Landon Rhodes is a real estate investor, landlord, and founder of Grindstone Media, a digital advertising agency based in Lincoln, Nebraska. Ethan, Zane, and Landon join me today to discuss why building trusting relationships with those around you is critical to your success as well as share strategies for investing in real estate as an alternative method of increasing your farming operation’s revenue. They share the challenges they’ve faced throughout their journeys into real estate investing and property management, why having the right mindset is critical to achieving your goals, and how purchasing rental properties can enable you to invest in other areas of your farm operation. They also discuss some of the challenges and adversities they have faced throughout their lives and careers, how overcoming these obstacles has helped shaped the way they work with clients and customers as well as their definition of success. “At the end of the day, life comes at you in cycles.
