Landon describes how he transitioned from the Air Force to investing in real estate. We discuss how crucial education is to the real estate sector and how making business decisions should be rational rather than merely based on feelings or intuition. Landon also stresses the significance of defining one's corporate objectives and handling issues from a logical and practical standpoint.

We discuss Landon’s innovative approach to business and real estate investing. He shares his personal experiences with section eight properties, his decision to stay away from commercial investments, dealing with other people's mental health issues, and his love for sailing. We also talk about the importance of occasionally getting away from technology to allow business owners to reorient themselves and get a clear perspective.
