Friday was a big day for me.
Closed on my biggest deal to date (acreage & $) in Spokane.
Submitted my 240 unit residential development CDP to La Plata Cnty CO.
Long road ahead, but some serious work done and stress off my back in the short term.
A year ago, @clayhepler and I started the Ground Game Podcast with no plan—just two operators talking land investing. Fast forward, it’s been a year of lessons, wins, and challenges. Here’s what I’ve learned about scaling, adapting, and thriving in this business. 👇
If you’re in the land business—or any business—remember this: evolve or die. The market doesn’t wait for you to catch up. Adapt, learn, and keep moving forward.🏞️
Just took transcripts from 9 episodes of the ground game by @clayhepler + @Scouting4Land and summarized them in 20 minutes.
The amount of takeaways is insane, way too much to absorb in one listen.
Grateful for how much value you both put out.
Heading to Durango tomorrow for my pre-application meeting with La Plata County for the biggest project I've worked on to date.
Excited to get some county feedback and take some more steps towards approval!
