Would you like to attend a live recording of Florida Uncut? Be sure to save the date of July 12, 5–9 PM for a new exhibition "Blazing the Trail: From Strand to Slough" and a live recording of "Wild Takes: Florida Uncut Podcast Live" from 5-8pm at the Wild Space Gallery in St. Pete! I'll be there interviewing the folks behind the scenes of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation's last expedition, and upcoming film. In this episode, we catch up with Joe Howard, one of the original trekkers on the O2O: Path to Connection expedition. Joe reflects on his journey across the Ocala to Osceola Wildlife Corridor, an ambitious, 57-mile boots-on-the-ground adventure aimed at raising awareness for one of the most critical wildlife linkages in Florida.We're speaking with Joe, a career Florida state parks manager, nearly two years after the trek because the story didn't end on the trail. Just last week, the Florida Cabinet approved a major land acquisition in the O2O region, securing nearly 78,000 acres of high-priority conservation land. It's a huge victory for Florida's Wildlife Corridor, and for the vision Joe and the O2O team helped bring to life.Tune in as we talk with Joe about the power of storytelling, what it meant to be part of the expedition, and how it feels to see real policy action happen in a place he walked to protect.Watch O2O: Path to Connection hereRead more about the approved funding for the 77,877 acres of land here. 

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫美团向左，电商向右 ，来自猫头鹰侃战略。看清一条20年为单位的主线，也就看清了长期的美团和线上线下的新格局一、过去20年过去20年，电商经由效率革命，把大量消费搬到了线上。淘宝早期，在某种意义上没有压缩太多中间环节，依然是小商家从批发商拿货，做大了可能可以从厂家拿货，在线上售卖，顶多压缩了一个环节。早期淘宝更多是压缩了合规成本和省了线下租金。京东对中间环节的压缩更多，直接品牌商-顾客，压缩了一批、二批，或者经销网络末端的分销环节。由于京东把中间环节干掉的比较多，所以他不用压缩合规，所以东哥一直都把社保挂在嘴上；也是因为商业模式上中间环节压缩的多，也有足够的空间重资产投资物流-配送体系，在“速度”上做到电商时代的极致，当然综合成本又推高了一些，未来社会化物流水平整体提高后，京东的配送端差异化就会减弱。拼多多是把效率做到了极致，一方面直连工厂 - 顾客，把中间环节，甚至品牌方的营销成本也干掉了；另一方面利用社会化资源进行倾销，所以价格是最低的。抖音在链条长短上天然吃亏，因为多了达人层级；并且还有视频、直播间的高运营成本，所以只能走差异化，而不是拼低价，才算的过账。二、未来20年今天，流量见顶线上成本变高；线下结构性效率提升，批零模式的，二批这环各行业都穷途末路；代理经销模式的，分销环节也优化的差不多了，都从早期的大代理走成了县级经销厂家直签，物流、供应链金融、数字化提效，线上、线下差距已经明显缩窄了，随着监管引导，不排除还能进一步缩窄。现在看美团。美团虽披着互联网的外衣，本质上还是要把它理解为一家“线下公司”，在全国各地有无数办事处和业务员地推，干的就是借用互联网和移动互联网的红利，把汇集在线上的流量，搬到线下的店里，顺带把店里的货和菜在1小时内运回下单的人家里。无论是团购，还是外卖，再到现在的闪购，都是这样，本质上美团一直站在线下商家这边，而电商始终站在线下商家的对立面。我们分餐饮和实物两块来看。1、餐饮肯定很多人认为，明明美团在抽线下，尤其是餐饮店的血。理性来看，美团当然有责任的，但有限。餐饮行业难的本质，是供给侧原因。电商刚起步的时候餐饮大盘1万亿不到，今天是5万+亿，一方面需求大幅增加，另一方面供给增加的更多，同质化严重。餐饮是进入门槛极低、规模效应也极低的红海行业。10多年前购物中心业态比例是50%-60%零售，20-30%餐饮，20%休闲娱乐，到了今天，购物中心业态比例50%-60%餐饮，10%-20%零售，20%-30%休闲娱乐。这种结构的倒转不是美团造成的，恰恰是电商造成的，零售业态开不下去了，加上这几年教培机构被干掉，社会性裁员也多，餐饮进入门槛又最低，一举又涌入了大量人进来干餐饮。不管有没有美团和饿了么，餐饮行业都是一个极度血腥的行业，没竞争力的餐饮企业终归会倒闭，大部分餐饮企业存活期间就是6个月-2年。有了美团，头部餐饮企业是受益的 —— 因为标准更高、评分更高、更易上榜，且作为重点客户，美团、饿了么和抖音给他们的扣点和佣金也更低。而经营差、食材差、服务差的餐厅，评分更低，就被挤出去了。没有美团的时候，差的商家还能宰客、做一次性生意，活的不错，现在就很难做到了。然而美团运营能力太强，把O2O干垄断了，这时就成了那“恶龙”之首 —— 尤其是餐饮当中最广泛的中小商家眼里的恶龙，做的越烂的餐厅越讨厌美团。而且经济学规律也会在这时候发生作用 —— 一个巨头，面对几百万家分散的商家，议价能力自然巨大，所以很多成本比如配送费，在产业经济学规律的支配下，一定会转嫁到商家端。美团的社会价值显然是大的，它错在哪里？错在美团让太多本就不该吃得起外卖的人，吃上了外卖。本就应该只有2亿人能经常性地享有“外卖服务”，现在却是5亿人经常点外卖。那这额外的3亿人是谁在补贴？早期是美团和饿了么，现在早就变成了商家。换句话说，是上百万商家在请客，让3亿本不该这么高频率吃外卖的吃外卖。上百万商家对美团怨声载道背后是个人性问题。社会总效益的增加与自身利益的受损是无关的。美团其实增加了餐饮行业的总利润和总体就业。假设没有外卖，很多人要么自己做饭，单身或者情侣做饭是很不经济的，无论丰富性还是时间的投入；要么吃泡面等方便速食，更不营养 。数千万的新增就业：几百万骑手的就业以及多出的数百万餐厅的就业，更多人不做饭带来的不只是外卖的增加，还有堂食的增加，因为年轻人没必要学着做饭了，不会做饭，在不想点外卖的时候就去餐厅吃了。但是由于餐饮业进入门槛太低，增加的供应太多又分流了，导致平均每家餐厅的利润和就业下滑。大量中小餐厅实质性补贴顾客而利益受损，社会正效益以大量餐厅经营者的经济负效益为代价。个人利益受损，喷谁？只能喷那个带头的恶龙。这困境其实和中国制造业如出一辙，只不过制造业没有一个为首的“美团”罢了。这个BUG，餐饮板块内部修复不了的，如果美团真的今天就此消失了，倒闭的餐饮企业一定会更多，会释放出上千万人的失业。美团因此必须用建立起来的庞大配送团队，去创造额外的社会价值，修复上满的BUG，增加综合正外部性，于是我们聊第二块：实物。2、实物。套用和餐厅分析类似的框架，我们直接上结论 —— 电商巨头为整个社会创造的正效益，是以线下无数小商家的经济负效益为代价的。美团闪购接下去20年要做的事情，恰恰就是通过餐饮建立起来的即时配送网络的支配地位，帮助线下的小商家，将本应在线下满足的更好，或者说线下也能满足，却因为线上的虹吸而损失掉的生意，重新带给线下的商家。送果切、送花、送药、送冰啤酒、送充电器数据线等等，这些生意原来既不在电商上、也不在线下，这类即时性的需求，只是最佳切入心智的原点需求，比较容易对接顾客，培育用户习惯。一旦真正建立起来了，很多被延迟的满足，比如电商下单后两三天才能到的标品的数码、箱包、玩具、小物件… 都可以通过闪购从线下店里拿到，从而得到即时性的满足。这才是即时零售的未来：被延迟了的需求得到即时性的满足。第一部分就分析了，由于线下链条也已经缩短，线下的租金也在和线上的流量成本趋同，外加品牌方有意识的引导线上线下错款，或者同款同价，线上下价差已经缩小了，差的就是心智中认知到，还存在一种叫“闪购”的东西，可以30分钟拿到电商上所展示的商品。美团未来的战略就是要实现帮助线下无数小商家从电商巨头手里20-30%的生意 —— 对于线下的商家而言，这不是存量切换，也不是补贴消费者，而是实实在在的现金流增量。一旦美团做到了，也就同时满足了电商社会效益与线下商户的效益的再平衡，以及对自身带来的社会负外溢效应的救赎。修改补充一块直营的业务：小象、歪马这些直营的，虽然跟线下商户是竞争关系，但更多属于补充优质供给、提升体验和服务、培育闪购用户习惯的意义，仔细洞察的话，“线上需求”和“线下供给”未必一致，以啤酒为例，线下渠道现在的供给侧重是百威、青岛、雪花为主，而线上需求是精酿、大乌苏、鲜啤等；本质上受2点影响：首先是需求侧是顾客不同，比较容易接受新习惯闪购的，年轻人更多，年轻人对产品喜好和流通渠道大盘不一致；其次是供给侧快消日化巨头把控渠道，反应较迟滞，饮品、啤酒、日化、零食是被农夫、百威、百事、宝洁等巨头主导的，他们对市场需求变化反应是滞后的。所以美团直营，一方面为了解决“人货匹配”，更好满足需求；另一方面为了测试运营 —— 仓的运营效率更高，侧重拣货，线下门店侧重陈列。等美团打磨成熟了，会引导线下商家做相应的布局调整；还会把小象、歪马等开放加盟，授权出去，只把供应链这种有规模效应也更专业的抓在手上，其他的如选址、经营、配送则分给社会，创造就业。三、京东为何难受抖音是差异化的，顾客端创造了独特的购物体验，品牌端创造了独特价值，货架电商取代不了。拼多多在标品白牌上是无解的，对于价格敏感性用户，它满足的最好。淘宝在长尾需求上依然有巨大价值；而且在服装类目上也不可取代。天猫是官方旗舰店，是个品牌就得有一个。京东就最难受了，3C数码固然难以撼动，但太低频了，而且是标品，标品拼多多可以用百亿补贴硬掏京东的用户，再用高频的日杂品类补回来。“快”和“好”这一差异化，又随着社会化物流的综合效率提升、以及假货逐渐减少而减弱。加上京东的战略能力本身不强，一直是同质化地跟进别人的业务，又不深耕，进入的领域除了创业的3C数码和图书是第一，其他的没什么能绝对主导，连即时零售本身也是京东最早正式布局的，所以脆弱性比较高。现在美团来掏家了 —— 掏“快”的心智，掏即时性的满足，掏正品保障，现在售后服务虽然不好，即时零售是四方供应，分别是品牌方、线下商家、美团平台、骑手，等品牌方和线下商家足够重视，服务也就跟上了，那对京东的压力就更大了。别说大件外卖小哥不能送 —— 大件不需要小哥送，线下的苏宁、红星美凯龙，乃至商家自己都有配送团队，到时候送货的不是美团或蜂鸟，而是货拉拉。线下商家要的，只是一个流量入口，以前被线上平台垄断了，现在美团带回来了。对京东而言更致命的是 —— 它是自营啊，怎么防？自己大举搞美团这一套前置仓，就打了采销 —— 自身利润来源，还会打掉自己物流中心的利用率和周转率，搞太猛会让自己一下子到固定成本线之下；不搞呢，就是慢慢失血。而抖音、淘天、拼多多，无所谓的，人家是平台，商品交易总额就算真的受到影响也不会致命，更何况在需求满足方式上，与闪购错的也更开。所以京东打外卖，企图延缓美团的脚步，也只能说是困兽之斗了。

