In this episode of the Land Academy Show, hosts Steven Jack Butala and Jill K DeWit are on the road in Boulder, Colorado, discussing how to build a 10,000 unit mailer and how to build due diligence confidence, which are hot topics for their Career Path members. They also talk about how they are able to run their land business from their RV, but have to find office spaces to run their podcast, and Career Path live video sessions. Steven and Jill suggest renting independent office spaces or hotel conference rooms, and mention that there are office shares in almost all tiny towns all over the place. They then answer questions from their Land Academy Discord forum and review land acquisitions from their weekly Thursday member webinar, before taking a deep dive into two land related topics by popular requests.

Steven Jack Butala:
I'm Steven Jack Butala.
Jill K DeWit:
And I'm Jill DeWit. And this is the Land Academy Show.
Steven Jack Butala:
This is episode 1,951 and today, we're going to talk about how I build, how Jack builds, a 10,000 unit mailer. And we're going to talk also about building due diligence confidence. These are two topics that came from...
Jill K DeWit:
Career Path.
Steven Jack Butala:
Career Path.
Jill K DeWit:
Yep.
Steven Jack Butala:
We're mid-session in Career Path Number Six, and these are hot topics, both of them, for...
Jill K DeWit:
Totally.
Steven Jack Butala:
... During the office hours for Career Path members.
Jill K DeWit:
Exactly. So I want to just make a note too, for those of you who are watching us, we are on the road. I would show you our beautiful background, but with the light outside, it's actually a bright Colorado day right now. So you wouldn't really see it. But my view is beautiful. So we happen to be Downtown Boulder, looking out over the mountains on the front range and it couldn't be more pretty.
Steven Jack Butala:
It's right out of a postcard, the whole thing. And Jill and I are having an absolute blast.
Jill K DeWit:
Yep. So for those of you who are tuning in and listening and you're here because, "I want to do it from the road too," sometimes you have to do this kind of a stuff. So I've talked about it before. Running our own Land business from an RV is totally a piece of cake. I can do it with my laptop, I can do stuff on my phone, I can do things on my tablet. No big deal, running a Land business. Now, running Land Academy and a podcast and all the-
Steven Jack Butala:
And Officer Owners and Parcel Facts.
Jill K DeWit:
... And doing Career Path with the video live stuff we have to do, that's a whole different ballgame. So for those things, we find these office space environments and it's great, because you could rent it for a couple hours, rent it for a day, whatever you need. I just want you to know all your options.
Steven Jack Butala:
It turns out there's an office share in almost all tiny little towns all over the place. I'm shocked at how many... Not the chains. Not the WeWorks.
Jill K DeWit:
Yeah.
Steven Jack Butala:
There's all kinds of independent little offices. You can rent a room.
Jill K DeWit:
It doesn't have to be a hotel conference room.
Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah.
Jill K DeWit:
We've done that.
Steven Jack Butala:
They have that too.
Jill K DeWit:
We've done that. So yeah. Now I'm like, "Oh." And here's the reason why, because we don't want to go home. We picked up a new rig. Well, we did the podcast... Did we do the podcast from the rig last week? I think we did.
Steven Jack Butala:
Yeah.
Jill K DeWit:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That's right. You saw the podcast from the rig last week. So we were going to head home after that, right? And then Jack very nicely says, "I don't need to go home. Do you need to go home?" I go, "I kind of need to go home." So I'm having contacts shipped to me here. That's the only thing I'm running out of that I can't get. But other than that, we'll just see how it goes.
