Buying an Island with Boat Access Only (LA 1254) Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hello. Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy show. Entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWitt broadcasting from sunny, Southern California. Steven Butala: Today Jill and I are buying an ..., Wow, how's that for subconscious? Today, Jill and I talk about buying an island with boat access only. Jill DeWit: What were you going to say we are buying? Steven Butala: Today Jill and I are buying an island with boat access only. How great would that be? Jill DeWit: Wouldn't that be great? Awesome. See you. Good luck finding us. That would be good. Steven Butala: I was talking about satellite. I was talking about somebody who really knows about this recently about the future of cell towers. This guy, his family own a ton of cell towers. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Steven Butala: You know who I'm talking about? Jill DeWit: No. Steven Butala: I'll tell you later. It's somebody that we know very well that ... Because we haven't ever talked about business socially. It's a good thing. Jill DeWit: Okay. Steven Butala: Anyway, that this- Jill DeWit: What does he drink, then I'll know who he is. Right? Steven Butala: His wife doesn't drink at all, because usually she's the designated driver, which I really respect. And he drinks, I'm not sure. No, he drinks red wine and they live [crosstalk 00:01:08]. Jill DeWit: They live North of us? Steven Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: Oh, that guy? Steven Butala: So ... Jill DeWit: Cool. I never knew what he did. Steven Butala: The satellite technology is, from a satellite perspective, that the mobile technology, I say this because we're talking about living on an island, satellite technology is there, from what I understand, in the sky. It's the devices that we have, can't be this small. They have to be pretty intensely large to make it effective. Jill DeWit: Like the old brick? Steven Butala: Yeah. Jill DeWit: Here it is. You heard it here first, we're going back to the old bricks. Jill DeWit: Could you imagine? Steven Butala: So, apparently we're a long way away from having a satellite receptor in our pocket. Jill DeWit: I understand. Steven Butala: But that's not what the show's about. Jill DeWit: Why does that work with my watch? Because I can do a satellite subscription, but I think maybe it ties into something else. I don't know. Steven Butala: So, it's satellite ... So I wonder if you can truly get the data package- Jill DeWit: Because I got the Garmin watch because I'm a geek. Steven Butala: I wonder if you can get the real large size, high speed data pack. It's like 5G style in a device that's that small? It's one thing to send GPS coordinates. Jill DeWit: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Steven Butala: Which is what I think you're talking about, right? Jill DeWit: Right. Steven Butala: It's not data packets. You can't watch YouTube on your watch from a satellite. Jill DeWit: No, but I can monitor my elevation, my speed, I can ... It's pretty good now without the satellite subscription, but it would be awesome with the satellite subscription, it would be that much more accurate. Steven Butala: Garmin makes a watch that's four digits, it's not cheap, and we're talking about it. Jill's a perfect customer for that. Jill DeWit: Totally. Steven Butala: She's a pilot, she's got ... Because we're all about customer data here [crosstalk 00:02:43]. Jill DeWit: I like all techy stuff. Steven Butala: Because we buy and sell real estate. So, we need to ... If you can hone in on your customer, whoever they are, I don't care if you sell water heaters or real estate, you're going to do well. And so, they have this figured out. Jill DeWit: I knew the Apple watch wasn't singing to me. And then when this came out, I'm like, "That's the one." Steven Butala: The features on that are amazing. And she will endlessly ...
