I am here because of the PG retweet. I love that guy and I am not disappointed, to say the least.

I found your writing/thinking wonderful, funny and honest. And true. The honest and true parts were revealed in surprising ways - at the end of a thought where I said to myself - yep, that's true. I especially liked the thought on relationships and how the path through real estate can get you to the most important part of life. Meaningful. Thank you.

Strangely captivating. Subscribed. P.S. I came here through a link in Kevin Stock's newsletter.

Stephen, I arrived not knowing what to expect but ended up both laughing out loud and learning a thing or two. I'll be back! Thank you.

"a mediocre poet who lies on the side of a hill staring at the clouds is just a bum" I loved that and this whole letter. Laughed multiple times and learned something helpful. Thank you!

Loved the article! I laughed out loud several times, which I haven't done in a while now. Thank you!

Really appreciate how you wildly careened between topics here, and that sentence about the "underpaid" fiction writer. Hope to see more soon!

Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing! Likely unintended but this is the most persuasive piece to invest in real estate I’ve ever read. I think you have a career in Remax if youre interested 😄

Thanks Stephen... very funny! Real estate is great, but there are other ways to invest as well.

Continues to be interesting, Steve. Thanks!

Lovely, elegant, smart-ass, funny, and, for the first time in this series, pretty boring in parts. (I genuinely don’t understand money and it’s pursuit, so those parts whizzed right over my head.) But I love these posts. I’m honored to have found myself on your list and I always open them eagerly when they appear. Thank you.
