47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: States Air Force. What did you do in the Air Force?

48
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 3: Well, I was in the Air Force for twenty four years.

49
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: First twelve of those twenty four I was an AMMO troop,

50
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: so essentially a glorified logistician that dealt with everything that

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: blows up. Learned how to drink, party, drive trucks, drive forklifts,

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: warehouse things, ms.

53
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yes, I yes.

54
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: If you ain't AMMO shit, that's it, or you're like

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: me guy, and did twelve years you cross train and

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: I became a SE one thirty load master.

57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, kidd huh lis there.

58
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: You know, my dad was a Green Beret Special Forces

59
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: guy and he was also a load master for his unit.

60
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: No way, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. He would be like, yeah,

61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I got it.

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: That's all he'd ever tell me that I got it.

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. Just stay off my plane. Yeah, man,

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: because it's your plane. Yeah, you're the loadmaster. It's at

65
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: that point, it's you're deciding it, right.

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 4: Pilot then commands the dude, but I speak for him,

67
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 4: and therefore that's my plane.

68
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: So let me ask you something about the load that

69
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: took off from like Kandahar years ago or one of

70
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: those you know, probably that C five, maybe C seventeen

71
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: taken off.

72
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: Seven seven, the white one. Are you talking about the

73
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: big white one that came up and then cartwill.

74
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, probably so yeah.

75
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: If that was a load restrength, they had mixed load restraints,

76
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 4: so chains and straps and these things break and fail

77
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: at different rates, and that led to some armored vehicles

78
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 4: falling towards the back of the aircraft.

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: Which by itself is is awful because.

80
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: Your weight and balance is way off its way in

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: the back and you have a high risk of stalling out.

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: But it also took out the flight controls, so all

83
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: the hydraulics for the vertical and horizontal stabilizer became.

84
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: An operative at that point, and there was no put

85
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: There was no way.

86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: There's never recover. They're just gonna fall out of the

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: sky like that.

88
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Yep, that's what's happened, I see, all right, from a

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: load master's point of view right there, all right, for

90
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: those of us that have seen that, thanks for kind

91
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: of giving us some insight on that situation.

92
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Right now.

93
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: Being a loadmaster is where you can put like, okay,

94
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: see what thirty can hold x amount of troops, or

95
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: can hold x amount of weight with the vehicles, or

96
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: you can hold x amount of vehicle and troops. So

97
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: you know that's that was your goal is to know

98
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: every you know aspect of that, right.

99
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. We had a DASH nine that

100
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 3: we could reference, so like tap one, tap two.

101
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: You know, personnel and maybe you're loading up ninety two

102
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: troops and they have all their baggage, so you can

103
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: do ninety two and one with the palette the rear.

104
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 4: It changed over the course of my career. I was

105
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 4: E NH Models first and then I went to the

106
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: J meaning it had two more palette positions, so like

107
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: a total of eight. But we also did things like

108
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: air drop and cool shit like that. Would go out

109
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: and drop things for folks that needed it really bad,

110
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: or you know exercises. We'd airborne dudes like your dad,

111
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: they jump out of the airplane and we'd help.

112
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: Make that back up the jump master.

113
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: When the back door drops down, are you hooked up

114
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: like with like what they call a monkey tail and

115
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: chinooks and whatnot.

116
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So if we're doing tailgate operations.

117
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: If we proceed past that that line, the line where

118
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: the ramp crest is, we have to hook up, and

119
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: it's it's like a monkey tail, it's just a little

120
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: bit longer. Essentially, just not letting us fall out of

121
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 4: the airplane. And then if we're doing you know, true

122
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: door ops, the side doors that they usually go out of,

123
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: we don't necessarily need to hook up.

124
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: We just need to not fall out.

125
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, just not fall out while they sit there and

126
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: pull their static lines aside and they're just kind of

127
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: hanging out while the jump master's in charge of all

128
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: of that. And then okay, my loads out the we're

129
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: good and back to the air force base.

130
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, we open the door and make it look like

131
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: we know what we're doing. We kick the platform out

132
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 3: and look out as if we have a clue as

133
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: to what they're looking for.

134
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: And then we kicked back and open up the door

135
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: and give it to the jump master and it's all

136
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: them from there.

137
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: You ever capture yourself hanging off the edge of the

138
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: back of the sea whe thirty doing those cool kind

139
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: of like dangling your legs and kind of flights like photos.

140
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 3: I can neither actually I'm out now. Yes I have

141
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: done that.

142
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: I love that you're like neither confirmed nor deny. But

143
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: one time I got sucked right out.

144
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: You know, we always joked like that last flight before

145
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: you retire, you're just gonna put on your your parachute

146
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: and like jump out, you know, not laying with the aircraft.

147
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: Then we always thought about.

148
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: You know, life support and whether or not those parachutes

149
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 4: have worked very well and how long they sit on

150
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: the aircraft.

151
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: So we decided not to do that.

152
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could imagine, you know, I've watched dad jump

153
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: out of those. I've been through sea when thirties as

154
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: a young man, you know, going through all of that

155
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. I actually saw more hanging out with

156
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: my dad as like a ten eleven, twelve fourteen year old,

157
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: and he was green bray than ever in the Air Force.

158
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: It was really interesting.

159
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: So would you do in the Air Force?

160
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: Well?

161
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: I was supposed to go on and do full fledged

162
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: security forces, but I was injured and so I got

163
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: a U turn and it directed me back into civilian life.

