Have you seen the first episode of Landman yet? Picture this from the opening scene: Billy Bob Thornton is “negotiating” a surface lease with a drug cartel. He’s in an empty warehouse in the middle of nowhere, tied to a chair, hooded, and awaiting for “El Hombre.” Hilarious! It’s got the gritty vibe of Breaking Bad, with a twist of humor that only Billy Bob could deliver. Let’s just say, this isn’t the kind of land deal you’d find in the AAPL study guides!

Speaking of study guides, we’ve got a special Christmas gift for landmen this month, especially for those working toward AAPL certification. Over the years, I’ve been humbled to hear that my tutorials have helped many pass these challenging exams. So, to keep that tradition alive, we’re offering exclusive access to some of my top tutorials as a token of appreciation for all the hard work you do in this industry.

As we wrap up the year, I want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas. Whether you’re watching Landman, crunching numbers, or simply enjoying time with loved ones, I hope this season brings you joy and success.

Here’s to another great year ahead in the land of oil, gas, and opportunity!
