Jack Butala:                   Hey, Jack Butala for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow From Land show. In this episode Jill and I talk about the new year. We're actually recording this on December 31st. It's one of my favorite holidays. Probably, actually, my the favorite holiday.

Jill DeWit:                            I didn't know you had a favorite holiday.

Jack Butala:                   Jill and I are going to take a look at 2015 and what we've accomplished, and then maybe set some goals for 2016.

Jill DeWit:                            Okay, I have to ask, so this is the one and only day out of the year it's not an interruption?

Jack Butala:                   I got a lot of flak for calling the holiday an interruption in our office.

Jill DeWit:                            Yes, yes.

Jack Butala:                   Jill calls it a ... What do you call it? A celebration?

Jill DeWit:                            It is. It's a celebration. You get everybody together. You have a lot of fun and food and silliness and, you know, it is a celebration.

Jack Butala:                   One of the many reasons we are partners still.

Jill DeWit:                            How we differ. Very good.

Jack Butala:                   No, I love the holiday season, honestly, because of you. You make it fun.

Jill DeWit:                            Thank you.

Jack Butala:                   You do. Jill goes full blown, full out on the holidays. There's the whole Christmas tree thing, and presents and ...

Jill DeWit:                            Nice meals.

Jack Butala:                   I learned a couple years ago just to stop making rules about, "Oh, let's just get the kids one present," and it just ... The one present things happens around December 1st, and then we say, "Great, we're all done shopping," and then there's 1700 presents more.

Jill DeWit:                            I totally forgot you had that rule years ago.

Jack Butala:                   Yeah, I don't even think you listened to it.

Jill DeWit:                            No, I ...

Jack Butala:                   No, you did it this year too.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. Oh, I didn't ... I never even ... You know what?

Jack Butala:                   You agreed to it. You agreed to it, just mechanically agreed.

Jill DeWit:                            I do mechanically agree to a lot of things.

Jack Butala:                   Yeah, "Whatever you said this time."

Jill DeWit:                            Just say, "Yes," and then go do whatever you want.

Jack Butala:                   You do that about everything.

Jill DeWit:                            I kind of do. It's a kid ... I mean, it starts when you're a kid. Our kids do it to us. "Just say yes, and then we're going to go do whatever we want."

Jack Butala:                   Absolutely. I was like that too. Were you? I'm sure you were.

Jill DeWit:                            Of course. Of course. You know, I'm sure there's part of me that still does that to me too.

Jack Butala:                   Yeah, it's just different for men and women I think.

Jill DeWit:                            Love it.

Jack Butala:                   I'm a lot more silent about it.

Jill DeWit:                            Oh. You just kind of pretend like you didn't hear it.

Jack Butala:                   That's true for everything.

Jill DeWit:                            That way no one can say, "Well, you said yes."

Jack Butala:                   All right let's look at 2015 and what we've accomplished because it ...
