale Resources is today is it answers all the basic questions that there weren't any answers to when we first got into space, right? was over a decade and a half ago. But at the time, and I say simple answers, things like...   Brian Seidensticker (16:19) So really what Tax Sale Resources is today is it answers all the basic questions that there weren't any answers to when we first got in this space, right? This is over a decade and a half ago. But at the time, and I say simple answers, things like when   are these auctions taking place? Where are they taking place? What are the properties associated with these auctions, right? And what are the information associated with those properties? Because typically, definitely at the time and still today, what's   Jason Hull (16:34) When are these auctions taking place? Where are they taking place? What are the properties associated with these auctions? And what are the information associated with those properties? typically, definitely at the time and still today,   Brian Seidensticker (16:46) but published as a list of partial numbers. So that doesn't tell you a whole lot. Partial numbers and tax amounts do. And so what we've done is compiled that all into, I haven't gotten trouble for this yet, it's a Zillow style platform where it's all loaded with all of that information. And so   Jason Hull (16:46) what's published is a list of parcel numbers. that doesn't tell you a whole lot. Parcel numbers and tax amounts do. And so what we've done is compiled that all into, I haven't got trouble for this yet, it's a Zillow-style platform where it's all loaded with all of that information.   Brian Seidensticker (17:01) if you're after a specific asset type, which I think property managers could certainly in their area say, hey, I want to target these parts of town. I want to target these types of properties with   Jason Hull (17:02) If you're after a specific asset type, which I property managers could certainly in their area say, hey, I want to target these parts of town. I want to target these types of properties   with certain square footage and number of beds and baths. You can settle that criteria up and the system will tell you here's what's going up for sale in given moment in time. And those types, it seems simple, That's a massive task coming from somebody that it all together and have a great team.   Brian Seidensticker (17:11) you know, certain square footage and number of beds and baths, right? You can set all that criteria up and the system will tell you here's what's going up for sale, right? At any given moment in time. ⁓ and those types, it seems simple, right? And that, that's a massive task, right? Coming from somebody that put, well, ⁓ put it all together, right? And have a great team monitoring   Jason Hull (17:31) monitoring that, but it's 8,000 plus auction a year, know, are millions of properties. And so it's a massive task.   Brian Seidensticker (17:31) that. ⁓ but it's 8,000 plus auctions a year. It's, know, millions of properties. And so it's a massive task. So   Jason Hull (17:39) So we simplify that, right? And that's essentially think of tax and resources as once you kind of know what you're doing in this space, right? So go do your research, to attorney, right? You've got your model, right? What you're looking for, you're looking to target. Then the platform can be all of the information for you to be successful from there. We like to call it all of the tools for knowing   Brian Seidensticker (17:39) We simplify that, right? And that's essentially think of tax resources as once you kind of know what you're doing in the space, right? So go do your research, talk to attorney, right? And you've got your model, right? What you're looking for, what you're looking to target. Then the platform can be all of the information for you to be successful from there. We like to call it all of the tools for knowing not   your knowledgeable space or knowledgeable investors in the space to actually be successful. And that's really what tax resources, the platform is now.   Jason Hull (18:01) not in nodule space, not investors in the space to actually be successful. And that's really what tax resources the platform is.   Now, that kind of dovetails into typically, right, this is one of the issues that some investors may come and get up against is a very cash intensive acquisition strategy because you have to typically have cashier checks, right, capital on hand, they have the auction, you don't have...   Brian Seidensticker (18:09) that kind of dovetails into typically, right, this is one of the issues that ⁓ some investors may come up against is a very cash intensive acquisition strategy because you have to typically have ⁓ cashier's checks, right, capital on hand, day of the auction. You don't have 30   days to go close. Now there's some states where you can put a deposit down, but in general, most of the country works under a   Jason Hull (18:29) ⁓   Brian Seidensticker (18:36) as is sale right then and there. I've actually even participated in auctions where they pause the auction and they won't continue until the person that won it comes down and provides their cash to purchase that asset. ⁓ Most folks, right, you don't have millions of dollars laying around. And that's really where Mountain Earth Capital, which is the other side of the house, came   Jason Hull (18:47) Wow.   Brian Seidensticker (18:57) about, which is working with local investors in helping provide the capital and   Jason Hull (18:58) came about, which is working with local investors and helping provide the capital   Brian Seidensticker (19:03) in acquiring those properties. ⁓ Now, I'll stop short in saying that we're all lender. We're not a lender. This is not a lending scenario, but we can be a capital partner for folks that want to use this as an acquisition strategy and have a model that is already successful or have a great ⁓ model in mind and want to pursue it because we can be the capital that   Jason Hull (19:03) and acquiring those properties. Now, I'll stop short and say we're lender. We're not a lender. This is not a lending scenario, but we can be a capital partner for folks that want to use this as an acquisition strategy and have a model that are either A, already successful, or have a great ⁓ model in mind and want to pursue it. Because we can be the capital that   Brian Seidensticker (19:26) on the day of action and buying those assets.   