164
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: And so now what I do is I do large

165
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: scale wargames, and I've been doing that for about twenty

166
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: years now. And guys that have been out, guys that

167
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: are in, guys that could never join, that have asthma,

168
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: you know, someone who's never had the chance to even

169
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: see a C one thirty. They come out to us

170
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: and fight with us, and then they might fight with

171
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: someone like yourself who's out and you're like telling them, like, hey,

172
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: move over to the right and we're going to attack

173
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: this compound. And then after that they're going to talk

174
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: to you and say, whoa mister Deed's.

175
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: You were in the Air Force, bro? Like, yeah, that's

176
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: something I did.

177
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: And they had a little bit of a shoulder shoulder

178
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: moment with someone who's been there and done that. You know,

179
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: a veteran has a lot of rock star attitude, right,

180
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: and how do they take that rockstarness and shine it?

181
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: You know?

182
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: And so we have a stage and if you're out

183
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: there fighting with us in wargames, bro, it's gonna you're

184
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: gonna be the rock star out there real fast. It's

185
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: gonna just you know, today's air softer is tomorrow's. You know,

186
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: see one thirty, load Master is tomorrow's. Navy Seal Sniper

187
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: is tomorrow's you know, uh Marine Corps cook all right,

188
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: because every marine I've met has been a sniper. Let

189
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: me tell you all about it. Where's the cook? I

190
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: want to meet the cook. I want to meet the

191
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: guy that says he's a cook.

192
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: I thought we had a marine on here doing that.

193
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: I have, no, we don't, so I'm actually picking on

194
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: the I love the Marines. I also love the Navy.

195
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: I have a real fondness for the Navy because it's

196
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: only as I'm older in life.

197
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: That the pirate's life for me bro okay.

198
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: And the fact is they got the Air Force on water,

199
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: they got the infantry on water. That's pretty bad ass

200
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: to be on water and having to do all of

201
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: these tasks that we get to do on dry land.

202
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: So the Navy, in my mind, is just like a

203
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: step above a lot of the other branches because they're

204
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: doing it on water like eighty percent of the time.

205
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: Right backpacking Army, you can't. I mean, they're backpacking and

206
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: swimming like I don't even know what do you think

207
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: it's actually?

208
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 5: If I could jump in there, yeah, I have a

209
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 5: nephew that's in the Navy right now, and I gave

210
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 5: him a very long and still give him a very

211
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 5: long hard time just because that's what we're supposed to do.

212
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 6: But I am, I am. I am very impressed with

213
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 6: all the stuff that he does. I don't show that

214
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 6: and I tell him that, but I do. I do.

215
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 6: I am very impressed in what he does because people

216
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 6: them that I am army and he is Navy, and

217
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 6: I am better.

218
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: So of course, you know. And and the thing is

219
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: is like they're doing the job on a boat.

220
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's real and in a wave like

221
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, they're like, you know, the horizon

222
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 2: is always down and up on them and they're still

223
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: like just cranking away on a bolt where we get

224
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: a crank on that same bolt on dry land.

225
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: Thank you Navy. I just want a shout out.

226
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 3: I got like top coun vibes coming off of this

227
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: running through my head.

00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,400

233
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: I was. Yeah.

234
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 7: So my career ended a little abruptly back as when

235
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 7: I wanted it to. So I did about almost sixteen years.

236
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 7: My first twelve years. I was field artillery, so I

237
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 7: played Canon. Yeah, so I did thirteen series and then

238
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 7: beginning of my career, had an opportunity to go to

239
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 7: Raven School and launched UAV three aero vironment and I

240
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 7: just fell in love with it and it kind of

241
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 7: just stuck with me throughout my whole time as artillery.

242
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 7: So I was actually getting ready to ets to go

243
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 7: take a job to b a small UAV instructor and

244
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 7: I got an email from Warren Officer Recruiting saying that

245
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 7: it was fully qualified to become a drone warrant.

246
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: It's like I.

247
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 7: Called warrant recruiting and I said, hey, I think you

248
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 7: guys made a mistake saying this to me, and they said, no,

249
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 7: we don't make mistakes on your packet.

250
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah.

251
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 7: So I had had a very short window to apply.

252
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 7: I had about three months to get letters of recommendations

253
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 7: and I ended up getting selected. So I went from

254
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,479
Speaker 7: walks to aviation Whobik all the way through the US

255
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 7: Technician course about a year long at schooling and ended

256
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 7: up being a UAS Warrant officer for the rest of

257
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 7: my career. But due to a jump injury that I

258
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 7: had back in twenty fourteen, did some deployments to eastern Afghanistan,

259
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 7: had a lot of injuries and so getting ready to

260
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 7: go to Ranger Regiment, went for my physical and they said,

261
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 7: not only are you not going to the regiment, you're

262
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 7: not continuing your time in the army. So I yeah, yeah,

263
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 7: I got medically retired. They're taking care of me though,

264
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 7: the Army and the VAS done really well.

265
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

266
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 7: So I've just been doing drones out in this feeling

267
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 7: world ever since.

268
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: And that's u a V right, unmounted aerial vehicle for

269
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: my listener out there. That just here's that acronym, and

270
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: what's use u A at UAS So.

271
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 7: It's uncrewed autonomous systems right. So, Uh, the fa over

272
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 7: the years has changed the terminology used to be on man,

273
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 7: now it's on crude. But yeah, so when we say

274
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 7: UAS on crewed autonomous systems, that means we're referring to

275
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 7: the aircraft, the controller, all components of it. If we

276
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 7: say UA V, it's just speaking specifically about the vehicle, right,

277
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 7: So at the end of the day, they're kind of

278
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 7: the same.

