Steven Jack Butala:I'm Steven Jack Butala.

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

Steven Jack Butala:This is episode number 2,011, and today Jill and I are talking about the truth about working with your spouse in the land business. In case you don't know, it's not all peaches and cream.

Jill K DeWit:Oh, there may be something-

Steven Jack Butala:Just like this show.

Jill K DeWit:I got to write one more thing down. Excuse me, I have another note now, just kidding.

Steven Jack Butala:On a personal note, I love this topic. I think it's going to be a blast. I think there's probably a lot of stuff that Jill's got to say. There's a few things I need to say.

Jill K DeWit:And in the safety of this environment with you on the other end, we can't get in trouble.

Steven Jack Butala:That's exactly right. Well, we can only get in a certain amount of trouble.

Jill K DeWit:True.

Steven Jack Butala:We can't get in any nasty [inaudible 00:00:56]-

Jill K DeWit:Major trouble, because when the camera's off, so are the gloves.

Steven Jack Butala:Hey, it's hockey season by the way, I'm taking those gloves off.

Jill K DeWit:Yes, all right. Hey, before we get started, I have a big announcement. For the first time ever, we've never done anything like this. We are going to do a live, open to the public workshop the week of June 17th. I'm looking for the exact dates here. So, June 17th through the 21st, and it's not like the same thing is going to be repeated. It's going to be building on each other every day. So, we're going to start with equity planner and goal setting and all that stuff.It's kind of everything we do in Land Academy, but I wanted to really take a step back and have an open workshop for anyone. So, if you're really thinking about doing this, you do not want to miss it. So watch your email, if you're not in my email loop, you should be. Download our free eBook, that'll get you in there. Or just send a note to my team like, "Hey, what's going on June 17th? I need to be involved," to support@landacademy.com. So, what's going to happen is it's going to be one hour a day, Monday through Friday that week, sometimes with Jack, and sometimes just me, and it's going to be 9:00 AM Pacific time to 12:00 PM Eastern Time, and again, just for an hour each day and it's really going to give you-

Steven Jack Butala:You will learn tons.

Jill K DeWit:Oh my gosh, a really good insight to what's going on more than just reading the eBook and getting on the Thursday call.

Steven Jack Butala:I've been doing this for 30 years. We've done more than 16,000 deals, Jill's been doing it for more than 15 years, so we know what we're talking about, and we're not at this age afraid to share the actual real story.