Jason Hull (19:27) on the day of action and buying those assets   Brian Seidensticker (19:30) in kind of a bridge type scenario where you have an end goal in mind. And so that's what Mountain North Capital is, is the access to the other major problem, right? The harder problem. We solved the easy questions and problems back in 2010 and then in 2020 we solved the second half, which is the capital aspect for folks that want to participate in this acquisition strategy.   Jason Hull (19:30) in kind of a bridge type scenario where you have an end goal in mind. And so that's what Bound Worth Capital is, is the access to the other major problem, right? The harder problem. We solved the easy questions and problems back in 2010 and then in 2020 we solved the second half, which is the capital aspect for folks that want to participate in this acquisition strategy.   Got it. Do some get involved with lenders trying to do these deals or hard money lenders or? Yeah, I think there's probably three avenues of, let's say four.   Brian Seidensticker (19:57) I think there's probably three avenues of, I'd say four avenues   of capital, And if I were to rank them in the least cost, if you have cash on hand, great, right? That doesn't cost anything. If you can get a line of credit out on some other asset or assets, right? Then that's a least cost effective or cost.   Jason Hull (20:07) Right, cash is king.   Brian Seidensticker (20:21) least costly ⁓ avenue, hard money lenders are another one, right? Where, if you've got credit available and have those hard money lenders that you can utilize, that might be one that is available. ⁓ I would caution though that not caution, but not all hard money lenders are aware and comfortable with tax sales. So that's something you got to work through with them. And then most folks don't have access to those or you have access to those until you kind of max all those out, right? And then   Jason Hull (20:22) least costly avenue.   one that is available.   Okay interesting so   Brian Seidensticker (20:47) You know, our, our source of capital is a very different source of capital allows folks to continue buying when typically folks have to stop buying and run out of other sources.   Jason Hull (21:01) Yeah, so they've got to find the cash, they've got to find the funds to be able to do these deals and they move quick, like real time sometimes at these auctions. How do these auctions differ from the foreclosure auctions and some of these sort of deals?   Brian Seidensticker (21:10) Yes.   I'd say they're similar for, so for most folks or folks that are familiar with mortgage foreclosures, a lot of time, this procedures are very similar. ⁓ now the biggest difference is the type of title that you get at these auctions. And this is why banks don't typically touch these types of assets. Cause you're essentially buying a quick claim deed. Now that quick claim deed comes with headaches, right? You have to potentially do some quiet title, which is probably the most common thing that you got to deal with. ⁓ and you.   Jason Hull (21:17) I'd say they're similar. So for most folks, there are folks that are familiar with mortgage foreclosures, a lot of times, these procedures are very similar. Now the biggest difference is the type of title that you get at these auctions. And this is why banks don't typically touch these types of assets, because you're essentially buying a quick claim deed. Now like quick claim deed comes with headaches, right? You have to potentially do some quiet title, which is probably the most common thing that you got to deal with. And   you...   Brian Seidensticker (21:45) may   or may not most of the time you don't have to deal with any other liens on the property. Right. And so those are things that most people don't understand. That's also a reason why a lot of hard money lenders don't really like the space and also a reason why banks won't touch it. Right. They don't want to go through the effort of learning all of those things at the scale that we're talking. Right. Because there, you know, there's probably four to five billion dollars of real estate sold like this annually, which   Jason Hull (21:46) may or may not most of the time we don't have to deal with any of the liens on the property. Right. And so those are things that most people don't understand. That's also a reason why lot of hard money lenders don't really like this space. also a reason why banks won't touch it. They don't want to go through the effort of learning all of those things at the scale that we're talking. Right. There's probably four or five billion dollars of real estate sold like this annually.   Yeah. There's plenty for most of the folks listening but for banks that's small drop.   Brian Seidensticker (22:10) is plenty, right? For most of the folks listening, but for banks, that's a small drop in the bucket compared   Jason Hull (22:15) budget compared to traditional real estate. And so that's one thing to keep in mind is the the actual ad there, the logistics of ⁓ registering for the sale, participating in the auction, right? That's all very similar, right? Underwrite properties, that's no different. The biggest difference is when it comes to underwriting the title, right? You have to keep that in mind. That's also one of the things that Mountain Rock Capital   Brian Seidensticker (22:15) to traditional real estate. And so that's one thing to keep in mind is the logistics of ⁓ registering for the sale, participating in the auction, right? That's all very similar, right? You underwrite properties, that's no different. The biggest difference is when it comes to underwriting the title, right? You have to keep that in mind. And that's also one of the things at Mountain Earth Capital.   provides is we understand that it can kind of people   Jason Hull (22:39) provides is we understand that it can kind of help.   Brian Seidensticker (22:42) avoid pitfalls because we're interested in making sure that they're successful also. ⁓ That's the biggest difference is just the additional underwriting involved on that.   