Guten Tag! The Geoholics have broken down the Geo Wall and are taking Germany by storm! Tim Bauer, the Head of Geo AI (Artificial Intelligence) for Supper und Supper, joins us from Berlin. We had a spirited chat about the role AI currently plays in the world around us and the effects it could have on our future. Tim tells us about Pointly, a software he is helping to develop and implement for automatic classification and segmentation of data points and objects in 3D point clouds. A little known fact about Tim is that he was the proud winner of a first grade reading competition...before everyone got a trophy. Guess what…the US Survey foot is going away…I swear! Producer Jake is selling everything and living on a sailboat. Big Shoots has not slept in a week resulting in a retraction and Dilfy Dilf is convinced the world is headed off the rails and he too is considering minimalism.

Welcome to this meeting of Geoholics Anonymous! This is another “roundtable” format discussion touching on the current issues affecting the developing world. This panel is made up of Kent Groh, LS (Host of The Geoholics), Ryan Kelly, CP (Co-host of The Geoholics), Scott Phillips (President @ Ace Asphalt), James Murphy (CEO @ Willmeng), Rob Robichaud (VP Sales & Marketing @ Ace Asphalt) and Scott Sangster (Partner @ Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP). The topic of this GA meeting focuses on what true leadership will look like Post COVID19. We discuss the challenges of navigating a business through a global pandemic, how leadership is having to adapt to be successful, managing the associated risks, health & safety of employees and clients, de-globalization and the effects on urbanization.

Kyle Felder, LS is the Survey Manager at Red Plains Lender Surveys in Edmond, OK. He has been surveying for the better part of 15 years and is a 3rd generation land surveyor. Kyle is the Oklahoma Society of Land Surveyor's Young Survey Coordinator, a proud member of the NSPS Young Surveyor group and was voted the 2019 OSLS Surveyor of the Year by his peers. We discuss the fear of land surveying becoming a forgotten profession, the fact that there are only fifteen registered land surveyors in OK under the age of 35, how surveyors are stereotyped, and the idea of a national education requirement to become a professional land surveyor. We learn a little about a great new product from CivDrone, Producer Jake’s mom won’t let him get a tattoo, Big Shoots is afraid of getting a tattoo and Dilfy Dilf will get a Geoholics tattoo if the podcast hits 15K downloads by the one year anniversary! Please continue to support local small businesses.