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Emily Chang. Emily's financial adventures began in her early 20s in the most unexpected way. One frigid night, Emily found a young girl huddled by the roadside, clearly beaten and wearing nothing but a windbreaker. She took the girl to a diner, offered her a meal, and then invited her to stay in her spare room for the night. That one night turned into a week, then months, until Emily could help her find stability. Emily's family worried the girl might steal or harm her, but Emily chose to see the potential for good. She helped not just that one girl but went on to assist 17 individuals over the next 23 years, transforming lives one by one. Emily is a global commercial leader with 24 years of experience spanning QSR, Retail, Hospitality, Creative, Tech, and FMCG industries. An acknowledged thought leader in Digital Customer Experience, Workplace Culture, and Business Strategy, Emily holds an exceptional track record of accelerating global brands. She is a bicultural leader with proven success bridging China and U.S. cultures. Before joining VML, Emily was CEO of McCann Worldgroup in China, where she looked after 450 team members across four agencies located in three offices. She developed new strategic and digital O2O capabilities to partner with clients like IKEA, LEGO, The North Face, and Innocent Juice. Prior to McCann, Emily was CMO of Starbucks China, where she oversaw all commercial functions including Digital Flywheel, Loyalty, Sales & Partnerships, Category Management, and Studio. She led the commercial teams that brought O2O experiences to life: Shanghai Roastery Augmented Reality, Starbucks Delivery, and Digital Gifting. Prior to Starbucks, Emily served as Chief Commercial Officer for InterContinental Hotels Group, Greater China where she led transformation of brand experience, loyalty offering, data and BI, and OTA strategy/implementation to turn around share and become the #1 hotel brand in China. As the first executive in China for Apple Retail, she oversaw the APAC region, expanded the flagship footprint, and developed the Apple Asia retail operating model. Emily began her career at P&G, where she worked across all three business units, from upstream innovation to retail and digital marketing at Walmart. Emily believes passionately in living with intention and leading with authenticity. She's a servant leader who gives back by teaching and sharing with next gen leaders; she has delivered four TEDx talks and spoken at other industry-leading events like Fortune Most Powerful Women. She recently published a best-selling book called “The Spare Room,” telling the stories of 17 children she and her family have cared for in their spare room.

Today we're going to bring you an inside look into the B2B merchant services and fintech arm of Razer, Fiuu.  Established back in April 2018 as Razer Fintech, Fiuu has grown to become the one of the largest O2O or Offline to Online digital payment networks in emerging markets and has processed over billions of dollars in total payment value.  For one thing, Fiuu recorded a Total Payment Volume, or TPV of over US$6.6 billion for FY 2023, positioning it as one of the largest payment processors in Southeast Asia.  Its business encompasses two verticals namely payment services and reload services. In terms of payment services, the firm supports global scheme cards and over 110 payment methods to power online and offline payments for global and regional blue-chip merchants in Southeast Asia.  On the reload services front, the firm has built the region's largest offline payment network with over 1 million physical acceptance points. This includes cash-over-counter services like the fulfilment of e-commerce purchases, bill payments and telco reloads and merchant acquiring services for third party e-wallets.  Why are we talking to Fiuu you might ask? Well, the firm was rebranded from Razer Fintech to Fiuu in March this year to reinforce its intentions to become a leading force in the future of digital payments.  But how far does the rebranding initiative allow the firm to move away from its gaming heritage?  Meanwhile, a report by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company noted that digital payments now make up over 50% of transactions in Southeast East Asia. But what opportunities does this provide to Fiuu and Razer? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Limeng Lee, Executive Chairman, Fiuu, and Chief Strategy Officer, Razer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, we have our Top 3 space news stories from May to mid-June - and they don't disappoint! All the other space articles we've been gathering will be available in the description here. Vast Space is ambitiously shooting for 2025 to launch their Haven-1 space station module into orbit and have a crew of 4 stay for 30 days in orbit. Who is helping them send their space station up? How is the station going to allow for life support? Artemis 2 will have alot of firsts, including the first person of color, the first woman, and first Canadian to orbit the Moon. But it will also be the first to use Lasers to send HD footage back to Earth and improve how much data can be sent thanks to the O2O technology. Saturn's Moon Enceladus is spewing water into space, but recently a paper was published that shows those plumes contain a key ingredient for the building blocks of life. The benefits from the Cassini Spacecraft continue to this day, and the find of phosphorus in the plumes opens our minds to more possibilities for life in the universe. And points us to a very likely place to look in our own Solar System.

