Steven J Butala: This is episode number 1,987. Today we are talking about where to send your land mailers in 2024. And a little later in the show we'll talk about tackling your biggest land business concern. We all have them, even Jill and I have them. It's going to be interesting to see what hers are, I know what mine are. Jill K DeWit: I have personal concerns and then I have land business concerns. Let's just be clear. I will share the professional ones today, I'll leave the personal ones for another day. Steven J Butala: Oh, I want to hear the personal one. No, they're going to work their way into the show I'm sure. Jill K DeWit: Oh, they probably will. That's true. Steven J Butala: Each week on the show, we answer questions from the Land Academy member Discord forum, review land acquisitions from our weekly member webinars, and we take a deep dive into two land-related topics by popular request. Jill K DeWit: Yep. Steven J Butala: Let's take the first question. Jill K DeWit: All right, Greg Rhodes, "Wrapping up my fourth year with Land Academy," congratulations. Did you see, I don't know if you read our newsletter, but that we highlighted all the first year people, we highlighted the five-year people. I was just... Sorry Greg, I want to pause for just a moment and just talk about that for just a second. The right people get in here and you're with us, man, and we're on this journey together. And as your business grows and your needs change and whatever it is, which we are right here with you, we've been that way from day one. "Hey, we need this product." "All right, I think we can do this." "Hey, we need help solving this problem." "Okay, we could do this." "Oh, hey, DataTree is not working, we need help with another alternative data solution." "All right, we got this." If I was on my own, I'd be- Steven J Butala: Oh geez. Jill K DeWit: I would not be successful. Steven J Butala: I'll tell you, that's what we want. That's what Jill and I want. We want this to be doing transactions with the same people forever. We are not in the business of onboarding- Jill K DeWit: Turn and burn. Steven J Butala: 42 new people who don't understand the relevance of a deed in a real estate transaction. So thank you Greg, we're glad you're here too. Jill K DeWit: Same. Thank you. All right, so back to Greg's question. So, "Wrapping up my fourth year in Land Academy and each year has been more profitable than the previous, more than doubled my profits this year compared to last. I gave my," what a great note, "I gave my W2 boss my letter of resignation yesterday. That was exciting. Looking forward to keep building in the years to come." Steven J Butala: I thought he was going to say, "I gave my W2 boss the middle finger." Jill K DeWit: Maybe that was hidden in the resignation. It was drawn very lightly on the paper. Steven J Butala: Congratulations, Greg. We're super glad you're here and let us know, and this goes for anybody who's been a Land Academy member for more than a year, let us know if you have a new product idea, if there's something that you think we're better together. Jill and I have a whole big list, in fact we're meeting on this right after we record this,
On episode sixty nine of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim talk about being busy and randomly share some thoughts they have about finding the right significant other. Then Matt cons Tim into drastically mispronouncing a listener's name before they begin their drum topic, walking through their home recording processes. They round it out with the topic of jealousy, which quickly transforms into the topic of contentment.

Derek's back and we're celebrating by verbally wailing on a poor, innocent listener. Sorry Greg, but you done messed up.
This week we're drinking Christmas Ale from Breckenridge Brewery, eating some chocolate covered cherry cookies baked by Anthony, and visiting Gioia's Deli and Eovaldi's Deli for some delicious sandwiches. We also discuss our family cookie traditions, a questionable word of the week, and Colin and Anthony get in a bit of a tiff. (It gets resolved- don't worry!)
Summer is here for our teachers! Well, almost here. (Sorry Greg.) And they are in a reflective mood. First up: what does the alleged assault of a journalist by a politician in Montana say about our societal norms? Does it change, at all, how teachers feel about counseling kids to not use violence to solve their problems? Plus, we tackle teen pregnancy. The story of one girl who was barred from walking at her school’s graduation went viral. What do schools do well (and not so well) about dealing with the challenge of teen pregnancy? Finally, our teachers look back on the students--that for better and worse--made an impact on them this year.
