Jaymie Friesen started with no money, no land, and poor credit.

Within 3 months they bought 160 acres and a private mountain.
7 months later they had Airbnb stays, a retreat center, and a venue generating $30k/month.

Now they help people do the same through Living The Off-Grid Dream and LandFunder.

In this interview we cover:

• Finding land for a homestead, retreat center, or freedom community
• Avoiding expensive land-buying mistakes
• Creative financing and owner-finance deals
• Building income-producing land projects
• Using AI to find land, funding, and opportunities faster

The Think and Act Locally podcast explores the quiet, powerful intersections where faith meets daily life and community action. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a series of grounded conversations on how spiritual principles can directly fuel practical work in your own neighborhood. Each episode delves into the real-world application of ideas, examining how education and entrepreneurial spirit, rooted in a sense of purpose, become tools for meaningful local engagement. You'll hear from people who are quietly building, supporting, and connecting within their communities, discussing both the successes and the challenges of creating tangible, positive change. The aim is to offer thoughtful reflection and actionable insight, reminding us that the most significant shifts often begin right where we are. Tune in for a podcast dedicated to the belief that thoughtful local action is a profound expression of both spirituality and citizenship.