279
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

280
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 7: There's so much terminology though, and the FAA keeps keeps

281
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 7: switching up the global standard, right, so we just recently

282
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 7: switched to uncrude and then manned aircraft are out crude

283
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 7: right so but yeah, so I've been doing that ever

284
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 7: since retirement. This is my third job since I got

285
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 7: retired doing doing drones. So I had a lot of

286
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 7: cool opportunities in it.

287
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 6: Though.

288
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 7: I got to deploy do Eastern Africa with NSW to

289
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 7: do Switchblade.

290
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 8: It's gotten a lot of really cool opportunities.

291
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: NSW is that Naval Special Warfare.

292
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 8: It is, yeah, same army though. Yeah, so I was.

293
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 7: I was a contractor when I retired, I see, and

294
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 7: I got we had a contract, so I gotta do

295
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,599
Speaker 7: a lot of really cool, cool stuff with that organization

296
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 7: with various platforms. But yeah, so then I came to

Speaker 7: really good backgrounds in uas that are looking at them

316
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 7: to the company, and so we do a lot of

317
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 7: work with them. But but yeah, absolutely, and it's not

318
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say it's just even uas like veterans who

319
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 7: you know are looking for work, definitely check out Skydio

320
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 7: because granted, like we're we're a drone company, right, but

321
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 7: not everyone hears drone pilots obviously, right like.

322
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: Right, yes, brackets brackets that there's probably crew chiefs all

323
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: the way down to administration that can come on.

324
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 7: Board or you know, yeah, everything from logistics to engineering

325
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 7: to training.

326
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: We've got who's injured and still capable can still apply

327
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: and try to get a job and you know, feel

328
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: some fulfillment in themselves if they're sitting there moping around.

329
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Yeah, SCTTIO is. Our recruiting program is is top

330
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 7: notch too. They I think Skatio has really figured it

331
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 7: out when it comes to hiring. It was definitely a

332
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 7: unique onboarding process than any other company Will works for.

333
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 7: It was more of a selection process rather than a

334
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 7: typical job interview.

335
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 8: But it works right.

336
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 7: It makes sense because there's I haven't met a person

337
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 7: at Skutia that I go, how did you get here?

338
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Right?

339
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 7: Everyone here is smarter than me, and it's and it's

340
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 7: just a constant challenge to get.

341
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: Thing just makes sense. You're just like, okay, you're here,

342
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: You're here, everybody's here. Why am I here?

343
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

344
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: Exactly, I'm here. I fly the drone. I fly the drone.

345
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: Did you get a flight suit at sky you get

346
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: to wear a flight suit?

347
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

348
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 7: It's a big, big fluorescent yellow one headed so yeah,

349
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 7: it's got a big old Scottia logo on the back.

350
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: Would be in two x L just saying two x tall,

351
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: extra sexy.

352
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 8: Ye get that extra alarm bicep ones?

353
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, exactly.

354
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to wear the one you have to wear,

355
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: the one with the denim cut off.

356
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: I will wear the one with the denim cut off short.

357
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: I will do that. I will do that.

358
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: That's the next ear thing, Josh.

359
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: But that would actually be good for air conditioning purposes

360
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: and maneuverability and you know, and actually you know if

361
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: you could just have like a little flat to go

362
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: to the restroom, even better.

363
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 7: Absolutely, we'll make it work. Yeah, we'll start designing that now.

364
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife just bought a full on snowboard onesie

365
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: underlayer thermal that has the flat that opens up so

366
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: you can just sit down. And I was like, yes,

367
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: because if you've been ever in a full on onesie

368
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 2: and you have to go, you have to like basically

369
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: just get naked.

370
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 8: Why why did you get undressed? Just live it naturally, man,

371
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 8: You don't have to get in dressed just like a Yeah.

372
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question about personal hygiene while

373
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: flying the drones?

374
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 8: Sure?

375
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: So, if you have like an.

376
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: Eight hour mission and you're flying that with an army

377
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: or skidie or whatever the case may be, are you

378
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: allowed bathroom breaks or are you hooked up.

379
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: To the.

380
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 6: What?

381
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

382
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 8: No, so it's definitely you put.

383
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: It on autopilot and just walk away and go to the restroom.

384
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 7: Sure, so our aircraft fly an average of thirty to

385
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 7: thirty five minutes, and you're typically not by yourself. So

386
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 7: in the event of hey, hold to control, our.

387
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 8: Need to run too. The pot real quick.

388
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 7: In the Army was a little bit different because our

389
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 7: aircraft could fly. One aircraft HULD fly for nine hours.

390
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 7: You're inside of an actual containerized ground control station. The

391
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 7: Gragle could fly upwards of twenty four hours. So those

392
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 7: you would have to, you know, tell your your co

393
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 7: pilot if you will a watch it controls them.

394
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick.

395
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

396
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 7: So I don't think I've ever had a situation where

397
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 7: I'm like, crap, the aircraft's up and I need to go,

398
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 7: and I have nothing I can do, and if I'm

399
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 7: in that boat, I'm by myself anyways, So I'm just

400
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 7: gonna pop the squad right there and have at it.

401
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so then I just have to say, there's

402
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: like the female drone pilots mm hmm, Okay, do they

403
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: get a chance to take a break to go use

404
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 2: the facilities or are they hooked up to that machine

405
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: that is supposed to like take care of their business,

406
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: but it can malfunction on them.

407
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 7: No, I've never seen an issue between male and females

408
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 7: when it comes to the restroom breaks like in the

409
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 7: drone the drone community, like we usually, especially when you

410
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 7: get to the larger systems that require runways, you usually

411
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 7: have a platoon of thirty plus soldiers. So I mean,

412
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 7: if it's a case of like they have to go

413
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 7: and there's no other options, like there's something really really

414
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 7: wrong bathroom.

