At the age of 18, Jacob Blank has been able to build a seven-figure real estate investment company. Along the way, he has gained many other high-level skills and he yearns to pass his knowledge on to others to help change their lives for the better, just like he has changed his. Jacob has been around the real estate business since he was twelve as his father is a Real Estate Broker/ Investor and has worked in this industry since before Jacob was born. Jacob joins me today to share how he got started in the real estate business and managed to wholesale his first house when he was 17 years old. Jacob explains how he got started flipping houses with his dad and how he learned about wholesale deals. He talks about how he almost gave up on his first deal after a seller tried to take advantage of him.  Jacob also shares some of the strategies that he used to teach himself about flipping and wholesales, and what you should do if you are just starting. "You fully need to understand the concept of whatever it is going to be, right? If you're going to go trade stocks-if you're going to go and get into crypto, why would you just put your money in there if you don't understand how the market works?" – Jacob Blank "It's only been like two years and it's just crazy that from your first deal, in such a short amount of time, you can become really, really successful." – Jacob Blank "I'm still in the trenches. I'm still closing deals. I need to make sure that these guys are 80% of me. So that way they can get as many deals that I'm getting." – Jacob Blank "If you're trying to figure out how to start, learn everything you can because right now there is more free knowledge out there than ever before.” – Jacob Blank This week on Fliptalk: What got Jacob interested in flipping houses and wholesale deals at a young age The steps Jacob took to prepare for his first wholesale deal How Jacob was almost played by a seller after signing a contract Why knocking a deal out of the park on your first try is not always a good thing Jacob's strategies to getting deals How Jacob manages his business today and his goals for the future What Jacob recommends you do if you're just starting out Why Jacob is expanding out of Arizona, and into Texas and California Resources Mentioned: The Call Genius Connect with Jacob Blank: Connect with Jacob Blank on Facebook Connect with Jacob Blank on Instagram Connect with Jacob Blank on TikTok Jacob Blank's Youtube Channel Rate, Review, Learn and Share  Thanks for tuning into the FlipTalk podcast!

