I've been interested in real estate investing for some time but, until now, haven't actually taken the step toward educating myself.

What would you recommend for education on lease options?

First educate yourself here on BP, network, get your real estate license, get a part time job in real estate, learn all you can.

I'm in the process of finding local meetups, along with continuing real estate education online. 

@Chris CurryWithout any properties in your portfolio currently, you may want to find a CPA that has a heavy focus on the educational component of tax strategies for new real estate investors.

Start with someone who you’re comfortable with and will work with you and educate you - not just for this deal but to grow with you as you build your empire.

Would it be smart to train him and have him educate his self on the subject?

I want to be sure to address the right points in the video and also know what to research on a daily basis to be educated on what's happening in my area.

If you're going to manage for others, I highly recommend you read up on the laws and educate yourself on best practices.You should have a written management agreement between you and the client (Landlord).
