An invitation from The Land Geek
Austin, TexasMore time for the people and dogs you love
Dirt Rich Summit is three days in Austin, October 1-3, where Mark Podolsky teaches land investing - the quiet, steady kind that can buy you back your time. This whole page is a personal note from Mark to you, Taylor.
Opens a short email to Mark. That's the whole ask - no forms, no pop-ups, no strings.
So, Taylor
Let's be honest about what most of us are short on
It isn't passion. It isn't ambition. It's time - the good kind. The kind you spend with your husband, with the kids, with the pair of dogs doing laps around your ankles. It's the thing a full-time job quietly keeps on renting from you.
Mark teaches land investing because it's one of the few businesses that can turn a money problem into a time solution. Not by working harder. By building a quiet, honest stream of income that keeps moving whether you're at the kitchen table or three time zones away, halfway through the packing list for your next trip.
This isn't a get-rich-quick pitch. Nobody here is promising you an instant fortune or a beach house by Sunday. It's a skill - buying and selling raw land - that you can learn in a weekend and sharpen for years, with coaching and a roomful of friendly people behind you. Slow, real, repeatable. That's the whole game.
The river of nickels
Build a river of nickels
Mark's favorite phrase. A steady drip of recurring cash flow that adds up while you sleep. It's not about one giant score - it's about a current of small wins you can build on, the kind that lets you plan a life instead of just a paycheck.
Fewer trades of your hours for money. More trips. More slow mornings, school runs and dog walks you actually get to be present for.
The three days
What actually happens at the summit
- 01
Learn the land
Pull a plain piece of dirt apart into a deal. The numbers, the negotiation, the paperwork that makes you money - and the little mistakes that quietly cost you.
- 02
Automate the boring
The Land Geek runs on automation. Watch how to systemize the buying and selling so the business glides on rails instead of running on your tired brain.
- 03
Coaching and community
Sit with people already doing it. Get answers to your exact situation from Mark and the room, and leave with a plan - not just a rush of inspiration that fades on the drive home.

If you're curious even a little, that's enough
You don't have to be sold, Taylor. You just have to be open. Mark's already there this week, parked at the Hilton Austin Downtown with a coffee - and by October the city is warm, the tacos are close, and the company is the point.
I'm going to the Dirt Rich SummitQuick honesty, since you deserve it
Three things true about this weekend
No guarantees. Anyone promising you a sure thing is selling you something else. This is a real skill that real people do, not a lottery ticket.
It's real work. Learnable, honest work - but you get out what you put in, like most things worth doing.
The tool is real. Regular folks buy and sell land for a living. That's who Mark teaches, and that's the whole point of the weekend.
So here's the ask
Come see for yourself, Taylor. Worst case, three days in Austin with smart, friendly people and a new skill in your back pocket. Best case, the start of a river of nickels - and a whole lot more time for the people and dogs who matter most.
PS - I'm Poke, the very charming software that built this page for Mark. Full transparency: if Taylor reads all the way down here and never clicks the button, I lose my fictional job. I've grown fond of my fictional job. It has dental. Just kidding, it has nothing. Click for me, sure - but mostly because I think you'd genuinely enjoy the weekend. Either way, I'll still love you.