Bret Keisling shares a clip from the "Owner to Owner" podcast. Host Jesse Tyler speaks with Matt Cropp, Executive Director of the Vermont Employee Ownership Center (https://veoc.org/), about the 2023 Annual VEOC Conference on June 1, 2023. VEOC23 is a great chance to learn about worker co-ops, ESOPs, EOTs, and employee ownership in general, in a beautiful setting that has a much more intimate feel than national and most regional conferences. This year's keynote speaker is Derek Peebles, Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy, Inclusive Economy of the American Sustainable Business Network. Derek's work situates employee ownership within the context of strengthening place-based finance and promoting restorative investments in local economies. O2O host Jesse Tyler will be co-presenting at two sessions: "Trials and Tribulations of Returning to Working In Person & Impact on Employee Ownership Culture," and "What is Working in Recruiting, Onboarding, Learning and Development as the Workforce Evolves."

The upcoming Artemis II mission promises a lunar spectacle unlike any we've seen before, and it's all thanks to some groundbreaking laser technology. Launching aboard the Orion spacecraft from NASA's Space Launch System rocket in November 2024, the mission is set to ferry NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hansen on a ten-day round trip that'll venture beyond the moon. The landmark mission will feature the revolutionary Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O), marking the first time a crewed lunar flight will make use of advanced laser communications technology. The O2O system is designed to transmit high-definition images and video of the lunar surface back to Earth at an unprecedented downlink rate of up to 260 megabits per second. This significant leap from the grainy footage captured during the Apollo missions half a century ago could provide us with real-time, high-definition views of the moon.

When Keith Cassant retired from the U.S. Army in 2019, his intention was to transition straight into a role in law enforcement. After learning he was physically ineligible, Keith had to find a new focus. Since retiring, Keith has held four different roles. His current position with Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is a great fit, and Keith shares the lessons he learned along the way. Like many veterans, Keith made the initial mistake of putting all his eggs in one basket. After being denied the opportunity to serve in law enforcement, Keith was faced with an unknown future. Keith leveraged every available resource, including Onward to Opportunity (O2O). Thinking he would pursue his Project Management Professional certification, he changed his mind after hearing an O2O briefing about the field of Human Resources. Realizing that he wanted to be in the “people business,” Keith successfully landed his first role with Fleet and Family Support. Within a year, Keith began a new position with Wells Fargo as a branch manager. Having a desire to work again for the federal government, Keith leveraged his connections and accepted a role with the U.S. Coast Guard. Using his network once again and clearly communicating what types of roles he was interested in, Keith found a job with CISA.With an extensive employment history in just under 4 years, Keith encourages people to think about the following 5 things when considering a job: Money-Hours-People-Location-Type of Work. From this list of 5, prioritize your top 3 considerations. Initially, Keith assumed that the type of work he pursued wouldn't be a factor in his overall satisfaction but through his job experiences, he realized it was indeed very important to him. Another lesson learned is the idea that casting a wide net will yield many options. The truth is, applying to different industries and different roles within those industries decreases your chances of landing a job. Take the sniper's approach instead; study and focus your target and then take calculated shots. Tailor your resume to each industry and role. It's okay to have a couple of different focuses but understand that they will need different approaches. Remember companies are hiring for a specific need with a specific role that needs to be filled. Failure is part of the process. Your first resume may be ineffective at showcasing your skills. You may not advance beyond the application process. That interview you land may not lead to a job offer. Be mentally prepared for rejection and have a resilient mindset. Find healthy outlets to recharge yourself. Network. 3 out of the 4 jobs that Keith has held began with his network. The veteran community is a large network, so reach out and schedule conversations with your connections. Know that, in some cases, you may need to take a step back to gain knowledge and expertise in a new career field. Remember that your ability to adapt and learn will propel you forward in your next career. You are not alone in this transition. Leverage every resource that's available to you. Find at least one mentor. And don't give up!Subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://tinyurl.com/llforvets22.You can connect with Keith on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithcassant/SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A FIVE-STAR REVIEW and share this to other veterans who might need help as they transition from the military!

Bret Keisling shares an episode of the Owner to Owner podcast. O2O host Jesse Tyler is joined by Steve Storkan of EOX, Matt Cropp of the Vermont Employee Ownership Center, and Michael Palmieri of the Ohio Employee Ownership Center for a wide-ranging conversation about the work of state centers around the US. Each describes what their organization does, and what drives them personally to work to grow employee ownerships. Further show notes are availble on our website at https://www.theesoppodcast.com/post/225-o2o-and-the-eo-state-centers They discuss what each organization has in common: outreach, education, and advocacy, and they all discuss what sets the groups apart. They discuss what it will take to grow employee ownership, and why it's so important to their societal views that EO thrives.

Transcript:Steven Jack Butala:Rolling video. Three, two. Steve and Jill here.Jill K DeWit:Hello.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 from the Valley of the Sun.Steven Jack Butala:Today Jill and I are going to talk about the power of skip tracing neighbors around land that you own. Yesterday I talked a little bit about or I had a prelude to this episode about why some young people, and rightfully so, I think this isn't like some type of archaic approach to buying real estate by sending actual paper in the mail. In a lot of ways they're not wrong, but it's still the most effective way that I know to contact sellers.Jill K DeWit:And legal way.Steven Jack Butala:Legally blindly contact sellers and see if they want to sell their property. And incredibly effective.Jill K DeWit:And respectful too.Steven Jack Butala:Yeah.Jill K DeWit:I don't want people calling me. Come on now.Steven Jack Butala:Right.Jill K DeWit:We just got through election time. How many phone calls did you hit ignore on?Steven Jack Butala:I mean, 98% of the... Probably if you're like on me, vast majority of stuff that crosses your path from an advertising standpoint or content standpoint on your phone, television, or whatever you choose to let in from a content standpoint is still unwanted.Jill K DeWit:Right.Steven Jack Butala:But if you get a text from somebody that says, "Hey, you know that property that you have down in XYZ County? I just bought the property next to it and I'm selling it for a lot cheaper than you bought yours. So if you're interested, before I put it on the market, just let me know if you want to do cash deal." That's something I'm actually really interested in. I buy and sell a bunch of clash, like cars, and if I got texts like, "Hey, you bought that '68 fill in the blank, and I've got another one that's really similar to it a lot cheaper," you better believe I'm going to respond to that text. So this can be really effective and, in my opinion, completely appropriate and legal. 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 K DeWit:By the way, last year a ton of people came to us. You know what? I want to talk about concierge for a second. You talked about O2O yesterday. I'm going to talk about concierge right now. So this is a little plug for a little company that we have Offers 2 Owners and a new service called Concierge Data and Concierge Data Plus. You're going to have to help me with the plus, with the correct definition of plus. But basically, here's the gist.Many of you have come to us because, not only was mail merge making your head hurt, but then downloading and scrubbing the data to get it to that point and then get it in the mail and then do some back end scrubbing on pricing comps and things like that, that was really making your head hurt. And we also had a lot of heavy hitters that came to us and said, "I just don't have time. I know exactly what I'm doing and how to do it, but it takes me some time." So we create a company within our mail company and it's Concierge Data. So if you want to find out more about that, send a note to support at landacademy.com or support at offers2owners.com and they will get right back to you and hook you up with that.Steven Jack Butala:Yeah, I was Concierge Data's first customer and it really worked because I was tired of doing mailers. If I'm tired of doing mailers, believe it. And it works out great. We still use it every month.Jill K DeWit:Yeah. So my point is, whether you're brand new to this or experienced at it, whatever, we could take that off your plate. All right. Back to the question here. Steve wrote, "Anyone in here using Traction as a business process system? And if so, what kind of numbers are tracked on your scorecard?" Here's a reply. Matt wrote,

