279: A lot has changed since Seth Drehle-Ewan first appeared on the REtipster Podcast.
(Show Notes: REtipster.com/279)
Back then, he was a young land investor building a business with his brother, Bryce. Today, they're running a very different operation, focused on larger land deals, minor subdivisions, and a more targeted real estate strategy.
But this conversation goes far beyond land investing.
About a year ago, Seth experienced a severe case of Ramsay-Hunt syndrome that completely changed his life. We talk about what happened, how recovery has impacted his identity, business, and relationships, and what it's like trying to navigate a major health challenge while still leading a company.
We also discuss how the land investing industry has evolved, why Seth moved away from the traditional "guru" playbook, the advantages of working with family, and the importance of building a business that reflects your own strengths and values.
If you're interested in land investing, entrepreneurship, resilience, personal growth, or adapting to major life changes, this episode has a lot to offer.

278: In this episode, I sit down with Rick Sheldon to discuss how he built a highly intentional Google Ads strategy for finding off-market land deals.
(Show Notes: REtipster.com/278)
Rick shares how he transitioned from residential wholesaling into land investing, why his first acquisition model failed, and how a simple PPC funnel transformed his business. We also break down lead qualification, conversion tracking, negative keywords, AI tools, land subdivisions, seller funnels, and scaling a land investing business through partnerships.
One of the most interesting parts of this conversation is how Rick uses Google Ads to train the platform to send more qualified land sellers while filtering out wholesalers, scammers, and low-quality leads.
If you're interested in land investing, land flipping, land development, PPC marketing, or building systems that scale, you'll find plenty of actionable ideas in this conversation.

277: Most land investors think success comes from pricing, data, and marketing
(Show Notes: REtipster.com/277)
But after talking with Katie Desmarais, it’s clear that sales conversations, leadership, and team development are what separate struggling operators from scalable land investing businesses.

Coaching, accountability, and leadership
Why overfiltering leads can hurt your business
How to create a land business that supports your lifestyle
