Land Academy Discord Walk Through Wednesday (HA 1740)

Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:Steve and Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:Hello.

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 the valley of the sun.

Steven Jack Butala:Today, Jill and I talk about... well, we're going to do a Land Academy Discord walkthrough. If you dig it, we're going to do it every Wednesday.

Jill K DeWit:Well, I want to explain what Discord is. We started Land Academy... I'll try to make this brief, not like once upon a time. There was Adam and there was Eve. I'm not going to go there. So once upon a time, we started Land Academy. And then from the first month we launched, our people said, our community said, "We need to talk. We want to communicate with you, with each other. How can we ask questions and just get stuff?" So we said, "Oh, okay. We're going to make this an online community." And we did. When I say we, I mean, Steven, so Jack. So Jack did. Bless his heart, and it's been phenomenal for years. It's landinvestors.com.

Jill K DeWit:Then we got the bright idea too. And we have a public facing view where anybody can join up and sign up and please do and use it. And then we have a hidden view, which is for members where there's more in depth than we talk about deals and really get personal and share stuff that we don't want the planet to see, APNs, phone numbers, numbers, all that stuff. So then we took it a step further. We wanted a little more robust, exciting, fast, quick, easy on our phone, on the fly 24/7 environment. And somebody in our staff, gamers obviously... This is a gaming community. It's called Discord. So we said, "Well, we could use Discord too. It's pretty darn cool." So we use Discord now in addition to our regular environment, but so much is happening on Discord. And it's closed that you can't see it.

Steven Jack Butala:It's exploded.

Jill K DeWit:And so we want to show you a little bit now what it is. So it's cool. Yeah, so if you haven't heard a Discord, don't worry. If you're not playing Call of Duty, you might not know Discord.

Steven Jack Butala:I mean, you should leave the gaming out of it. But if you're young and you know about Discord as a gaming... What this is it's a channel for people to talk about whatever they're into. And it was designed for gamers, but we're obviously into buying and selling land. And it turns out, it works great for that.

Jill K DeWit:We love it.

Steven Jack Butala:It's very quick. It's very online.

Jill K DeWit:There's not a learning curve by the way, just so you're like, "Oh, I can't figure that out."

Steven Jack Butala:I mean, it's designed to do this and you'll see this in a second. I join Land Academy. I'm going through Land Academy 3.0, which we just launched. And I got a question about chapter three, or about this exact one specific thing. And I need some advice from other members. I'm going to stop what I'm doing, go onto Discord, keyword search it, find out what's going on in all these strings as I'll show you in a second, and I get my answer. And I don't get it from anybody like a customer service person that Jill and I hired or us ourselves. Although, I do answer a ton of questions in there. I get it from somebody who's my peer, who's just went through it six months ago and had the same question and they answered it for themselves or found another member to answer it. So stick a question real quick, and then I'll dive right in. Jill's excited. I can tell because-

Jill K DeWit:I am.

Steven Jack Butala:Because she went off the teleprompter here.

Jill K DeWit:I know. So Luke wrote, "So what's the general consensus on discounting a property value based on easements for access instead of road frontage? So I have 44 acres of prime hunting land/ag land, but the only access is via two easements by the neighbors to the north and the Southeast.