415
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 8: Breaks, probably like police for worries if we're in the situation.

416
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean, Yeah, I met an F eighteen pilot female

417
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to give her call sign out

418
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: because I don't want to call her out. But she

419
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: said that her device malfunctioned like three hours into the flight. Okay,

420
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: and so she and for guys, you can just pee

421
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: into the pee into.

422
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: It to the pack. Yeah, the pittle pack, thank you.

423
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: She had to have like some special suction device attached

424
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: to her that was if she had to go, it

425
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 2: had to like you know, it wasn't a pitdle packet,

426
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: cause all these puddles all over her F eighteen. She

427
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: had to go, and it was like everywhere. So she's

428
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: flying and I had a land on an aircraft carrier

429
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: and then opened up the cockpit and everywhere was all

430
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: these puddles.

431
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: Of urine and what's a girl to do?

432
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 2: So I only asked that because that's in my mind, okay,

433
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: And I'm.

434
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: Like, oh, drone pilot, eight hour drone flight, do you

435
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: have to go?

436
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 2: You know, like what about a girl's And I'm just

437
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: you know, equal opportunity drone pilot here.

438
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, it's yeah, I think it's it's a good consideration.

439
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 7: I think it's the benefit of of the U the

440
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 7: drone world though, right is that like we're not stuck

441
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 7: in the cockpit, right, Uh yeah, we're not stuck behind

442
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 7: the controls, limited in a seat belt. We have the

443
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 7: ability to be a little bit more, a little bit

444
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 7: more relaxed when it comes to grow procedures with you know,

445
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 7: regarding like that.

446
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 8: Kind of stuff. But considerations though, yeah, suah, yeah.

447
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 4: I would say something about Skedio drones. It's different than

448
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 4: everybody else. Is our autonomy, our ability to do things,

449
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: set up a mission and just monitor be a BEI

450
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 4: just we're just watching at that point.

451
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: This is a flying.

452
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: Supercomputer that's about this big with a little controller.

453
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 8: And I was just down in.

454
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: Florida flying recovery efforts from.

455
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: Hurricane Milton with Brian King there, and I was doing

456
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: mapping missions over neighborhoods that were already inundated, some some

457
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 4: homes completely underwater and not seeing the cresting of that

458
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: flooding until later today, maybe early tomorrow. And I would

459
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: set up a mission over a broad swath of area

460
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 4: that takes thousands of photos. And I was eating the

461
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 4: star crunch and drinking some gatorade and BS and with

462
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 4: the sheriff dude that was there with us, looked just

463
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 4: like Farva, I swear to God, and you're just having it,

464
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: just having a good time like Shenanigans. But we could

465
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 4: do that because of this platform, and to everybody's point,

466
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 4: like that's what sets us apart, Like we have this

467
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: tiny little drone with massive capabilities, and we don't have

468
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 4: to sit there and make sure it doesn't mess up,

469
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 4: it doesn't mess up on its own.

470
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: Right, And you touched on this right now. So currently

471
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: while we're filming this, you know, the hurricanes have been

472
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: hitting the panhandles in the east coast Florida, and whatnot.

473
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: So Skydeo has rallied up a crew.

474
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: You're one of them also, Brian is and you guys

475
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 2: have gone down there to help with reconnaissance and recovery

476
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: or you know, identify buying anything that might need to

477
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: be like with for the probably Armory Corps of engineers

478
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: that need to see like is this breaking, is the

479
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: dam breaking?

480
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: You know, any of that kind of stuff. You guys

481
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: are being able to help with that.

482
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: Brian can speak to this a lot. He supports the law. Brian,

483
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 3: he's down there in Florida.

484
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 6: Can you hear me? Good?

485
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: We hear you.

486
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 6: So, Yeah, we've been down there as well as Josh.

487
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 6: But we I'm able to get message gut you pretty

488
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 6: quickly understanding could you You'd be surprised on how many

489
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 6: kind of hurricane Alley don't understand what when a hurricane

490
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 6: is kind of I mean, and how to prepare for it.

491
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 6: So getting that information out to Scudio. As far back

492
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 6: as UH two, when Hurricane Ian came ashore, we were

493
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 6: able to position gear ahead uh so that we support

494
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 6: our agencies while they were and when I say flying,

495
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 6: I mean eight to twelve hours like earlier. A lot

496
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 6: of flying. We have an agency right now that they

497
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 6: did two hundred and fifty flights in like three and

498
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 6: a half days. One agency in a whole list of

499
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 6: agencies that were affected. I'm going into the structural in

500
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 6: Texas buildings and so on and so forth. We're able

501
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 6: to use our autonomy on sky and basically just set

502
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 6: some parameters and the drone and goes in and creates

503
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 6: a win of that area. I had to go downtown

504
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 6: Saint Petersburg, Florida on Saturday, I think it, and do

505
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 6: what we call a three D scan of a you

506
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 6: know those touch giant cranes they do construction with these,

507
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 6: They are real skinny. Yeah, And so about three hundred

508
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 6: feet up, a portion of that fell off during the

509
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 6: hurricane and fell on top of another building. I'd be

510
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 6: happy to share that with you too, but they it

511
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 6: was it was like it was almost it's like a

512
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 6: Universal Studios mock up of of a of a catastrophe

513
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 6: because it was just wasn't it just felt surreal And

514
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 6: so we were able to do take our drone, set

515
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 6: the parameters and it went in, went around, went around,

516
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 6: the crane, went around the building, and it creates enough

517
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 6: data points for us to to stitch them together so

518
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 6: that not only you can use this over time for

519
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 6: maybe insurance reasons, investigational reasons, but just it's a marker

520
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 6: in history of what happened there. You know, so super

521
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 6: happy to be able to respond to our agencies. You know,

522
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 6: I can maybe it's maybe you know, we had some

523
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 6: people there that were vets. Me and Mike were there,

524
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 6: and there's a handful of others. We have some people

525
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 6: that weren't vets, uh, and but we all just kind

526
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 6: of we grind it out with a couple of r v's. Uh.