Jason Hull (22:42) people avoid pitfalls because we're interested in making sure that they're successful also. That's the biggest difference is just the additional underwriting involved   on that one. Got it. So maybe it would be a good first place to start would be to leverage the expertise of Mount North Capitol, go through one of these processes before you start trying to wing it on your own, perhaps. Yes, mean, I guess without completely tuning our own horn.   Brian Seidensticker (23:06) Yes, I I guess without completely tooting our own horn,   I would recommend that obviously I'm biased, but for folks that are somewhat new to the space, but at least understand real estate, understand how to manage that real estate, which ⁓ majority of listeners fall into that bucket and just want to utilize this, then Mountain Health Capital can be the perfect partner to work with in that regard.   Jason Hull (23:14) that are somewhat new to this space, but at least understand real estate, understand how to manage that real estate, which majority of listeners fall into that bucket and just want to utilize this, then Mount of Capital can be the perfect partner to work with   in that regard. Got it. What are some of the big questions that people have when they start getting involved in this that they should be aware of?   Brian Seidensticker (23:36) well, we've, we've covered some of them already, but it's like, what are, what are the other, I'll say unknown unknowns, right? Of like, what, what should I be aware of that I haven't asked about, right? And we've touched, you know, the hate, you know, making sure that you speak with attorney, right? Making sure that you're actually underwriting every property. And I don't worry about this as much for, for tax deed buyers because they're used to underwriting properties. There's a, on the taxing side, there's, there's kind of a   Jason Hull (23:37) Well, we've covered some of them already, but it's like...   say unknown unknowns, right? Like what should I be aware   Brian Seidensticker (24:05) a myth out there that there's value in every tax lien sold. And that's not the case because there's tax lien sold on worthless pieces of property. So underwrite your property just like you would normally, ⁓ make sure that you understand the title aspect, ⁓ you know, of, of the property that you're acquiring and what other I would call garbage are you going to have to deal with? ⁓ and then, you know, just making sure that you have a valid and good exit ramp.   Jason Hull (24:06) myth out there that there's value in every tax lien sold and that's not the case because there's tax liens sold on worthless pieces of property.

And then you can hold it, you know, for the term of however long you want to own that rental property. Right. And we've worked with several folks that are using that strategy of working with us in that, in that short period of time. And that's like.   Jason Hull (24:34) We're not interested in long-term hold strategy. We want to be that, hey, let's buy the property. Let's get it stabilized.

Yes, I think if you do it the right way, you do your research, right, and you don't just blindly go start buying items, then you'll be successful. Where people typically get burned is they look at Zillow for pictures. Well, these properties are distressed, right? These are more distressed than mortgage proposals.

Well, in the last three years, know,   Brian Seidensticker (25:37) first went delinquent through the foreclosure process, they could have had a fire in the back and it's a tear down. These are all things that maybe normal real estate investors don't think about, but that is the type of assets that you might encounter in this space. So it's just doing your research like you should, or any real estate investor should.   Jason Hull (25:37) it first went delinquent, right, through the portfolio process, they could have had a fire in the back and it's a tear down. These are all things that maybe normal real estate investors don't think about, right? That is the type of assets that you might encounter in this space. So it's just doing your research like you should, right? Or any real estate investor should. Do these always have to be done in person? Is there a way to do this?   any of these remotely or is that just dependent on some markets?   Brian Seidensticker (26:03) So the auction platforms in attendance typically can be done remotely. that's   part of working with Mountain Earth Capital is some of the many of the auctions we still get great deals are live. But that's part of the services we provide is actually having bidders that attend the auctions. And so if you're in California, for example, and you want to participate in auctions in Texas, typically you wouldn't be able to do that. But through our program, you would. ⁓   Jason Hull (26:13) Many of the oxygen-re-stemming great deals are...   So if you're in California, for example, and you want to participate in auctions in Texas, typically you wouldn't be able to do that, but through our program you would.

I thought I was done racing this year… but apparently Montana had other plans. Two weeks after Allison Mercer introduced me to cross country running, I found myself signing up for the Montana Cup — an annual, statewide, adult cross country throwdown where Bozeman, Missoula, Billings, and the rest of the Montana cities go head-to-head for glory.In this episode, I talk about my first hard 5K in twenty years, how I tried to re-train my calves after the Appalachian Trail, and whether my 35-year-old self can outkick my 14-year-old PR. Spoiler: probably not.But that's not all — I also recap my Halloween weekend crewing at Javelina Jundred, where I became the self-proclaimed Ice Daddy, lost a costume contest as a horse, and ended up pacing a stranger to his first 100-mile finish while dressed as Santa. Because of course I did.There's a life hack, a shout-out to my sponsors, a Blue Jays World Series dream, and an announcement for the return of Month of Jeff and the Jeffrey Awards.So grab a coffee (CS Coffee, obviously), lace up those Janji shorts, and join me for another chaotic, slightly overcaffeinated episode of the Free Outside Show.Chapters00:00 The Montana Cup and Cross Country Racing02:41 Post-Appalachian Trail Recovery and Training05:55 Halloween Race Experience and Costumes11:25 Pacing a Runner and Celebrating Success14:07 Life Hacks and Upcoming EventsSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside
