Do you want to escape the nine to five?

Or do you want the freedom to work when you want, where you want, and with whom you want?

The Art of Passive Income Podcast explores opportunities for you to achieve total freedom so you can live life on your own turns.

And now here is your host, Mark Podolsky, from The Land Geek.

is their favorite to cheat real estate website, the landgeek.com,

And so we are going to explore mindset growth opportunities with my friends.

Thank you. Thank you, Mark. We are more than excited to be here with you today.

And in that book is the story of how they met.

And it is incredible.

So, Ala, would you mind just talking about how the two of you met and what brought you to San Marcos?
