Hello.Steven Jack Butala:
Welcome to the Land Academy Show entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from the valley of the sun.

Steven Jack Butala:Today's Jack Thursday. And this episode is called numbers. And I'm going to surprise, surprise, share my thoughts on why everything starts and ends with the numbers in business.

Jill K DeWit:I understand. Hey, before we do that, can we do our fun thing?

Steven Jack Butala:Sure.

Jill K DeWit:Okay. So we mentioned yesterday, we were talking about from the question that [crosstalk 00:00:36].Steven Jack Butala:
We're the nicest people in the country.

Jill K DeWit:Aaron wrote, hold, please. Yeah, Aaron wrote, and we launched into this question about like it was picking an address and picking area code for you to have as your home base for your mailer in your company. So we're thinking one of my ideas was what if you just researched and picked where the nicest people are in the country, and you use that as your place to have your phone number and everything tied to because everybody knows that you're so nice. What's funny is I guess two of the top three, I'm pretty proud of myself. So do you want to share?

Steven Jack Butala:Yeah, you did. Well, this comes from a survey. This is 2022, where big seven travel. We have no affiliation in any way, asked 1.5 million of their social media followers to vote by state where the friendliest, nicest people are. And the results are.Jill K DeWit:
Let's do the top three. Number one, this one, I didn't guess. Minnesota. That's number one. I love it.

Steven Jack Butala:I can tell you with personal experience. There are a lot of people from Minnesota that are snowbirds here in Phoenix right now.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah.

Steven Jack Butala:They are the nicest people.

Jill K DeWit:Yeah. Number two and number three, I guessed, I got Tennessee, and I was thinking there's probably someone we don't even hear about like South Carolina by golly; they're number three. Here's what's funnier.

Steven Jack Butala:Keep going down the list.

Jill K DeWit:Do you know what the meanest are? Oh, you want to keep going?

Steven Jack Butala:Oh, there's meanest.

Jill K DeWit:Oh, I wrote, oh wait. I've worked ahead on my project.

Steven Jack Butala:I'm going to reel down the list.

Jill K DeWit:Can you do the nicest? And then I'm going to add mine.

Steven Jack Butala:Number four is Texas, number five, Wyoming. Number six, Indiana, a little bit of surprise there. Number seven, Colorado, no surprise. Number eight, Kansas. Number nine, Oklahoma, no surprises here at all. Number 10 Hawaii, which was very surprising.

Jill K DeWit:Now let me add my research because this is funnier. This is what it said are the meanest people in the country? Number one is; New Mexico.

Steven Jack Butala:What? Really?

Jill K DeWit:I know.

Steven Jack Butala:That's strange.

Jill K DeWit:I know. And number two is; Arkansas. Okay. Then wait.

Steven Jack Butala:That's not right.

Jill K DeWit:That's what this says. I'm not kidding. And it said even like New Mexico, even though they may have friendly names of their towns are not that nice. And then this is even better. I wrote down the happiest and the unhappiest. This is a different study. They used 31 metrics. It was like a medical group, like a hospital that did this one on the happiest and the unhappiest. And they used 31 metrics, including unemployment and suicide rates. Not kidding.

Steven Jack Butala:Jeez.

Jill K DeWit:I know it's kind of scary. So the happiest state in the country is, do you know?

Steven Jack Butala:I have cheated. I looked at it, so I do know.

Jill K DeWit:Okay, Utah.

Steven Jack Butala:Yeah. I'm surprised that Utah didn't come up on this list.

Jill K DeWit:I know.

Steven Jack Butala:Of the friendliest.
