About this episode

Jake Hofer reflects on five years of insights and lessons learned from hosting The Land Podcast.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with a different show. Today, Jake hands the host mic over to Richard Rappley to talk about everything that Jake has learned in 5 years of running the Land Podcast.

Thanks again for all of the support from our partners—none of this would've been possible without them! - Buck Land Funding…
