Transcript:

Jill DeWit:I am Jill DeWit.

Samantha Lathus:I'm Samantha Lathus.

Jill DeWit:And this is the Land Academy Show. Today is episode number... I don't know. Do you know?

Samantha Lathus:I have no idea.

Jill DeWit:Someone's going to fill that in. Well, as you can see, this is a very special show today. I am so excited and so happy that I have my sweet ambassador, Land Academy Ambassador, Samantha Lathus with me in my office today, and we are having a whole lot of fun. How are you?

Samantha Lathus:I'm doing great. I'm enjoying the Arizona sunshine, getting out of the cold Chicago so-

Jill DeWit:There we go.

Samantha Lathus:... it's been really refreshing.

Jill DeWit:Yeah, and please tell us a little more about the flight in. Please share with us for a moment, if you will, what Karl decided to talk to you about as you're boarding the plane.

Samantha Lathus:I know. I know. So we get on the plane. He's like, "Do you know what model number we're on?" I'm like, "No." He's like, "Have you listened to the news in the last week?" I'm like, "No. What's going on?" He's like, "These are the same model that are losing their doors mid-flight." I'm like, "Oh, why are you telling me this now?"

Jill DeWit:Now? "Wait. You mean the same plane that my whole family's on, my whole life, you and our two children who are right next to us?" Minor details.

Samantha Lathus:He's like, "Just don't sit near the exit row."

Jill DeWit:Like, great.

Samantha Lathus:There we go.

Jill DeWit:I just thought about that. People used to pay extra, because of the extra leg room, for that.

Samantha Lathus:Yes, I wonder if people-

Jill DeWit:Now it's going to be like, "I want to get some compensation if I sit there."

Samantha Lathus:If you sit right there. Thanks.

Jill DeWit:That used to be a good thing. "Do you know how to open and operate..." I'm sure, I feel so bad saying this, especially because I'm a pilot. My dad was a professional pilot and then I come from that background. I worked at American for years, but I got to say it, when they say, "Do you know how to open and operate the door?" And they're giving the little safety speech, I bet everybody's going like, "Doesn't it open by itself?"

Samantha Lathus:Right.

Jill DeWit:So yeah, "I'm not needed, right?"

Samantha Lathus:Automatic.

Jill DeWit:Exactly. Okay, so back to the show. This is going to be fun today. So while we are recording, the guys are in Jack's office recording, so this is going to be really good and nobody knows what each person's talking about, so I don't even know what order you're getting this, but you're getting one week of Carl and Jack talking and you're going to get, the next week, Samantha and I talking. And we're going to share, Samantha and I are going to talk about something informational first. Then we're going to talk about a deal. We're going to give some good deal chat, 'cause that's why we're here, this is what we do. And then we're going to wrap it up with something inspirational too for you. Just so we have a couple good things lined up.So let's dive in. Informational. We've been talking about this a lot. You and I talk about this all the time, but it's amazing to me. There's two things I've noticed. One is, over the last couple years we've had more strong women-

Samantha Lathus:Yes.

Jill DeWit:... Come into Land Academy, not just as couples, just on their own, and I love it.

Samantha Lathus:Me too.

Jill DeWit:What do you think?

Samantha Lathus:I absolutely love it. When we were on the pro call the other day, it was funny, I noticed there was about 10 of us all meeting, and besides Carl and Jack,