527
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 6: Some of us were lucky to give hotel rooms. But

528
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 6: it was it was fun. It brings out the It

529
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 6: brings out that little bit of a green man army

530
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 6: man aside of me when I when I get stuff

531
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 6: like that. So my wife's like, Thursday morning, the storm

532
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 6: hits Florida, and I like my nine thirty that morning,

533
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 6: I'm packing the truck. She's like, where are you going?

534
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, Yeah, there's just something in you guys that

535
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 2: you know, all of our veterans out there that have

536
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: that call to serve mentality, whether you're being paid or not,

537
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: there's some type of something inside of you, whether it's

538
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 2: helping the neighbor out just taking a step over in

539
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 2: their direction, or just helping them out, you know.

540
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: So that's probably.

541
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 2: One quality you guys look for at Skydio in a

542
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: veteran or somebody that's applying, is just a little selflessness

543
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: to the mission, just making sure that it gets the

544
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 2: job done. And then also my question is maybe any

545
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 2: of you can answer who you can point to, whoever

546
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: wants to answer this. If I rad was to come

547
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: to Skydio and apply to be a drone operator, what's

548
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: the one thing that you would advise somebody to have

549
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: already kind of on their resume. Is it a certain

550
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 2: schooling of like, you know, is it geometry? Are you

551
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: guys looking for someone that's already you know, got a

552
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: business degree you know, that can fly a drone or

553
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: do they need a pilot's license?

554
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: Can you give me some type of sure?

555
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, please, Yeah, I can hop on this one.

556
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 7: So there's a couple of industry standard certifications that are

557
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 7: definitely good to have, right. So, there's the FA Part

558
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 7: one O seven, which is the Small Unmanned Air PREFT

559
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 7: Systems Commercial Pilot License, Right, So that allows you to

560
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 7: fly to get paid and it be done legally. So

561
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 7: part one of seven is definitely a really really nice

562
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 7: to have. I think a lot of it too, is

563
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 7: specific backgrounds. So like instructor trainer jobs. I've seen some

564
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 7: people come through that have really deep backgrounds in like education,

565
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 7: like from the military, being instructors in the military. And

566
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 7: in fact, a lot of our training team came from

567
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 7: from teaching, you know, drones in the military.

568
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 8: But we also have people on that team.

569
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 7: That weren't prior you in srastructors, but they they hold

570
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 7: certain attributes, right, like because you know, to be a teacher,

571
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 7: you got to be comfortable with public speaking, right, right,

572
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 7: And so a lot of times two we look for

573
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 7: industry experts, right. So if you look at our global

574
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 7: government seeming on the defense side, each of us, even

575
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 7: the three on this call, like we all have a

576
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 7: very unique set of skills, but you know, kind of

577
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 7: like Liam Neeson and Taken, like we've all been trained

578
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 7: in the very set of skills and and together it

579
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 7: forms a really really good team because we each have

580
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 7: our own areas of expertise we call yeah, yeah, and uh,

581
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 7: but yeah, I think and I think a lot of

582
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 7: it too, is just having motivation and make change is

583
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 7: a big one and that really gets That may sound cliche,

584
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 7: but Scottie was really really big about that because we've

585
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 7: been around ten years, but we're still considered a smaller

586
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 7: company and there's there's no idea here that goes into

587
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 7: trash can, right. And and I think that's what's huge

588
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 7: for BET because as a veteran myself, I experienced when

589
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 7: I got out was and I won't name companies, but

590
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 7: first couple of companies I worked at. You know, I

591
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 7: had all this motivation and drive and this experience I

592
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 7: had that I wanted to put somewhere right. For sixteen years,

593
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 7: it was one hundred percent NonStop, and I wanted to

594
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 7: have an ability to get to place that somewhere and

595
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 7: the option is never there was well we've been around

596
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 7: for thirty years, forty years, like this is the way

597
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 7: this runs. You're not making change, right, And that was

598
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 7: my biggest, biggest pripe was like I want to be

599
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 7: creative and use that energy and I couldn't. And I

600
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 7: think that's what's really nice about Skydio is that there's

601
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 7: no there's no bad idea here, right, and no idea

602
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 7: just gets overlooked. So that's that's a huge thing for

603
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 7: bets too, I think is is I'd say me, we're

604
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 7: a little bit of adrenaline junkies, right, So yes, there's

605
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 7: there's opportunities to do that here as well. So but yeah, yeah,

606
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 7: go ahead.

607
00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: No.

608
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 6: I wanted to jump in there because I think a

609
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 6: lot of us vets share a unique skill set and

610
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 6: that we don't we always look to do something outside

611
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 6: the box. You know, we're always looking to quote unquote

612
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 6: accomplish the mission. Even if there's a wall that's twenty

613
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 6: feet high, we'll call somebody out and say, hey, you

614
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 6: know how to get over that wall. Let's make a

615
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 6: team and make it happen. You know, let's let's find

616
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 6: a way to make things happen. And when I know,

617
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 6: when I'm going through interview processes with with bringing people

618
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 6: on board VET or not VET, prior law enforcement, whatever

619
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 6: the case be. In college grad, I look for that,

620
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 6: you know, I look for that skill set of being

621
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 6: understanding like, yeah, I understand there's a wall there, but

622
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 6: I don't have all the answers, but I know where

623
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 6: to find the answers.

