Early on, a lot of us avoid giving direct feedback. We don’t want to come off too harsh. We don’t want to discourage people. But here’s what happens instead... Mistakes repeat. Standards stay unclear. Growth slows down. In this business, that shows up fast. Good feedback isn’t about being harsh. It’s about being useful. Clear enough that someone can actually improve. That’s leadership.

What you see online about land investing is the highlight reel… this is everything else. You don’t see the 800+ cold calls it took just to close one deal… Or the $100,000 mistake that hits out of nowhere… Or the moment you realize what used to work… doesn’t anymore. @Seth Williams just dropped a powerful episode and it’s one of the most honest looks at what this business actually feels like behind the scenes of a $3M+ operation. Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: - Why walked away from sending 60,000 mailers a month - How to adapt when strategies stop working - The hidden deal killers you might be missing, like land restrictions - The reality behind scaling and burnout - And what it takes to grow from $3M to $10M in today’s market If you’re trying to figure out why things feel harder than before… this episode will hit different.

Losing a W-2 job could feel like the end of the road. For @Denise Ford, it became the moment everything changed. In this episode of Leadership in Land, Denise shares how she went from rebuilding her life after job loss to creating a business designed around freedom, family, and travel. What started with land deals eventually grew into something even bigger when she began exploring manufactured homes and land-home packages. But the journey wasn’t smooth. There were partnerships that went sideways, deals that turned messy, and moments where she had to figure things out the hard way. Those experiences ended up teaching her how to handle development, work directly with counties and utilities, and ultimately build a new branch of her business. Now she’s combining land investing, manufactured housing, and future plans for storage projects, all while designing a business that supports the life she actually wants to live. This conversation is about more than deals. It’s about reinvention, smart growth, and building a business that gives you real freedom. 👉 Don’t just scroll. Level up.

Most land events are built for information. But the real bottleneck for most operators isn’t information. If you’re looking for something different—and want to be around people actually having these kinds of conversations—we’ve got a small, intentional event coming up July 17th. You can apply here: www.landunconference.com I just love doing this stuff! It doesn't pay much at all in money, but it sure pays in what counts- relationships and memories. Check out the video that captures just a little bit of the experience!! But truly can't measure how awesome it is. After spending a few days with a small group of guys on a hog hunt, I was reminded of something… The biggest breakthroughs didn’t come from: - a speaker - a slide deck - or a new tactic They came from conversations like: - “Here’s where I’m actually stuck…” - “Here’s what’s not working in my business…” - “Here’s something I probably wouldn’t share in a bigger room…” And once one person goes there… everyone else follows. That’s when things change. One guy (or gal) shares a problem → someone else has already solved it One guy (or gal) admits something isn’t working → someone else reframes it One honest conversation → can be worth six figures+ in your business But here’s the catch: That only happens in the right environment. Not 300 people. Not surface-level networking. Not the same “what do you do?” conversation 20 times. It happens when: - the group is small - people feel safe being honest - and there’s enough time together to actually go deeper If you feel stuck right now, it’s probably not because you need more information. It’s because you need: - better conversations - better people around you - and a place where you can actually be honest about what’s going on That’s a big part of why we’ve been building Leadership in Land—and why we host smaller, more intentional events. We’ve got another one coming up July 17th.

$700K in revenue for Quarter 1. But the real story was more complicated. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what actually happened inside the business during the first three months of the year, including strong sales, tighter cash flow, debt payoffs, properties that took longer to move, and the pressure of keeping momentum when the numbers do not tell the full story. This is an honest look at what land investing really feels like behind the scenes. Not every quarter is a breakout quarter. Sometimes the win is staying cash flow positive, learning from the slower deals, and making the next move with more clarity. 👉 Don’t just scroll. Level up. Here are the full resources and transcript.
