Show notes

The guys were joined this week by Nadine Alameh (a-la-may)! Nadine is the definition of a "leader" in the geospatial community. She is the CEO at Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), UN Geospatial Global Information Management board member, US National Geospatial Advisory Committee member, and passionate salsa dancer!! Needless to say this was a fun and informative conversation. Dr. Nik joined the discussion, Suga tries to rebound and DD introduces a new segment without telling anyone. Music by J-Lo!

Geoholics Anonymous - Aaron Michalenko, RPLS Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

Check out the this latest edition of Geoholics Anonymous! Our good friend Aaron Michalenko, RPLS sat down for an unscripted chat with Kent to talk about the next frontier for geospatial professionals...that being the metaverse! The metaverse can be defined as a simulated digital environment that uses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain, along with concepts from social media, to develop spaces for rich user interaction mimicking the real world. Don't miss the boat on this folks! Music by Aerosmith!

Episode 145 - Dr. Karen Joyce Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

The guys were joined this week by another geospatial influencer...Dr. Karen Joyce! Dr. Joyce is a biographer for Mother Earth, using satellites and drones as her scientific illustrators. She shares my experiences drawn from more than 20 years as a geospatial scientist in academia, military, industry, and small business to help people discover science beyond lab coats and test tubes. Dr. Joyce is passionate about how we can use drones and geospatial technology to watch over our environment and its changes. So the more people she can inspire to join her, the faster we can put plans in place to help keep our environment healthy into the future! There also may or may not have been a lengthy conversation about sea cucumber poop!?!?! Douglas Adams was quoted with music by Bon Jovi!!!

This was a two for the price of one week!

Such a great and insightful conversation with our new best friend from North of the border. Just a few of the items discussed include the challenges of promoting geomatics across Canada and abroad, engaging the next generation, how the geospatial professions are viewed differently across the globe, beers vs coffee and guidance from a geospatial career coach (Jon). Producer Sean nailed the lock of the week...note to self...make sure the lock of the week gets released before the game is played...argh. Simon Sinek was quoted with music by Stompin' Tom Connors.

We are so blessed to be able to talk to some of the most interesting people on the planet and this week is no different!

GeoTel has been in business for over 20 years and is the leading provider of telecommunications infrastructure data in a geographic information system (GIS) and Internet-based spatial technologies. GeoTel takes telecom infrastructure data and makes it tangible. GeoTel’s highly developed databases encompass nearly 5 million miles of fiber routes and 370K cell sites! We touched on the GIS/geospatial relationship, the importance of spatial data analytics, the future of fiber and communication in general, what it means to be "lit", communicating in the metaverse and a bunch of other nerdy telecom stuff. Don't miss Producer Sean's very first "degenerate lock(s) of the week"! Joe Rogan was quoted with music by Badfinger (best tv series final outro song ever)!
