Happy Monday everyone and welcome back to the Modern Electrician Podcast!

It's Thanksgiving week! This is one of my all-time favorite weeks and favorite holidays! In today's conversation, we delve back into the territory of tradespeople being the keepers of ancient traditions. But, unlike my brief discussion of a local blacksmith forging ahead to keep his tradition's ancient techniques alive, today's guest is bringing an age-old tradition into the future using new technology. Surveying and map-making is one of the oldest trades and traditions in the world. And it's a trade that we often times take for granted. Nowadays, no one could get from point A to point B without a GPS system built into their phone. Not only that, but no one would be able to drive anywhere if it weren't for the roads and other infrastructure in place in our society. All of those luxuries that we take for granted on a daily basis come to us by way of surveyers and map-makers.

Today's guest is Jason Scott. Jason is a surveyer, data-collector, photographer and drone pilot. What's best, in my opinion, is that he did not graduate from a prestigious college with a Masters Degree in drone piloting... he simply followed his passions into a career field that he loves and now he finds himself in very high demand in his area. Oh... and he's my cousin.

I hope you all enjoy this conversation and can take something from it! Have the best Thanksgiving everyone!

Enjoy!
