Transcript: 

Steven Jack Butala:I'm Stephen Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:I'm Jill DeWit, and this is the Land Academy Show.

Steven Jack Butala:This is episode number 1,935. Today, we are taking an in-depth look at a couple of topics called What Top Land Investors Are Doing Differently for 2023 and How to Troll for New Land Acquisition Markets Like A Pro. It all starts with trolling.

Jill K DeWit:Well, before that, I would like to point out a couple things. Number one, this is our new format. I want to let everybody know this is it. Glad you're here. Get your coffee. Get your tea. Get your Coke. Settle in. This is going to go probably, I don't know, anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour or so. We'll see where this takes us.

Jill K DeWit:So our new format is instead of the weekly short shows, where a lot of you have said, "Oh, wait, I really wanted to hear the whole deep dive about it," which is a snippet, we're going to give you those deep dives because you guys have really asked for that. So we're excited to do that.

Jill K DeWit:The other thing I want to point out is when we say show number 1,935, we really do mean 1,935 starting with episode zero, basically, because I'm sure there were negative zero because there's probably a few that we started with years ago and since replaced, probably pulled down and replaced because I don't know how great they were, but we've been doing this for a while. So I'm really looking forward to this. So what's going on with you?

Steven Jack Butala:I'm just ready to ... I'm embracing this new format. It's going to give us a chance to really take an in-depth look at some of these topics versus just skipping along the topic.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah. I want this to be like you get to imagine you're in the room with us right now, and as we're just discussing things, like we always do, just now with cameras on and mics on, we're going to have these longer conversations. We're going to have our partners meetings right here with you.

Steven Jack Butala:Oh, gosh. Please spare them, spare the listener.

Jill K DeWit:Oh, all of them. I'll remove the arguing. I'll remove the, "That's stupid," or you know what? Actually, we might leave that in. Maybe all the, "That's a stupid idea," we'll leave those in because we don't always agree.

Steven Jack Butala:So like Jill says, new for 2023. This is our weekly show now. We'll take a couple of member questions from our Land Academy Discord forum like we always have. We'll review some of our favorite land acquisitions from our Thursday member webinar, and ultimately take a deep dive look into two land-related topics that are requested on the Discord channel. If you're a member, go on Discord. There's a place called Content Topic Suggestions. Please, if you want us to talk about anything or ask a question-

Jill K DeWit:Put it in there.

Steven Jack Butala:Yup, we'll happily cover it.

Jill K DeWit:That's awesome.

Steven Jack Butala:All right. Let's take a question posted by one of our members on the Land Academy Discord online community. If you want a sneak peek at our Discord channel, please go to landinvestors.com. It's embedded there, read-only, and it's free.

Jill K DeWit:That's pretty cool. All right. So Sid wrote,