624
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm really impressed. I'm literally like, how do you get

625
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: on at Skidio.

626
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 6: But well, but joking.

627
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: Aside, it's like if you if I was working and

628
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you showed up to do this

629
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: job at the Seed, I would be like, how do

630
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: you get that job?

631
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: And a lot of people ask that, right, And we're

632
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 4: constantly growing, And to both of these gentlemen's points, there's

633
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 4: a few things that we definitely look for, and there's

634
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 4: obviously there's obviously been a general like idea of how

635
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 4: we do stuff, and it's very similar to what I

636
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 4: assume a lot of the people you talk to had

637
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 4: done things in their prior military careers. Now, first off,

638
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 4: I was not special Forces. I supported them sometimes and

639
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: even deployed on occasion and support of special people doing

640
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 4: cool things. But this organization Skidio is at least on

641
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 4: our side of the house, our global government side of

642
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 4: the house, which is where Josh and I work, and

643
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 4: I see it extending into the law enforcement. So it

644
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 4: is a corporation wide feeling of a flat and fast organization.

645
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: Right the newest youngest do has just a impactful voice

646
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 4: when vetting ideas and bringing up things that may need improvement.

647
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 4: As the most senior person and That's super important because

648
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: that newest guy with that lowest level of experience may

649
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 4: see things differently than everybody else did previously, right, And

650
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 4: that's super important. But one of the key things that

651
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 4: I think is prevalent across the entire company, whether you're

652
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 4: talking to Brian or Josh or me or anybody on

653
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: our teams. Yes, it's a passion for what we're doing.

654
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 4: If you don't bring with you that inherent passion for UAVs,

655
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 4: for service for aviation in general, then you're probably not

656
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 4: gonna be picked up for that slot because we're gonna

657
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: look for that person that comes.

658
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: With that passion, because that fills a lot of.

659
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 4: The gaps, Like when it may suck the worst and

660
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: things are really hard and challenging, that passion sometimes is

661
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 4: what keeps you at the grindstone to like drive through

662
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 4: and get things done.

663
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: One hundred percent.

664
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: One hundred percent passion in what you love to do

665
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: will just keep you going. Right, If you believe in

666
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: it so much and someone tells you no, you look

667
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: at them like, I believe in it, though, I'm gonna

668
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: walk away with this and I'm so passionate about it.

669
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: And you know, you try to that's the most entrepreneurs

670
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: are passionate about something when they're out of a job. Right,

671
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: the definition of an entrepreneur is someone who's out of

672
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: a job. They're like, Oh, what am I going to

673
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: do for myself?

674
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh?

675
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: What am I really good at? Well, I'm really good

676
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: at call of Duty and controllers. Maybe I could work

677
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: at Skydio and drive the robot, you know. I mean,

678
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: there's just like, what are you going to be good at?

679
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: You know, how are you going to bring that? Maybe

680
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: you know coding, maybe no HTML, you know how to program, right,

681
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: and you could be really passionate about it. It's like

682
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: how do you how do you put it onto canvas? Though,

683
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, like how do you

684
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: get that out of you? So it seems like Skydio,

685
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: you know. And I'm not saying that you guys are

686
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: the end all for every veteran to come and apply,

687
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: but you guys have a very healthy environment for that

688
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: type of persona.

689
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. And I think too.

690
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 7: Kind of go back to to what Brian was saying earlier,

691
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 7: was when Hurricane Milton was coming and they put out

692
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 7: the message that like, hey, we need to start prepping

693
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 7: a team for the upcoming hurricane. Like myself and Mike

694
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 7: were at a government offsite out in Dallas and just

695
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 7: like the.

696
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 8: The reaction like there was no like, well, why do

697
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 8: we have to do this?

698
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 7: It was an immediate like we went to a separate

699
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 7: conference room, we started pulling up resources.

700
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 8: What do you got? What do you got?

701
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 7: What do you And it reminded me a lot of

702
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 7: like when I'm listening to the military of like, hey,

703
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 7: you have this operation you have to go do you

704
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 7: only have twenty four hours of planet? Go and figure

705
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 7: out your own resources on the way. And I think

706
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 7: that's where that mentality, like that mentality comes in because

707
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 7: they can go, Okay, I know how to plan this out,

708
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 7: I know what to look for. They can you know,

709
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 7: thinking those tiny little details that maybe the other person

710
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 7: doesn't think about. And so that mentality to you know,

711
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 7: golf of what Mike was saying is just that's huge

712
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 7: here and you come with no certifications.

713
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 8: They're good. That mentality, Yeah, like absolutely love you.

714
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: I knew you'd say that at one point.

715
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: I knew it wasn't just like you have to have

716
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: like every single X on the resume, because if there

717
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: is somebody that can fit the bill.

718
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: You'll know, you'll know.

719
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: And if they come to you and approach you and

720
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 2: have that Genesse quack, then then there it is right.

721
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: True story.

722
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: Now, now, I know none of us are in an

723
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: airport right now, and I feel like I'm hearing a

724
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 2: restaurant in the background.

725
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: Am I hearing that? Are you hearing that, mister Deeds?

726
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird. It's almost as if we're in an

727
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: airport all of a sudden.

728
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: But but but wow, it's gone. It's magic. Oh my goodness,

729
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: I oh wow.

730
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: Here we all are. We must be in the airplane

731
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: now pressurized with no sound.

732
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: Well not a.

733
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: Well done now now, now, mister Deeds, how many ferraris

00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: Huh?