You are listening to the second episode of our second season. It is an episode I, Antje, was particularly looking forward to, since it focuses on many questions that are central to my personal work in the labor movement: How can we move from digital outreach to offline engagement? How do we get someone from the WhatsApp group into a meeting? These are questions, we need to answer if we want to use the full potential of our movements.   Over the years, I have seen very good campaigns that wasted parts of this potential. There are these campaigns that have very well developed digital outreach strategies, with specific target groups, and easy to access tools for first contact, but then they fail to move people beyond the digital spaces and down the conversion funnel of engagement.  At the same time, I've encountered other campaigns that have well developed connections into their community, well developed slogans and demands but lack connection to the  digital spaces that their respective bases of concern are actually at - a bummer, one can say. So, in this episode, we are talking with Bianka Nora, deputy director at the Online-to-Offline Strategy Group (O2O) about their work. The organization formed in 2017 as a project of United for Respect –  a retail worker organization in the US, particularly known for their Walmart Campaign, fighting for better payment and working conditions in one of the biggest retail chains in the US.  O2O began as a project to train organizers at United for Respect, who were confronted with strong anti-union legislations and a hostile employer. In this context, O2O taught innovative methods and tools to strengthen the important work organizers were doing on the ground - and helped them to some remarkable wins.  Over the years O2O has worked with dozens of labor unions, workers centers, and other social justice groups to develop high–impact campaigns to improve working conditions, pass legislation, and more, all by focusing on crafting digital outreach strategies to amplify the engagement strategies of organizers. For us, it's particularly important to look at digital organizing as a tool, rather than a model, that can dramatically expand our collective potentials when used as part of a broader organizing and empowerment strategy.

How to Schedule Your Days Successfully (ReAir LA 1529) Transcript: S Jack Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hello. S Jack Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. S Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how to schedule your days successfully. Jill DeWit: All right, brain, go for it. S Jack Butala: Full disclosure, this is one of my favorite topics, and here's why. Not because I love to live in my calendar, but I love to make money. And this is the only way I know how to actually run a crew and make money and sleep at night, quite honestly. Jill DeWit: I thought you were going to say, I love to make fun of Jill. S Jack Butala: No, I don't want to ... Jill's amazingly good at this. She doesn't realize it, but we'll make fun of her in a minute. Jill DeWit: I kind of am. I mean, I do, on the big stuff. Maybe the little stuff, I kind of slack on, but remember I have my reasons why. We've talked about that. S Jack 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. And if you're already a member, please join us on Discord. Jill DeWit: Sandy wrote, "I just joined Land Academy a couple months ago. Honestly, I have stuck with my mailing procedure. Oh, I stuck with my mailing procedure instead of starting from scratch with Offers 2 Owners." I'm curious what her old procedure was. I hope it wasn't handwriting letters with the family at dining room. S Jack Butala: You'll see. There's a reason this made it into- Jill DeWit: Oh, it's coming? Okay, good. I'm excited to see what this is. Okay, Sandy. Here we go. "Unfortunately, I received an email today that states I have to send my mailers first class." Oh, that's funny. S Jack Butala: But it's hilarious. Jill DeWit: Here come the questions. "Number one, is it standard practice to send first class?" S Jack Butala: Not at all. Jill DeWit: "Number two, does O2O require that offers be sent first class?" S Jack Butala: Heck no. Jill DeWit: "Number three, how many people send first class versus standard?" S Jack Butala: Very, very few, if that. Jill DeWit: "Four, other than the obvious price difference, has anyone tested to see if there are any other differences, ie. performance, ease of mailing, et cetera? Thanks so much for any help you can give, Sandy." Sorry. S Jack Butala: If you're over 80, this matters. Jill DeWit: I don't think it matters. S Jack Butala: If you're over 80 and you're receiving a letter. I don't even look at how it's stamped ever. I mean, none of us do. Jill DeWit: No. No, we don't. S Jack Butala: First class is something that happened like in World War II and, I'm not exaggerating. No. And it goes on, everybody had some stuff to say about this, me included actually on ... And if you want to see it all- Jill DeWit: Was she licking stamps? S Jack Butala: ... it's either he or she, we don't know. And no, they were using click to mail. And so Click2Mail, it's not even a competitor, but it's another way you can send mail for twice as much money, and it's very popular with non-members of Land Academy and everybody changes over. And even Sandy now goes on to say at the bottom of the string. It was too long for me to include in this. Jill DeWit: It said, so I get it? I hear ya? S Jack Butala: So Click2Mail went into this whole thing about, they sent it to all their people saying, "If you're sending these, this and this, and here's the regulations from the Post Office," and they cited it all. Jill DeWit: How sneaky. That's sneaky, making you think you have to do that. S Jack Butala: Our other members just jumped right in and took screenshots of how this is all fiction. Jill DeWit: Wow.

How to Schedule Your Days Successfully (ReAir LA 1529) Transcript: S Jack Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hello. S Jack Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. S Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how to schedule your days successfully. Jill DeWit: All right, brain, go for it. S Jack Butala: Full disclosure, this is one of my favorite topics, and here's why. Not because I love to live in my calendar, but I love to make money. And this is the only way I know how to actually run a crew and make money and sleep at night, quite honestly. Jill DeWit: I thought you were going to say, I love to make fun of Jill. S Jack Butala: No, I don't want to ... Jill's amazingly good at this. She doesn't realize it, but we'll make fun of her in a minute. Jill DeWit: I kind of am. I mean, I do, on the big stuff. Maybe the little stuff, I kind of slack on, but remember I have my reasons why. We've talked about that. S Jack 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. And if you're already a member, please join us on Discord. Jill DeWit: Sandy wrote, "I just joined Land Academy a couple months ago. Honestly, I have stuck with my mailing procedure. Oh, I stuck with my mailing procedure instead of starting from scratch with Offers 2 Owners." I'm curious what her old procedure was. I hope it wasn't handwriting letters with the family at dining room. S Jack Butala: You'll see. There's a reason this made it into- Jill DeWit: Oh, it's coming? Okay, good. I'm excited to see what this is. Okay, Sandy. Here we go. "Unfortunately, I received an email today that states I have to send my mailers first class." Oh, that's funny. S Jack Butala: But it's hilarious. Jill DeWit: Here come the questions. "Number one, is it standard practice to send first class?" S Jack Butala: Not at all. Jill DeWit: "Number two, does O2O require that offers be sent first class?" S Jack Butala: Heck no. Jill DeWit: "Number three, how many people send first class versus standard?" S Jack Butala: Very, very few, if that. Jill DeWit: "Four, other than the obvious price difference, has anyone tested to see if there are any other differences, ie. performance, ease of mailing, et cetera? Thanks so much for any help you can give, Sandy." Sorry. S Jack Butala: If you're over 80, this matters. Jill DeWit: I don't think it matters. S Jack Butala: If you're over 80 and you're receiving a letter. I don't even look at how it's stamped ever. I mean, none of us do. Jill DeWit: No. No, we don't. S Jack Butala: First class is something that happened like in World War II and, I'm not exaggerating. No. And it goes on, everybody had some stuff to say about this, me included actually on ... And if you want to see it all- Jill DeWit: Was she licking stamps? S Jack Butala: ... it's either he or she, we don't know. And no, they were using click to mail. And so Click2Mail, it's not even a competitor, but it's another way you can send mail for twice as much money, and it's very popular with non-members of Land Academy and everybody changes over.