In this week's episode of the Follower of One Podcast, Mike talks with Jacob Lonsinger. Jacob has been in insurance for over 7 years and currently working on starting his own local Farmers Insurance Agency in Oklahoma! Faith is extremely important in Jacob's work and Mike gets a chance to learn more about him and his goals.    Episode Breakdown   1:05 - Meet Jacob Lonsinger 2:35 - God's Influence in Jacob's Life 6:25 - Jacob's Faith in His Work 8:55 - Jacob talks about Follower of One  10:55 - Jacob Talks about the Marketplace Mission Trip 13:55 - Jacob's Encouragement on the Marketplace Mission Trip 17:05 - What Jacob learned during the Mission Trips 20:15 - Jacob's Ideas to Make an Impact     Be Intentional    What can we do if the actions of the Marketplace Mission Trip aren't natural to us? One of the best ways to accomplish a task outside of your comfort zone is to be intentional about how you do it. Not everything comes naturally to us, especially acting on a belief in which you fear you might receive negative feedback. I know it is especially difficult for me. Yet, Jacob sheds light on this subject and explains that we need to make a consistent and clear effort to accomplish our goals. Just like in our jobs, we should be wholly focused on completing the task at hand to the best of our abilities and the Mission Trip is no exception. Mike and Jacob discuss the Marketplace Mission Trip and give a brief explanation of what it is all about so make sure to listen in to get the details if you haven't already!   Integrity   Building trust around you is important. Especially in Jacob's line of work, trust, and integrity becomes an integral part of how he operates his business. Faith becomes a natural correlation to trust. We have to trust that the Lord is with us at all times right? And in doing so we have to live out our faith every day in a way that holds integrity close to our hearts. In this Interview Jacob talks about his mentor and how having the integrity to do what is right for the client always comes first and if we hold true to our beliefs then everything else will fall into place. How have you shown action that represents your integrity? Are you inspiring trust in others the same way you would like them to trust you? Think about these and let us know some of the ways you have accomplished this on our networks like Facebook or Mighty Networks!   Connect With Jacob Jacob's Linkedin Local Farmers Insurance Website   Connect With Follower Of One Join us over in our Online Community, get social with us; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Confession: I am far crueler to myself in my own head than I would ever dare be to a friend. Anyone else? Who are you to lead anyone else when you can barely lead your own family? Who are you to speak up when someone else could say it better? Who are you to preach God’s grace when you struggle to simply love your own people? Do the questions accusations sound familiar? In chapter 3 of Relentless, I tell the story from Genesis 32, of a wrestling match between Jacob and God. Jacob, refusing to let go until he’s blessed, wrestles with God through the night. Come morning, God does indeed bless Jacob, but he also leaves him with something else A limp. While several details of this story still elude me, one thing is certain: despite securing the firstborn blessing, riches, and multiple wives, it’s clear that Jacob is desperate for God. “He has, for all intents and purposes, the good life. But he’s still missing something.” The thing about those pesky limps is that every single one of us walks with one. The struggles vary in nature and degree—neediness, detachment, defensiveness—but no one is exempt. *hint: thinking we are exempt from a limp is a limp. While we all ache for our weaknesses to be met with grace and patience, it can be equally as challenging to meet the ahem somewhat annoying ahem dysfunction of others with the same empathy and compassion we crave to receive. If we dig deep enough, however, the flip side of annoyance is often empathy; our approach determines the results. Where annoyance leads to dissonance, empathy fosters connection. Where impatience breeds conflict, forbearance births solidarity. “…there’s beauty in the hanging on to God, and beauty in the wresting. And, I’m learning, there’s even beauty in the limp.” After Jacob lives to tell of an all-night wrestling duel with the Divine, he does not detail the pain, the sweat, the struggle. He doesn’t even mention it. What Jacob recalls is God’s face. “After that long night of wrestling with God, what Jacob remembered wasn’t the wrestling or the limp. He remembered the face of God.” It was the limp that led to the blessing. When we choose to be honest, humble, and vulnerable about the reality of our imperfections, we make room to recognize our desperation for the perfect presence of God. The limp serves as a reminder that we cannot do this life on our own. Not only do we experience intimacy with God through acknowledging our shortcomings, but we welcome more meaningful connection with one another. “The fact that I live with this broken body, & broken spirit at times, is constantly reminding me of my absolute, utter dependence on God. But it also reminds me of my dependence on others. We need each other.” The wrestling match with God marked Jacob for the rest of his life. In addition to the limp, God also gave him a new name—Israel. The name memorialized that Jacob had struggled with God and with man and had overcome. He walked away with a limp, and God still named him an OVERCOMER. God didn’t define him by the flaw, but by his blessed identity as a child of God. “… your limp isn’t the beginning of your disqualification. It’s your first step toward healing.” Then Jacob followed suit. He named the place where he struggled with God “Peniel,” meaning I saw God face to face and yet lived. He named the night of his greatest struggle after the God who saw him through it. Now, it’s your turn.

Data Driven Real Estate Acquisitions Yield the Best ROI (LA 999) Transcript: Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit:                            Hello. Steven Butala:                   Welcome to the Land Academy Show. Entertaining land investment talk, I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit:                            And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Steven Butala:                   Today Jill and I talk about data driven real estate acquisitions and how they yield the best RIO. Jill DeWit:                            This good, this is important. I'm glad we're talking about this. There's lots of other ways to do this, but there's ... the whole point for me is if you can't get onboard with data, you're gonna be left behind, it doesn't really matter what you're doing, you're gonna be left behind. Steven Butala:                   Somebody asked me recently, hey give me the elevator pitch on what you guys do, I don't understand it. Jill and I were looking at a boat. Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. Steven Butala:                   And the broker said, what are you guys doing at night ... and I said, we buy a lot land and we resell it. And he said, well give me the elevator pitch, I don't understand. People ask this stuff. I'm sure, you're all in land business, too, they ask you some version of this all the time. Jill DeWit:                            Exactly. Steven Butala:                   I said, we use data. I'm like everybody, to buy and sell property for less that it's worth at that current moment. And a light bulb went off, and so I decided to make a show out of it. Jill DeWit:                            Well I agree. Steven Butala:                   Like everything. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one our members on the landinvestors.com online community, it's free. Jill DeWit:                            Jacob asked, has anyone had trouble purchasing land in the Midwest region? It could just be my mailer or price, however I've had more success marketing and purchasing in the south west region, and was wondering what the issue might be. Good question. Steven Butala:                   Great question. I have like a really simple answer, you go first. Jill DeWit:                            All right. My answer is, no. Steven Butala:                   No? Jill DeWit:                            I'm sorry. Well, no, because as I'm looking at my inventory right now about, you know like Colorado and Texas property and other ... in the Midwest parts, I'm not having ... I have Ohio. So I don't have issues, so ... I'm ... Steven Butala:                   What Jacob means is this, in my opinion ... Jill DeWit:                            I'm guessing it's a little bit of a pricing thing. Or ... go ahead. Steven Butala:                   If Jill and I are saying the same thing. What he's saying is, I seem to have a lot better luck buying properties at 100 bucks an acre in the south west than I do in the Midwest, and he's absolutely right. Jill DeWit:                            That makes sense. Yeah, you do have to change your pricing. Like I was just looking at this Colorado property that we sold, we bought for like 6900 and sell for 36000. Steven Butala:                   Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jill DeWit:                            So ... and it was fast. Steven Butala:                   Colorado sells fast. Jill DeWit:                            It does. I can't remember the name of the county right now, but I was just looking at it. But, yeah, it's not a $100 an acre transaction, it's a much more expensive thing. So spend some time, I'm sure I'm you're gonna say the same thing, spend some time and do all the stuff that you know how to do, looking for, you know what Steven says, looking for those areas where there's consistence and you can kind of figure out some pricing.