736
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 4: It was corvettes and I gave them all to my

737
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 4: friends at the end of the movie.

738
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: You're the best, oh jeez. And then you go back

739

00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 6: work with them on a day to day hour league basis,

784
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 6: making sure that they understand what they're getting and how

785
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 6: they're getting in so that they can get out and

786
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 6: be functional and operational as soon as possible.

787
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: How does someone know to call you?

788
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 6: Because I'm Brian Kinge, they know to call me?

789
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: Anyways? John Story in the show.

790
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, So so, I mean we're pretty We're pretty

791
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 6: well known out there. We do a really good job

792
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 6: getting out in front of the customer doing real live demos,

793
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 6: hands on demos. We go to big conferences. We partner

794
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 6: up with people that are out there, so you know,

795
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 6: if we can't make it everywhere, at least somebody's out

796
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 6: there talking about us. And uh not for nothing. But

797
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 6: you know, we we've spent a We spend a lot

798
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 6: of time on the road each week getting in front

799
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 6: of customers and making sure they understand the complete solution

800
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 6: that we offer, which I mean I'd be willing to

801
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 6: debate and argue that we are the only ones, uh

802
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 6: in the US market, Uh maybe maybe the world that

803
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 6: have an end to end hardware and software solution to

804
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 6: do a lot of a lot of drone activities. At

805
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 6: least in public safety wise, we're able to really showcase

806
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 6: Scuidio from the time you turn on a computer to

807
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 6: the time you pull in somebody that did something bad.

808
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 6: We're able to use our technology to assist officers and

809
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 6: officer safety to the community on all sorts of levels.

810
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 6: To really drive home this technology as a resource that

811
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 6: the higher ups want to have in their ascy.

812
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 2: Now, would America be okay, with a low level drone

813
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: flying into New York and picking off a drug dealer

814
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: and then flying away.

815
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 6: The answer is right now, no, no.

816
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: Right, right?

817
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 2: And so sometimes America does that though, and has a

818
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 2: bad rap for it, where we fly into another country

819
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: with a low level draw or take out a low

820
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: level person of interest and with a drone.

821
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: Right, And there's a lot of that out there.

822
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 2: So you know, as the US, we find it like

823
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: we can go and do that, right, Well, we don't

824
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: do that here.

825
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: So do we have the means to stop that from Yeah?

826
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like let's say let's say you, let's say you

827
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: were the other guy on another team and you were

828
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 2: doing that here. Do we have the system in place

829
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: to stop these drones? Because like, have you seen Terminator ever?

830
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: Any of them? Yes, sir?

831
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: So I just want to make sure and I'm all

832
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: for what you guys do. I just want to bring

833
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: that other aspect out is you know, what are we

834
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 2: talking about here? Something that has no feelings? Yep, something

835
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: that just has a mission and if it's autonomous, it's

836
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: on it's on its course.

837
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: Right.

838
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: But you know we I mean, let's talk about President Obama.

839
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: He was very heavily. You know, drone happy. Okay, he

840
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 2: liked to use that a lot, and it's public record.

841
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: A lot of presidents seem to like the drones, but

842
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: we don't like the drones in our airspace.

843
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: How does that affect you, guys?

844
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 6: So I think I can talk to a couple of

845
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 6: different levels here and Josh, Mike, please been and help

846
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 6: where you can. So one of the things that we

847
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 6: do is when we go into an agency, we talk

848
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 6: to them about the community and how they're going to

849
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 6: accept how they may perceive the drones, because we are

850
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 6: not public safety wise, we are not enabling our drones

851
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 6: to interact physically at all with with agency with people

852
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 6: in the community. So we do we talk to the community,

853
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 6: say hey, let's be transparent. Let's tell them what the

854
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 6: drones are for. Let's tell them all the value the

855
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 6: drones give to the agency and the money they're gonna save.

856
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 6: You know, instead of buying a twenty four million dollar helicopter.

857
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 6: I'm not saying the aircraft isn't needed and are isn't important,

858
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 6: but there is a value in saying, hey, maybe we

859
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 6: don't need that six helicopter. Let's buy a bunch of

860
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 6: drones and we can monitor areas and we can do

861
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 6: things with those of value. Secondly, you know, the industry itself,

862
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 6: when you talk about the domestic you know, domestic United States,

863
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 6: the industry itself is very watchful of each other. We

864
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 6: are we are always commenting, we are always uh researching,

865
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 6: We're always talking with other people. Uh. And I don't

866
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 6: think the community would accept that. And I'm what I

867
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 6: and I know that the maybe there's people, you know,

868
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 6: if there's a doctor evil out there that's gonna do

869
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 6: right right, uh right, But the community, I'm telling you,

870
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 6: the community is very tight and they're going to raise

871
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 6: that flag immediately. Oh, I mean immediately. And I have

872
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 6: no proof of that other than what I see every

873
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 6: day on social media in between.

874
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 2: Uh it too, and you're living through it, so you're

875
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: kind of doing the job and it's not being you know, attacked. Now,

876
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 2: let me ask this question just now. You're in Florida.

877
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: Let's say I'm in Florida and I'm somewhere in the

878
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 2: Everglades and you're flying over me and I see this,

879
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I feel that it's a it's

880
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 2: a threat. Whatever's flying over us. You know, no one's coordinated.

881
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 2: I'm powers out are as anybody trying not to shoot

882
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: these out of the sky.

883
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: From that perspective, There's.