The Reality of Pricing a Land Blind Offer Campaign (LA 1814) Transcript: Steven Jack Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill K DeWit: Good day. Steven Jack Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill K DeWit: and I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California still. Steven Jack Butala: Today I talk about the reality of pricing a land blind offer campaign. Pricing, pricing, pricing. Jill K DeWit: Geez, God, I just can't get away from it. Why are we always talking about pricing? Steven Jack Butala: Look, this is really timely for me. Jill K DeWit: Man. Steven Jack Butala: I feel compelled. Jill's going to do her nails during this entire episode. Jill K DeWit: Totally. Steven Jack Butala: I feel compelled to happily report that I very successfully completed, not only completed about a 12,000-unit mailer very recently and got it to O2O on schedule, but as a result ... Well, I'll get into it in a second. Jill K DeWit: Yeah. Steven Jack Butala: But a lot of really, really cool little micro changes happened throughout that process that's allowing me and the business partner that Jill and I have taken on to a bunch of these real estate deals ... Jill K DeWit: Oh, this latest mailer? Steven Jack Butala: ... To very effectively not just complete this mailer, but to really, we put a whole system in place to get to really never stop mailing out offers. Jill K DeWit: Yeah, we do that now and then, we shake it up. We'll bring in other people, try to divide up the work. It doesn't always go that way, but we sure try. Steven Jack Butala: What does that mean? Jill K DeWit: Oh, no, because we bring other people and sometimes I end up doing the work. And you'll hear about it tomorrow in the case study. It's not about you. Steven Jack 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. And I just mentioned offers to owners, but I hope you know by now, Jill and I have a full-blown commercial printing company that's completely dedicated to facilitating your offer campaigns. So we get it printed and in the mail, the entire deal start to finish. It's called offers2owners.com. You simply need to go to support@offers2owners.com and take a look around and see if it's for you. We send out between 700,000 and 1 million offers a month. So it's really worked out as a product for our members and non-members too, people in the business. Jill K DeWit: Can I just add a little note on that? Steven Jack Butala: Sure. Jill K DeWit: Because you just recently did a new order for ourselves, and they're constantly getting better. And it was kind of fun for you to show me, "Look at our company." Steven Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill K DeWit: "This thing's looking really good. Look how on if they are and how professional. I'm like, "This is awesome." Steven Jack Butala: The person that runs that operation, his name's Aaron Belt. We've been working with him for years now. And he's, like we talked about yesterday, he's got that personality type where we just all understand each other. He's making constant improvements, to the point now where he doesn't tell us any more. Jill K DeWit: We're just surprised, we're like, "Wow." Steven Jack Butala: Or just checks with us. There's a few parameters that we have about the number of promotions that we ... But outside of that, boy, he just is an order machine. Jill K DeWit: Mm-hmm. Michael wrote, "Hi, friends. There are many folks here who unexpectedly had a large number of buyers bid on a recent purchase." I wonder what that was. "When this occurs, do you actively focus on the same area and remail the same list but with much higher offer amounts, knowing that there are buyers actively looking in the area?" Buyers who bid on a recent purchase. Steven Jack Butala: Do you understand the question? Jill K DeWit: No.

欢迎收听雪球和喜马拉雅联合出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。听众朋友们大家好，我是主播匪石-34，今天分享的内容名字叫我相信：下一个互联网，仍然是互联网，来自互联网怪盗团。2006年，我在纽约的一家对冲基金混实习，主要工作是给交易员端咖啡。后来因为端咖啡的姿势不对，经常把盘子弄脏，连这个工作也丢掉了，改为整理世界金矿年鉴——也就是把几十本大书的内容输入到Excel里面去。这个工作很无聊，技术含量很低，但我从中第一次知道了世界上还有这么多国家，这些国家居然都是有人口、有产业的。每个星期一的午餐时间，基金会举办内部培训活动，主要是基金经理出来跟大家闲聊，回答各种各样的问题。有一天，出来闲聊的是新兴市场基金的负责人。那是个美国人，不过并不像一般的美国人那样孤陋寡闻，去过很多国家，其中既包括中国，也包括印度、巴西、南非。在讲了很多国际旅行和调研经历之后，他停顿了一下，很严肃地说：“中国过去十几年的经济发展让人印象深刻。很多人问我，下一个中国会在哪里。如果你去过中国内陆，理解中国的地区差距、城乡差距的话，就应该承认——下一个中国仍然是中国。我们现在所熟知的‘中国'，其实只是中国的一小部分而已。如果整个中国都能发展起来，那就是很多、很多个‘中国'，其规模之大、持续时间之长，会远远超过你们的预期。”从那时起，直到2021年，这位基金经理的话一直在应验，中国公司在国际分工中占据了越来越高的比例、越来越重要的地位。2021年以后，情况可能发生了变化，谁也不知道接下来会发生什么。不过，在这个瞬息万变的时代，一个预言能持续十五年，已经是非常了不起的了。在整个20世纪，看空美国的人一般而言都是失败的；在21世纪的前二十年，看空中国的人一般而言也失败了。当然，现在情况可能发生了变化，我们只能静观其变。过去的事情只能作为参考，关键是接下来要做什么。自从2021年下半年以来，我看到了无数看空互联网的言论——不止是看空几个互联网巨头，而是看空整个中国互联网行业。这些言论很真诚，言之凿凿，旁征博引，经常获得10万+的观看量和数千次的转发量。在中概股下跌了80%、恒生科技指数跌去三分之二的情况下。可惜，一切看空互联网行业的言论都是错误的。笃信这种言论的人，必将错过下一个十年乃至二十年的增长，必将错过一系列优质的投资对象，就像他们过去二十年错过了腾讯、苹果、谷歌一样。互联网是21世纪的巨灵，今后几千年的任何历史课本都不可能绕过。互联网时代将像地理大发现时代、工业革命时代一样，被视为全人类的高光时刻。严格地说，互联网比电力、内燃机和蒸汽机还要重要，因为它不仅是一种生产方式，也是一种生活方式。试想一下：在电力投入商业应用后的几十年内，我们不但拥有了各种电力设备，还拥有了电影、留声机这些奇幻的娱乐方式；电灯照明逐渐改变了我们的生物钟；电话则彻底改变了我们的沟通方式——把这些发明创造加在一起，才相当于现在的互联网。我还要强调一点：虽然人们经常讨论“产业互联网”(To B)，但未来十年最有前景的仍然是消费互联网(To C)。历史一再证明，护城河最深、发展潜力最大的公司，是那些直接接触消费者、在亿万人中建立起用户黏性的公司。认为产业互联网会取代消费互联网的核心地位的人，就像认为“硬科技”会取代互联网的核心地位的人一样，只见树木、不见森林。微软的消费级业务已经贡献了三分之一的收入和四分之一的营业利润。这家“产业互联网巨头”还在通过收购来扩大游戏业务，进入每一个家庭的客厅和卧室。苹果一直是一家彻底的消费硬件（及软件）公司，现在又通过个人空间、数字媒体、流媒体等付费服务，进一步提升收入和利润率，从而建立全世界最牢不可破的商业模式。亚马逊被认为是从消费互联网向产业互联网扩张最成功的公司，但过去几年，它在线下零售（含O2O）、生鲜电商、游戏、直播和影视内容方面的投入，要高于在云计算业务上的投入。谷歌在云计算方面的进步也很大，但是过去一年，它最引以为傲地是通过新的零售广告模式以及谷歌地图的新功能，让广告收入获得了持续增长；它旗下的YouTube在商业化方面也取得了重大进步。不要误会，我没有任何贬低“产业互联网”的意思，正如我没有任何贬低“硬科技”的意思。我只是想说，与消费互联网还能做到的事情比起来，一切其他产业都黯然失色。你是否跟某些分析人士一样，认为消费互联网已经见顶，没有新的领地可供开发了？那你就错了，因为用户圈地的结束不意味着应用发展的结束，后者还有很长的路要走呢。在虚的方面，整个互联网的娱乐内容生态才刚刚建立起来。全球的游戏玩家还只有30亿人，仅相当于互联网用户的60%；能够随时随地通过流媒体观赏长视频的人数就更少了。拜VR/AR技术和Web3.0所赐，元宇宙可能在今后二三十年内逐渐成真。我们今天在互联网上享受的娱乐之丰富，已经超过了我们祖辈最疯狂的梦想；但我们的孙辈将要享受到的东西，又将远超今日最疯狂的梦想。在实的方面，互联网对传统消费的渗透最多只进行了一半。从中国到美国，电商平台无不致力于日用食杂，并以此为基础介入上游，最终目的是改造农业这个庞大而古老的行业。在人工智能、大数据、机器人和无人机等技术的共同作用下，世界上越来越多的人将享受当日达或次日达服务；他们的线下消费体验也将得到大幅提升。在有条件的地方，消费与互联网的完全融合，将在21世纪内基本实现。每当我看到这些进步，每当我看到全世界的互联网技术人员、产品经理和运营人员在做什么，我看到的是一个生机勃勃的世界。正在过去的全球疫情，从根本上提升了企业和个人拥抱互联网、拥抱数字化生存的速度。其实，在今年年初，我是有些悲观的；可是在阅读了亚马逊、谷歌、苹果和微软的财报之后，我比以前任何时候都更乐观。我相信，无论这阵风暴要持续多久，在它过去之后，下一个互联网仍然是互联网。