Show Summary In this episode Leslie interviews Laura about her cynical reaction to the book Essentialism and together they find a way forward into the changes they need to make to dramatically improve Laura’s life. It’s a raw, real look at the mental obstacles that do their best to keep us from our best and what we can do to overcome them. Show Resources Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg Mckeown Calvin & Hobbes Totoro style by Josh Mauser Download the transcript for Episode 11 here. Show Highlights No music today; we are grieving the passing of our friend Sarah, who was taken all too soon by cancer. This is part 2 of the new series best titled: “How The Camachos are Changing Their Lives,” spearheaded by our reading of the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. The problem with the kind of book that is Essentialism, is that it can be discouraging and overwhelming when you are at your breaking point (which is where Laura is definitely at). Apparently the proper pronunciation of Greg McKeown’s last name is “Mick-YONE.” We both got it wrong on-show. Sorry Greg! Laura feels “inspired yet cynical” about this whole process. Leslie gives a brief summary of the first two parts of the book: Part I – Core mindset of Essentialist You have the power of choice You need to practice discernment Assess the tradeoffs between opportunities/problems Part II – Explore Escape – get away and get mental space Look – objectively and critically Play – embrace the wisdom of your inner child Sleep – “protect the asset” Select – give yourself extreme criteria to ID the most important stuff in life Our current work is to create the mental capacity to even be able to explore. Laura wants to point out how incredibly privileged the premise of the book is – that we even have the luxury of deciding how we spend our time rather than just living in hand to mouth survival. She also admits that she doesn’t have as much of that privilege as she would like. Leslie points out that because we have that privilege, we need to honor it by making best use of our excess time and energy. Laura feels like she’s been in survival mode forever, and reading a book that seems to say “It’s your fault that you’re in survival mode; just get your priorities straight!” Laura feels like she has a “vital many” and that the few things that really feed her get trivialized. She doesn’t see how it’s possible to narrow down to a “vital few.” It seems impossible to Laura to find the time and space to enact upon the five things. She mainly gets mad when she hears about sleep being “The option you’re not choosing ‘cause you’re dumb.” As a parent, it’s usually not by choice that you are being awoken throughout the night. “I feel like my whole life is being run by all these other demands.” But Laura doesn’t know how to choose otherwise. If she chooses not to do any of the responsibilities she currently has, either Leslie has to shoulder them (on top of everything else he’s already loaded with) or the whole family suffers. Escape Laura’s escape would look like a month in Italy with one or both of her best friends. “I might not come back at the end of the month.” A more realistic version: Leslie could take over supper and bedtime with the kids twice a week so Laura could leave the house. She would need exercise and mental space. No technology. Play Laura remembers loving playing video games with Leslie, but in this season that type of checking out doesn’t feel right/healthy to her. Laura admits that she hates imaginative play with her kids. But she does feel rewarded by their appreciation when she does engage them in the thing they love the most. Sleep Neither Leslie nor Laura seem to have a solution for this area of their lives. They are trying everything. Probably time is their only ally. Select Laura’s not in a place to think about selection; too much brain fatigue. Laura’s takeaway from her reading is feeling “Defeated and angry.” “It’s all stuff I want to do! But it feels so unattainable that I crash and burn as soon as I start to think about it.” Leslie’s words of hope: “If it was insurmountable, the world would be drastically different. There wouldn’t be a lot of the things we enjoy today if parenthood actually destroyed the majority of people’s lives.” Laura is a leader, and she can’t fire her team. (Plus, they are kinda useless most of the time!) 28:56 – Laura threatens to punch Leslie. Leslie’s main message to Laura: “You’re not alone. Other people have solved these issues. We are going to get you there, too.” The first step is to heal Laura’s mental exhaustion. Leslie’s mandate for Laura: How sad would it be if success for the Camachos meant 4 people thriving and Laura burnt out and miserable? That isn’t success! It’s time to bring Laura up to speed. Every day this week, Laura will be out of the house from 5-7pm. Leaving Leslie to do supper and wind-down with the kids. This means no housework, no errands, no work. Pure Laura time. She needs to be intentional with at least half of it; the other half can be play time. Every morning at 7:30, Leslie and Laura will have a 15-minute Standup meeting to go over the day before and what is up for the current day. What I’m going to do for you Laura offers to not leave Leslie hanging regarding what to feed the kids. Leslie promises to treat Laura like a client – in a good way! Support Glimmering Podcast
