Living in a 1000 sq ft house in the Midwest is a cheat code for saving. These houses regularly go for around $75k. Small amount down and the payment can be around $500/mo including property taxes. Small houses are cheap to remodel. Easy to make your own like ones below.

Central Illinois. Jason, I could see you moving to a smaller town and buying some buildings, revitalizing the town, and being a local legend. Small towns have lots of overlooked advantages.

I’ve done it before and it’s definitely a trying experience, but the pay off it worth it. Awesome job on your restoration and would love to see more photos.

I was a tenant of Nick’s last year. We were wanting to have family over for a cookout and I made the off-hand comment it’d be nice if this place had a deck.
An hour later I heard beeping from a truck backing up. It was Nick.
He got out of the cab of the truck and says how does

I typically only ask if an item is still available when they’re asking for way too much or the item is junk. When they answer back yes, I reply “not surprised.”
For the past five years, along with my full-time job, I've been the facilitator of an entrepreneurship program for high school seniors. It's the opposite of a traditional class. It never meets in a school. Only places of business. Students apply to be in it. 1/6

We’re currently using Gemini Business but interested in Gemini Enterprise. We were on Duet AI for Workspace Enterprise but switched to Workspace Homebase. Then we went back to Duet AI when Duet AI+ was announced. A sales rep reached out today to gauge interest in Gemini Pro.

I set up a call with Nikita. All I can say is insane value. When he first picked up he said “who’s this” even though I had confirmed. Next he asked me to hold. I got to hear him and his tailor discuss lapel styles for 15 minutes. Then my time was up. Inspired me to grind harder.

There should be a % max of nightly stay price for fees, especially cleaning. People are just listing their place cheap for nightly rate to standout then collecting it in the cleaning fee. Lot of resources tell hosts to do this. Another search option for “by total price” may help.

This one’s in a small town in central Illinois. I’ve got my eye on two buildings though. One’s an old veterinarian office the other is an abandoned one room church. Use to restore historic buildings and have huge love of them and small towns. Always down to chat.

May be anecdotal, but the contagion has spread to my local Dunkin.
Asked a man in line if he was there due to the Starbucks debacle. He stared at me and said he didn’t know but he had to go to Home Depot afterwards.
Renovating a house during the pandemic has reminded me that I prefer manual labor. Restored historic buildings full-time for a few years after high school. Feels good to step back and see a physical change.
This week marked one year in the new house. Spent from Nov. 2020 to Jan. 2022 renovating it with tons of Covid delays/price changes on material. Did way more work myself than planned, but did get some contractors to assist. Here’s another before/after from the progress last year:

I know of a guy who once punched another guy in a bar parking lot, and the dude he punched fell and hit his head on a parking lot and died. Dude went to prison for 15 years. No chance I’m risking if my or a loved one’s safety isn’t in immediate danger.

Reflections. I’m sure you think about the podcast after you’re done recording. Would love to hear some honest thoughts about some takeaways you had from the convo. A five minute segment after the recording wraps would be great.

found us a great place to stay. Vacation home of a couple from California in the hills surrounded by trees.
One of my favorite parts is the fact that multiple past students are still operating their personal businesses today. I’m reminded of this as I received this text earlier from a student. It’s a good feeling to see their eyes open up to the possibilities of entrepreneurship. 6/6
Proud of my wife for crushing another speaking gig in Chicago today. Phoenix last week. Los Angeles and Salt Lake City coming up. She’s on a roll.