Going Broke Land Investing or Not (LA1688) RERUN Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Howdy. Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about going broke land investing or not, hopefully not. This came up because somebody directly emailed me and asked me, "Am I going to go broke doing this?" And I said, "I don't know. Are you?" I mean, I can tell you... That's what this episode is about. I can tell you exactly how to go broke or how not to go broke, hopefully. And what it takes like in your soul, and in your skillset, and in your attitude, and everything. Jill has got a lot of notes too, because I think a lot of it... Jill talks to a lot more, "I'm thinking about joining, but I'm not sure yet," people. Jill DeWit: And this is one of their big concerns. Steven Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: And I tell them, here's exactly what you do then, and you won't go broke. Steven Butala: Excellent. I'm going to enjoy the show, just like you are, listener. 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: Mike wrote, "I've seen a lot of talk and varying opinions on this. When would you remail the same acreage," and he put in bold, "Same acreage in a county you've mailed before. Would it depend on days on market and activity in the county, since some places will have a quicker turnover and change of ownership. Remailing after two months, I guess you'd piss off a lot of people, and it would be too soon to get a significantly different response or change of ownership. There must be a sweet spot. Any thoughts?" Steven Butala: So this question is not addressed in our formal education program, so it comes up. In fact, it comes up every single live event. It just comes up a lot. And it's a great question. And God, I hate when people answer questions like this, but I'm going to answer it like this. It's up to you. But I can tell you what we do, and I can tell you what other people do, and both are successful. We never ever remail the same acreage county, maybe in our lifetime. Steven Butala: What we do is, if we mail a county in, let's say, it doesn't matter, Minnesota, some specific county in Minnesota, I usually mail between five and 10 acres to begin with, or some number like that, depending on how the number check comes out. There's 5,000 properties in one county in Minnesota that are between one and five acres that don't have any improvements on them. Okay, bang. I'm going to mail it. If we have success, then we'd mail five to 10 acres. If we have success with that, then we mail 10 to 20 acres or whatever. Steven Butala: I cannot think of a single time in my entire career where I went back two months later because I had a bunch of success and remailed the same thing. So every time I get questions like this, this is what I ask myself. Why would you do that? And I bet you a dollar the answer is this. Because I don't want to buy any more data. I don't want to spend any more money. Jill DeWit: That's what you think is going on? Oh, that's interesting. Got it. Steven Butala: I already scrubbed all this data. It's already all in place. I'm happy with it. I got a good response on it. I'm just going to do it again. I want to skip that whole part of my life and just send it back to O2O, or maybe just call O2O and say, "Hey, can you just mail the same thing again?" Jill DeWit: I've heard people doing this when they thought they priced it so wrong, and they want to come back with a new price, and they want to hit the same area. I can kind of wrap my head around that one. Maybe you came in and you offered too little, you offered $100 an acre, and you realize, "Oops, I should have been offering $500 an acre." Something like that. And you're like,

The Solution to All Land Business Bottlenecks (LA 1684) Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill K DeWit: Hi. Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land, investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill K DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from the Valley of the Sun. Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about the solution to all land business bottlenecks, and I would even venture to say all bottlenecks. Jill K DeWit: This is kind of like struggling week. Steven Butala: Struggling week? Jill K DeWit: I don't know. Because we talked yesterday about burnout. Today, we're talking about bottlenecks. I don't want to make it ... It's not bad week. It's not struggling week, but it's the beginning of the year. I hope you, like us, are taking a look around everything that you're doing and making sure going into 2022, am I doing it right? Am I motivated? Am I excited? Is my team excited? The goals and the things that we have forecast for this year, are we going to hit them? Are we all on the same page? And then you go, all right, what could be holding us back? What could be our bottlenecks? I want to talk about that. Steven Butala: Do you ever listen to a podcast or listen to someone speak or even read a book where everything's just, you can do this? Jill K DeWit: Oh. Steven Butala: This is how you ... You're great. You are a perfect person. Jill K DeWit: Jack Smiley, and everyone, and by golly, I like you. Steven Butala: Every single person that joins the Land Academy is successful and they smile all the way through and it's so easy. None of that's true. That's why. That's why we have a real podcast about real issues that deal ... We just are in the beginning of teaching this first year's Career Path, and everybody went around the table last week and talked about how successful they are. And then with this really negative tone in their voice, yeah, well, I only did $800,000 last year and netted 500,000 and that's not going to work for me. I'm not joking. Jill K DeWit: Isn't that funny? I know, yeah. Steven Butala: I'm not exaggerating at all. Jill K DeWit: It's true. That's why I'm giggling. Steven Butala: So that's my point. My point is we all know this works. Let's all take a minute and pat each other on the back, if that's what we need to do, Jill, here. Jill K DeWit: I didn't say that. Steven Butala: But the fact is- Jill K DeWit: I did not say that at all. Steven Butala: ... we're either going to improve tomorrow or we're not. So I don't care where you are in your business, if you're just starting or if you're not knocking it out of the park, I think improving tomorrow's in everyone's best interest, especially your own. Jill K DeWit: How about improve right this minute? Steven Butala: I see this very different than motivating employees. None of our employees listen to this, I'm sure. I'm sure they've had it. Jill K DeWit: But there's real bottlenecks and then there's in your head bottlenecks. That's how I see it. Steven Butala: But I'm really addressing not bottlenecks the topics of the show this week, because you're saying they're all negative and I just don't think they are. Jill K DeWit: Oh, we're starting off a little bit- Steven Butala: I think they need to be addressed. This stuff needs to be addressed. Jill K DeWit: Okay. I understand. Steven Butala: Before we get into it, for sure, really get into it, because I think that's how this episode is going with Jill, 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: Dave wrote, "Getting my mailers ready is by far the largest speed bump in my process. Looking to be much more efficient with my time this year. Having said that, I'd really love to hear from anyone who has used the concierge data service with O2O, Offers2Owners.