What Jacob did, was he gave the office of kingship to the tribe of Judah, while Joseph was given the blessing of the firstborn. The Priesthood role transferred over from the firstborn to the Levites after the sin of the golden calf. As a result, the offices of the Melchizedek priesthood (king, priest, firstborn) were split within Jacob's family. Joseph being united with his brothers is a prophecy of the uniting of Northern Kingdom (Ephraim) with the Southern Kingdom (Judah) in the end of days. Judah and Joseph complete the first 24 elders of the world who sit around the throne of YHVH and worship Him. 1) Jacob had the position of a Melchizedek priest with the rights of firstborn and king / priest. 2) The functions of the Melchizedek priesthood was split between Judah, Joseph and Levi 3) Judah received the kingship role. 4) Joseph was given the birthright blessing and double portion when Jacob adopted his sons to become his firstborn sons (Ephraim and Manasseh). 5) Because of the sin of the golden calf, the Levites received the priesthood.

Everyone has a story. Part of the beauty of God's Word is when we can identify with the people God chose to weave into His BIG story of redemption. Tenth Avenue North's song "Control (Somehow You Want Me)" leads us to explore Jacob in the book of Genesis. There is a distinct time and place where Jacob gives control to God.

Jacob Morgan is an author, speaker and futurist living in the Bay Area. He recently started a new Facebook group called, The future if. This group is a global community of business leaders, authors, and futurists who explore what our future can look like IF certain technologies, ideas, approaches and trends actually happen.   Jacob is also working on a new course called The Future of Work Crash Course. This will go live in a few weeks. It is a companion course for his newest book, The Employee Experience Advantage.   He is looking at writing another book, sometime in the next few years. In addition, Jacob is looking at creating more interesting podcasts and interviewing new, fascinating guests.  What themes have stood out for Jacob from hosting this podcast?  First of all, Jacob says he’s learned a lot in the past 3 years and it turned out that a lot of people also enjoyed learning along with him. The podcast gets about 4000 – 5000 listens per episode, about 30,000 downloads per month.   One thing Jacob loves about the podcast is that the guests are honest. In conferences, events, etc. the information that comes across is often sanitized. The guests don’t get an advanced list of the questions, so it feels like it is a coffee shop conversation.   Jacob shares that he is amazed the future of work and the employee experience is getting so much traction. From HR to IT, a lot are paying attention to this. Jacob likes to think he  had a hand in driving some of that. He is pleased that companies are thinking about this. Jacob is always amazed to hear how far companies have come along. From workspace design to corporate culture and where employees want to show up.   What is Jacob’s vision for the future of work? He believes that in 5 years – 10 years out, not much will be different. There will be some evolution but it won’t be unrecognizable. In 50 years, he feels there will be a heavy and strong emphasis on AI. Perhaps androids. Maybe.  What should Jacob encourage leadership to think about? First of all, remember it’s People 1st, Technology 2nd. There is no substitute for people. No company can exist without people  It is also important to build a company that people want to work for.   How do you create systems to prepare people for the future of work? Jacob says you have to start by understanding the purpose of schools; schools don’t do a good job of preparing people for the future of their work. The purpose of schools is changing.   What threats will companies face in the future around the subject of compliance and integrity? One thing is transparency – companies need to be aware that both positive and negative information is out there. Another threat is the pace of business (for example, Uber). And also putting the right people in positions of power  What does Jacob feel is hype and what is reality? He says the most hype is around augmented and virtual reality and AI. He doesn’t believe we will see massive job displacement. Wearables are cool but they are on the fringes.   There are some things that Jacob feels are likely to happen and the ideas and technology are there but we are the barriers to these changes. In 10 years or so out - Jacob expects scalable virtual assistants, autonomous vehicles (10 years or so out). Also, we will rely more on voice commands. But Jacob sees that there is a lack of discussion around timelines for these things.  What You Will Learn In This Episode:   What Jacob is working on now  What things are hype and what is reality  How to create systems to prepare people for the future of work  What Jacob has learned during his time as a podcast host  What threats will companies face in the future around the subject of compliance and integrity?   Jacob’s vision for the future of work

