I’m Mark Podolsky (a.k.a. The Land Geek), and I’ve been buying
and selling raw land full time since 2001.
I’ve completed over 5,500 land deals and my company, Frontier Equity Properties, has an A+
rating with the Better Business Bureau. I am also the author of Dirt Rich, the ultimate guide to
helping you build a passive income model in raw land investing.
My passion for investing in land, for creating wealth efficiently, and for helping other people
develop their inner geeky entrepreneur has lead me to do two things I never expected to do in
The first – I host a podcast. In fact, you might be here right now because you discovered one of
my podcasts first. If not, you might want to join in on all of the FREE and FUN geeky tips, tricks,
shortcuts, and wisdom we share with all of the great fans.
The second – is that I love being a teacher, coach, and mentor to a growing community of
people who are truly wonderful. To be surrounded by smart people
of quality characters who are driven to succeed is incredible, and I feel humbled
and honored to be their guide.