How to Schedule Your Days Successfully (LA 1529) Transcript: S Jack Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hello. S Jack Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. S Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how to schedule your days successfully. Jill DeWit: All right, brain, go for it. S Jack Butala: Full disclosure, this is one of my favorite topics, and here's why. Not because I love to live in my calendar, but I love to make money. And this is the only way I know how to actually run a crew and make money and sleep at night, quite honestly. Jill DeWit: I thought you were going to say, I love to make fun of Jill. S Jack Butala: No, I don't want to ... Jill's amazingly good at this. She doesn't realize it, but we'll make fun of her in a minute. Jill DeWit: I kind of am. I mean, I do, on the big stuff. Maybe the little stuff, I kind of slack on, but remember I have my reasons why. We've talked about that. S Jack 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. And if you're already a member, please join us on Discord. Jill DeWit: Sandy wrote, "I just joined Land Academy a couple months ago. Honestly, I have stuck with my mailing procedure. Oh, I stuck with my mailing procedure instead of starting from scratch with Offers 2 Owners." I'm curious what her old procedure was. I hope it wasn't handwriting letters with the family at dining room. S Jack Butala: You'll see. There's a reason this made it into- Jill DeWit: Oh, it's coming? Okay, good. I'm excited to see what this is. Okay, Sandy. Here we go. "Unfortunately, I received an email today that states I have to send my mailers first class." Oh, that's funny. S Jack Butala: But it's hilarious. Jill DeWit: Here come the questions. "Number one, is it standard practice to send first class?" S Jack Butala: Not at all. Jill DeWit: "Number two, does O2O require that offers be sent first class?" S Jack Butala: Heck no. Jill DeWit: "Number three, how many people send first class versus standard?" S Jack Butala: Very, very few, if that. Jill DeWit: "Four, other than the obvious price difference, has anyone tested to see if there are any other differences, ie. performance, ease of mailing, et cetera? Thanks so much for any help you can give, Sandy." Sorry. S Jack Butala: If you're over 80, this matters. Jill DeWit: I don't think it matters. S Jack Butala: If you're over 80 and you're receiving a letter. I don't even look at how it's stamped ever. I mean, none of us do. Jill DeWit: No. No, we don't. S Jack Butala: First class is something that happened like in World War II and, I'm not exaggerating. No. And it goes on, everybody had some stuff to say about this, me included actually on ... And if you want to see it all- Jill DeWit: Was she licking stamps? S Jack Butala: ... it's either he or she, we don't know. And no, they were using click to mail. And so Click2Mail, it's not even a competitor, but it's another way you can send mail for twice as much money, and it's very popular with non-members of Land Academy and everybody changes over. And even Sandy now goes on to say at the bottom of the string. It was too long for me to include in this. Jill DeWit: It said, so I get it? I hear ya? S Jack Butala: So Click2Mail went into this whole thing about, they sent it to all their people saying, "If you're sending these, this and this, and here's the regulations from the Post Office," and they cited it all. Jill DeWit: How sneaky. That's sneaky, making you think you have to do that. S Jack Butala: Our other members just jumped right in and took screenshots of how this is all fiction. Jill DeWit: Wow. S Jack Butala: So look, I don't want to blow my own horn here, but I am for a second, our horn. O2O rocks. O2O is set up to do this.

How to Jill-ify a Land Transaction (LA 1463) Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hey. 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 sweet Scottsdale, Arizona. Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how to Jillify a land transaction. Jill DeWit: You came up with this. Steven Butala: This is a sentence Jill just said before we turned the camera on, just now. Jill DeWit: Yeah. Steven Butala: "Don't go all man on me and tell me the facts and the truth." Jill DeWit: Don't tell me about the year and the make and the model and why that car is dumb. That's not the point here. Steven Butala: What is the point? Jill DeWit: I was making a comment about the car. I was skipping along the top and you're like, "No, here's why this car's bad. This is what it's worth. This is what kind of mileage it gets. This is where it won't go." I'm like, "What the heck?" Steven Butala: Don't go up all man on me. Jill DeWit: Like, "That's not the point, at all." Oh my gosh, yeah. 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, and if you're a Land Academy member, please make sure you join us on Discord. Jill DeWit: Aaron wrote, "Newbie, first mailer, stage question. Is ParcelFact or NeighborScoop required right away for due diligence? I've been looking up properties at assessor sites, and the owner info seems to be available there. Also, I think there's a site to look up FEMA flood maps, checking the parcel on Google earth is a PITA? I don't know what that is, but possible without tools. Steven Butala: Pain in the. Jill DeWit: Oh, now I know what that is. Steven Butala: Is a PITA. Jill DeWit: Okay, got it. I didn't know that. I hadn't heard that before. That's funny. Am I correct in that tools like ParcelFact and NeighborScoop are more for productivity? Can't DataTree do most of this as well. Steven Butala: Hold on a second, I have a lot to say about this. This is in Discord. Jill DeWit: Go. Steven Butala: And I answered it in Discord this way, and I'm going to answer it here as well. Jill DeWit: Right. Steven Butala: You don't need Land Academy, you don't need NeighborScoop, you don't need O2O, you don't need any of this. I never had any of it. Never. And it took me 20 years to get where I am. It can take you two months with all these tools. You have this podcast that's free. There's all kinds of free stuff. You don't need to join Land Academy. You need to look at Land Academy like an insurance policy. If you do join Land Academy and follow along here and participate and actually watch the program and ask questions, you're going to make a fortune. It's either going to click in place for you or it's not. So no, you don't need these tools. Good luck. Jill DeWit: I was not expecting that. That's like a speech you give a kid. You know what? Nope, you don't need high school, you don't need college. You want to drop out now? Go right ahead. Nevermind. Steven Butala: And eat nothing but pop tarts. Good luck, kid. Jill DeWit: Sit on the couch, buddy, but it's not going to be my couch. Good luck. Oh my gosh. Call somebody who cares. Steven Butala: I personally- Jill DeWit: That's awesome. Steven Butala: This is the truth of it. I don't want to mansplain anything. Jill DeWit: Oh yeah, that's right, don't go all man on me. Steven Butala: I'm trying to micromanage what I say. Jill thinks in sound bites. The shorter, the better. Jill DeWit: That was not in the book by the way, about me and my personality, but I'm still learning. That's good. Steven Butala: Today's topic, how to Jillify a land transaction. Jill DeWit: Okay. Steven Butala: This is the meat of the show. Jill DeWit: Would you like to man explain, mansplain? Steven Butala: I'm about to give you a bunch of compliments here.