Every other Tuesday we publish a new episode of the Equipped for Life Podcast, available to everyone who purchases our course, "Equipped for Life: A Fresh Approach to Conversations about Abortion." Generally these podcast episodes won't be available to the general public, but we plan on occasionally making exceptions, and we've decided to make our 11th episode the first one we make available to everybody. This is the first part in a two-part series on practical sidewalk counseling tips, from the person who has impressed me most with the way he thinks about decision making in front of abortion facilities, our Operations Coordinator Jacob Nels. Topics include: Understanding the mindset of a lot of the people who show up at abortion facilities; Learning important facts about the abortion facility, like when they do abortions; The primary things Jacob says while sidewalk counseling; The very careful way Jacob invites people to view a graphic abortion image; Two reasons why Jacob offers to buy meals for the people he talks to; What Jacob says when his main “pitch” falls on deaf ears, that he would never say at the beginning of the conversation.   To hear part two as well as all of the other podcasts, plus 29-HD video lessons, group activities, and a members-only forum, buy the Equipped for Life Course and support our work!

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground (Gen 1:26)." It is a great truth that God created everything for humans, and he intended to give the world to humans from the very beginning of the creation of the heavens and the earth. Humans are, and have been always heirs of the world. Among the phrases in the above scripture, this time we will explore the meanings of "in our image (tselem), in our likeness (demuth)." Since our topic is about the inheritance we receive as sons of God, we will focus upon the following points that will help us understand what these phrases mean. 1) As statues that represent God 2) As children of God 3) As ones who walk on two feet First, concerning point 1), it can be explained from the custom that existed in the ancient world—the placing of a king's statue in the land that he conquered for the purpose of showing that it came to belong to him. A good example of this is seen in the story of king Saul who went to conquer the Amalekites who occupied the region south and south-west of the Dead Sea. Having seen that the land became his, he went to Carmel and "set up a monument in his own honor (lit. … is now erecting a hand for him (1 Sam 15:12)." His action of erecting a statue or monument indicated that he now owned the land. It is important to know that both "tselem" and "demuth" are sometimes used in the Bible to mean "idol"—a statue of a god. God does not want anybody to make idols because God made humans as his statues to represent him. By making idols, we are denying the purpose and meaning of our own existence. The story of Jacob who set up a stone pillar at Bethel is another example associated with this idea of God's statue (Gen 28). He called the pillar "God's house" that had the function of a ladder connecting between the heaven and the earth. However, we know that God does not live in a stone. What Jacob did not know was that the stone symbolized Jacob himself who represented God on earth and functioned as a ladder, or a bull that walked on two feet. And it is not difficult to see that the stone served as a mark indicating that someday the land would be possessed by him and his descendants. When he returned from Laban's house, he came to Bethel again, and worshiped the Lord. And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you (Gen 35:11-12)." In this passage are found the expressions typically referring to the inheritance promised to the children of God. These words were, in a sense, a prophecy about the people of Israel who would come to exist as his heirs—the kingdom of God's treasured possession. Interestingly, there was, in fact, another kind of a kingdom that would come to be established in a similar way. The death and burial of Rachel prophecies about it. She died and was buried just outside of Bethlehem, and Jacob set up a stone pillar over her tomb (35:19). For us who know the New Testament, it sounds as if Rachel were laid there to pray for the coming of the Messaiah (Mat 2:17-18). As for the point 2) above, the idea is obviously based upon the way children resemble their parents in many ways. For this meaning, we should look at the beginning of Adam's genealogy: This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. … When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth (5:1-3).
