The Regulatory Squeeze on Land Investors with Seth Williams

Episode 7: We dig into the increasing regulatory hurdles around texting, ringless voicemail, cold calling, direct mail, assignments, and double closings. While land investing has never been “easy,” it’s definitely more complex than it used to be. We unpack what scaling really looks like in a land business. The idea that you can “just add a zero” to your marketing budget and multiply your results isn’t reality. Scaling requires better leadership, stronger systems, and often a solid team. 🤝 Leadership in Land Skool Community (It's FREE!)

How Mike Balcom Built a 30-Person Land Team

Episode 4: I sit down with Mike Balcom to talk about building and leading a high-performing land investing team. Mike has scaled to 8 core team members and 25–30 data scrubbers across multiple countries. We talk about hiring overseas virtual assistants, building leaders inside your business, and creating systems that allow you to step back. One of the most interesting parts of this conversation is how Mike uses AI in his land business. He built a custom GPT that grades sales calls, gives feedback to acquisitions reps, and helps streamline operations. We also discuss leadership highs and lows, including letting go of a loyal early team member and how to handle tough conversations with empathy. If you're building a land investing business and want to scale with systems, leadership, and AI, this episode is packed with practical insights. 🤝 Leadership in Land Skool Community (It's FREE!)
