John Bernard Takes America’s Pulse: Building a Direct Line Between Citizens and Their Elected Officials
8:48

Adam HughesHOST
But tell us a little bit about America's Pulse and what that is and what you've been working on.

8:52John BernardGUEST
So what we talked about early on, I always think of James T. Kirk in Star Trek as my idol.
J
8:59John BernardGUEST
And it was interesting, even though he's way ahead in the future, he acts like he's from the 50s, always looking for a fight.
J
9:09John BernardGUEST
We're still doing it the way we did it way back when, based on rumors and whether we like someone or want to go have a beer, we think that person's approachable.

Rashad ThirlkillHOST
So what are the multiple revenue streams available from a Timberland investment?
Timberland: The Overlooked Asset Class w/ John Brenard
7:46
J
2:35John BernardGUEST
It's a business that we have where we've brought in partners to buy timberland and land properties, rural land properties in the Southeast.
J
2:45John BernardGUEST
And the way it got started, kinda as you mentioned in the intro, you know, I didn't come from investing in rural land, investing in timberland.
Seth WilliamsHOST
It might help to start with understanding, like, what does a typical deal look like here? Like, how many acres is it? What are you paying for it? How much do you make from the timber? And then what do you resell it for?
