What better way to break in the new DBLS Studio then to have a couple OG's around the table?!?!? Our good friend and better than average land surveyor, Mr. Tim "No Filter" Evans, owner of Evans Professional Land Surveys, was our guest on Episode 2 which to this day is still one of the most downloaded episodes of all time! In the other chair was one of the nicest guys and biggest names in survey social media, Mr. Will "Tailgate Taco" Wing, owner of Infinity Land Surveying!! This was an absolute blast from start to finish and we hope you will agree! Steve Jobs was quoted. Music by Parker Millsap!!!

Ok...if you ever wanted to see DD completely out of his element, this is the show for you! All we can say is thank goodness for Peet and Suga! The cast was joined this week by Michelle Williams a Survey123 Jedi and she is amazing. If you're like DD and have little to no knowledge of Survey123, you're going to find tremendous value in this spirited conversation. One more tickler, Michelle's LI profile states that she "maps the crap out of your world"! If you need even more reason to listen, we also talked about finding your "why", the necessary components of a fruitful mentor/mentee relationship, and the power of having a good social media campaign. Bob Proctor was quoted. Music by Imagine Dragons!

We're always happier after a good ole fireside chat with the one and only Trent "TK" Keenan! This was podcast gold from start to finish. To say TK is a geospatial influencer doesn't begin to describe all that he does for the land surveying profession...and beyond. Do not miss this insightful and always entertaining chat with one of the most unselfish people in the industry. We talked about everything from starting a business, the keys to successfully building a business and what it takes to grow and sustain a business into the 21st century. Trust us when we say that there was a "wisdom drop" with every change of topic! Music by HARDY!!

As expected, the folks behind the coolest SLAM-based mobile mapping system did not disappoint! The guys were joined this week by Devon Sprunk, Account Executive & Noah Eckhous, Senior Customer Success Manager from NavVis. They were kind enough to carve some time out of their busy schedules to provide us with enough SLAM related content to make our heads spin. Just some of the topics discussed (besides Taylor Swift) include defining what SLAM is and is not, accuracy vs precision (and where surveyors fit in!), reality capture & digital twins, staying up to date with the relative hardware/software advancements and of course, what makes NavVis different!! Also, stay tuned for the results of a top secret curling related project…shhhh. DR. Georg (not Greg!!) Schroth was quoted. Music by Taylor Swift (argh)!

As we continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, the guys were joined this week by Chelsea Barraco & Michelle Pauley. These two are the epitome of confident, giving, intelligent, savvy and strong women. In fact, they may or may not have made DD & PS feel unworthy of being in their presence! Chelsea is a Commercial Realtor and philanthropist who enjoys serving as a connector of resources in a community. Michelle is a CRE Advisor, empowering leader and facilitator who's passion is helping people to build a strong legacy. These ladies have overcome the many challenges and stereotypes most women face while working in a male dominated profession. Do yourself a favor and give this a listen to be humbled and enlightened. G.D. Anderson was quoted. Music by Led Zeppelin!

Aloha Geoholics! One of the many unplanned benefits of producing this podcast is that we have the unique opportunity to help out fellow geospatial professionals from across the globe. This episode is a great example of just that. The guys were joined by Christine Chaplin, GISP, Meyer Cummins, LS and Gwen Gervelis, LS representing their respective professional organizations being the Hawaii Geographic Information Coordinating Council, Hawaii Land Surveyor Association and Alaska Society of Professional Land Surveyors. The discussion loosely focused on the inherent differences of surveying Alaska & Hawaii and more importantly promoting the Pacific Rim Geospatial Conference taking place March 16 & 17 in beautiful Honolulu, Hawai`i! Music by Weezer. Mahalo!