Understanding Money in Life (LA 1412) Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hi. Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Steven Butala: Today Jill and I talk about understanding money in life. And no, this is not going to be a lecture. Jill DeWit: Okay. Steven Butala: Jill said yesterday she's concerned this is going to be a lecture, no, it's not. This title came up for me, and it obviously made it to the light of the show because people ask me stuff, all the time, and I have been walking around the planet incorrectly perceiving a couple of things for quite some time. And I think it's funny that I've been misconceiving this, so we'll talk about it in a minute here. I think people understand accounting, just because I have an accounting background, and I think people understand real estate, and it's just not correct. People need to understand, or I need to be more clear, I guess I should say. Jill DeWit: Okay. Steven Butala: Are you taking notes? Jill DeWit: I am. Steven Butala: About what? Jill DeWit: Not about that. No, I'm just taking notes and thinking about some things I want to talk about with this. Steven Butala: Nobody understands money better than Jill, and I mean that. Most of the people I've ever had any type of relationship with are true cost center, and Jill is truly a walking profit center, and I'm amazed by her all the time. Whether it's at the grocery store, or buying a primary residence, or buying a trailer park, she just gets it. Jill DeWit: Thanks. Steven Butala: And I don't think there's any better compliment, well, there's probably some better compliments, but- Jill DeWit: Yeah, thanks. Steven Butala: For a former accountant, there's no better ... it's hard to find a person like that. Jill DeWit: Thank you. Steven Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvesters.com online community, it's free. Jill DeWit: For the record, I think I learned ... there's some stuff that you taught me along the way, and really helped with, so thank you. I don't get all the credit, you helped. You're good, you're awesome. All right, James wrote- Steven Butala: This is a repeat question. Jill DeWit: Oh. Steven Butala: I made a mistake. It's actually from last Tuesday's question. Jill DeWit: Let's sub it with a different question. Or make up a question. Steven Butala: Yeah, make up a question is what I was going to say. Jill DeWit: Okay, let's make up a ... if I were going to read a question today, want to just read this one? Steven Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: Okay, I'll read this one. Steven Butala: Okay, sorry. Jill DeWit: Okay, Luke M. wrote, "Hey guys, I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas. I'm looking into Landmasters for helping me with mail merging and data scrubbing. I want to hear everyone's input if they have experience with them, or any suggestions on another VA service with these features to help me with the data part of the business. I've heard Jack and Jill mention outsourcing what you aren't good at, and focus on the strengths to be more productive. I suck at the data side of the house, and I was curious if anyone had a better company for these components, or if anyone's had a bad experience with Landmasters' services. Thanks so much, and happy new year." I want to add one little thing first real quick, don't worry anybody about mail merging, because O2O, offers to owners, will automatically do that for free. Now, that's- Steven Butala: Landmasters, here's the story of Landmasters. It's a group in the Philippines, run by an amazing person named Jillian. And she and her group, they contacted Jill and I years ago, at least two years ago, right? Jill DeWit: Oh gosh, more like four or five years ago. Four, I want to say. Steven Butala: And so, at first, I'm like,

Undoing Old Real Estate Habits (LA 1374) Transcript: Steven Jack Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hello. Steven Jack Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny southern California. Steven Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about undoing old real estate habits. Yesterday, Jill and I were lucky enough to be the guests on somebody else's show, where they primarily flip houses, and not to our surprise, but maybe to you as a listener your surprise, we were explaining to seasoned real estate professionals why sending out mail is the best way to create deal flow for yourself, and to create the best opportunity to find the cheapest property on the buy side, whether you're going to renovate it or not. There were a lot of jaws just on the desk, on the other side of the camera where people were just saying... These are people that are older than me. Jill DeWit: It was cool. It was flipping America. I don't know if you guys know I'm Roger Blankenship, I think it is. We had a really great conversation. Steven Jack Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: Before and after, and then I got a really nice followup email from him. Steven Jack Butala: Oh, you did? Jill DeWit: Yeah. It's going to tie into this. Got a nice email, after the show going, "Wow, oh my goodness." Literally saying, "I just learned some stuff." I'd love to talk about it more when we get into the show, because this is what happens. Steven Jack Butala: Good. Jill DeWit: We're undoing old real estate habits, and there's just another professional that said, "Oh my gosh, there's a little bit better way I could be doing this part of my business." Steven Jack Butala: Yeah. It made me personally question who our customer is, Land Academy, but we'll talk about that in a second, too. Jill DeWit: Okay. Steven Jack Butala: I thought I knew, but like everything, I didn't really know. 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: Matthew wrote, "My name is Matt. I'm 24 years old, and I'm just finishing graduate school. I have some money saved up and I'm looking to start my land business before jumping into a full-time career. I have always dreamed of being an entrepreneur, and I'm particularly interested in real estate. Combine the two, and now I have a land business. Cheers, and good luck to all." That's super cool. Steven Jack Butala: On land investors, when people join our group, we ask them to just- Jill DeWit: Introduce. Steven Jack Butala: Yeah, and that's what this is. Jill DeWit: Say hi, introduce yourself. Steven Jack Butala: What this question or this comment caused me to think about, personally, and if you don't know already, Jill runs all the real estate part of all of these companies, and I handle the education part of it, and the lines of business, like NeighborScoop and O2O, and things like that. Jill gets to do all the fun stuff. Jill DeWit: Oh, right. Steven Jack Butala: I get to do the administrative stuff. Jill DeWit: Thanks. Last time I checked, you picked. You picked what you want to work on. Steven Jack Butala: This is causing me, lately, especially with the show we did yesterday... We're talking seasoned real estate professionals. It's caused me to question who our customer is, and I've decided I'd love to hear your opinion on this, Jill, because it ties right into Matt's thing here. Who's our customer? Who's the Land Academy customer? And I think there's two. Jill DeWit: Oh, I think there's many. Steven Jack Butala: Oh, really? Jill DeWit: Oh gosh, yes. Steven Jack Butala: You can't profile it? Jill DeWit: Nope. Just like our buyers, I stopped trying to assume I know what people want. The first time I assumed that no one's going to want this property way out here, you got to take a four wheel drive to it, I sold it so fast.

Going Broke Land Investing or Not (LA 1350) Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Howdy. Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about going broke land investing or not, hopefully not. This came up because somebody directly emailed me and asked me, "Am I going to go broke doing this?" And I said, "I don't know. Are you?" I mean, I can tell you... That's what this episode is about. I can tell you exactly how to go broke or how not to go broke, hopefully. And what it takes like in your soul, and in your skillset, and in your attitude, and everything. Jill has got a lot of notes too, because I think a lot of it... Jill talks to a lot more, "I'm thinking about joining, but I'm not sure yet," people. Jill DeWit: And this is one of their big concerns. Steven Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: And I tell them, here's exactly what you do then, and you won't go broke. Steven Butala: Excellent. I'm going to enjoy the show, just like you are, listener. 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: Mike wrote, "I've seen a lot of talk and varying opinions on this. When would you remail the same acreage," and he put in bold, "Same acreage in a county you've mailed before. Would it depend on days on market and activity in the county, since some places will have a quicker turnover and change of ownership. Remailing after two months, I guess you'd piss off a lot of people, and it would be too soon to get a significantly different response or change of ownership. There must be a sweet spot. Any thoughts?" Steven Butala: So this question is not addressed in our formal education program, so it comes up. In fact, it comes up every single live event. It just comes up a lot. And it's a great question. And God, I hate when people answer questions like this, but I'm going to answer it like this. It's up to you. But I can tell you what we do, and I can tell you what other people do, and both are successful. We never ever remail the same acreage county, maybe in our lifetime. What we do is, if we mail a county in, let's say, it doesn't matter, Minnesota, some specific county in Minnesota, I usually mail between five and 10 acres to begin with, or some number like that, depending on how the number check comes out. There's 5,000 properties in one county in Minnesota that are between one and five acres that don't have any improvements on them. Okay, bang. I'm going to mail it. If we have success, then we'd mail five to 10 acres. If we have success with that, then we mail 10 to 20 acres or whatever. I cannot think of a single time in my entire career where I went back two months later because I had a bunch of success and remailed the same thing. So every time I get questions like this, this is what I ask myself. Why would you do that? And I bet you a dollar the answer is this. Because I don't want to buy any more data. I don't want to spend any more money. Jill DeWit: That's what you think is going on? Oh, that's interesting. Got it. Steven Butala: I already scrubbed all this data. It's already all in place. I'm happy with it. I got a good response on it. I'm just going to do it again. I want to skip that whole part of my life and just send it back to O2O, or maybe just call O2O and say, "Hey, can you just mail the same thing again?" Jill DeWit: I've heard people doing this when they thought they priced it so wrong, and they want to come back with a new price, and they want to hit the same area. I can kind of wrap my head around that one. Maybe you came in and you offered too little, you offered $100 an acre, and you realize, "Oops, I should have been offering $500 an acre." Something like that. And you're like, "And this is such a good area.