884
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,479
Speaker 6: Actually been a case that's gone all the way through

885
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 6: a gentleman in Florida hashtat Florida man has did take

886
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 6: down a drone, a sheriff's drone over his backyard. I

887
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 6: don't know the reasoning for flying the drone there, but unfortunately,

888
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 6: again education of drones and what they use for, and

889
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 6: the fact that they are just like any other aircraft

890
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 6: in that airspace. If you were to shoot something at it,

891
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 6: if FAA can come after you, and they have and

892
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 6: they they are not getting any easier on their punishments.

893
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 6: We're actually probably getting more stringent. So uh, it's it's

894
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 6: something that people need to uh and maybe on us,

895
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 6: you know, not saying skytio maybe his scudio maybe yeah,

896
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 6: or more education, more more willingness to show them. I

897
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 6: mean every a lot of agencies I work with, they

898
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 6: take these drones to what they call Chief's night out

899
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 6: where they have all their swap vehicles and they have

900
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 6: sniper rifles, and they have their boats, and they have

901
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 6: their cars, they have their canines. Now they have drones there,

902
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 6: and they have them there to show the public that

903
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 6: we use these and people come up to say, what are

904
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 6: you using those for? You watch in my backyard? Like no,

905
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 6: I mean, if you're not doing anything wrong, then you

906
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 6: you'll be fine. Now you have power companies that are

907
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 6: pushing hard to do beyond visual line of site. I

908
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 6: was just driving down the street to other day and

909
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 6: there's a power company, a very large power company headquarters

910
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 6: right down the street, and there's a drone going down

911
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 6: the power line doing power line inspections. Nobody in sight,

912
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 6: not a pilot in sight. Uh. And so it's it's evolving,

913
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 6: and I think the community is strong enough and educated

914
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 6: enough and willing to share that information with the public.

915
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a transitional there's gonna be

916
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 6: a transitional period and we're in I think we're probably

917
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 6: in it right now, but gonna it's gonna evolve over time,

918
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 6: and I think it's gonna be okay. I think it's important.

919
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 6: Uh here's I'm gonna get on my soapbox for a

920
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 6: second here. I think it's important that American manufacturing and

921
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 6: American jobs and American roes are the ones that are

922
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 6: flying over these communities. And I think that's important, and

923
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 6: I believe that it's the right thing to do. Create jobs,

924
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 6: create drones, and and we'll have it. We'll have a

925
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 6: nice little mixture going on.

926
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 2: I would agree with I would agree with that statement.

927
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 2: You know, if we can have it built in house,

928
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 2: you know, and you know, just hopefully have it that

929
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: streamlined process where it is all you know, the US

930
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 2: made and backed and you know used. I get that,

931
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: you know, and if I can go ahead, please yeah, Josh.

932
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 8: No, sorry, I was I was gonna say too, kind

933
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 8: of go off.

934
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 7: What Brian was saying was that if you look at

935
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 7: the history of aviation, right, if you look at their

936
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 7: early nineteen hundred's when the first man flight occurred, the

937
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 7: perception across just the US itself was that'll only be

938
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 7: used for male We'll never ride in those things, will

939
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 7: never use them.

940
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 8: They're dangerous, like we're not going to touch them.

941
00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 7: And I mean, look look on and ten years later, right,

942
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 7: and it's the primary mode of transportation.

943
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 8: Like I've been on four planes just in the last week,

944
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 8: and so yeah, it is.

945
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 7: And if you look at uas we're kind of in

946
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 7: that spot in our history timeline of like we're in

947
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 7: that stage is if people are they're freaked out, they're

948
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 7: scared of it.

949
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 8: They don't know what it is.

950
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 7: They think it's just a thing at the moment, and

951
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 7: it's going to be done in a few years and

952
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 7: the technology is going to go away, but it's definitely not.

953
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 7: I mean, if you look at the dull, dirty and

954
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 7: dangerous drones are becoming, they're going to be a household

955
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 7: item very soon because missions that are dull, missions that

956
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 7: are dirty and dangerous. We can now remove humans out

957
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 7: of that loop right right, and we can do it efficiently, safely.

958
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 7: So I think that we're just we're at we're starting

959
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 7: to go up our uphill battle that mand Aviation went

960
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 7: through over one hundred years ago, and I think in

961
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 7: one hundred years from now, no one's gonna be able

962
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 7: to imagine life without without a drone.

963
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: I really there was once time without a drone.

964
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 8: Really exactly was.

965
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: That right around the time they made the wheel.

966
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 4: Exactly just like the coming on the tail end of that,

967
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 4: And maybe wrap back around your initial question, like Joshu,

968
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 4: one hundred percent, we're at an inflection point.

969
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love what Skydio is doing.

970
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 4: Because a lot of the key reasons that we've enabled

971
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 4: the capabilities that these drones have is to keep that

972
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 4: human operator out of harm's way or potentially keep them

973
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 4: from going into a risky situation that they don't necessarily

974
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 4: have to, but get similar, if not better results than

975
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 4: if we had set that person. So to wrap back

976
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 4: around to your question about kinetics and you know, using

977
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 4: drones to take out that drug dealer around the corner

978
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 4: or abroad, right, and you brought up autonomy, I think

979
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 4: a very important thing to understand and like be mindful

980
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 4: of our leadership, whether it's skidial leadership or our governmental, federal,

981
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 4: DoD presidential leadership, all the way down. Everybody is on

982
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 4: board with always having a man in the loop. IFO

983
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 4: we're making a hard decision concerning someone on the ground

984
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 4: with a drunk SCUIDEO, we do not weaponize our products.

985
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 4: Our autonomy is used for compelling use cases, to keep

986
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 4: people out of harms bay and to provide like Great

987
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 4: Brian brought up to three D scans right, like that

988
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 4: rain that fell into that building, Well, now they have

989
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 4: to figure out how to get the crane off the

990
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 4: building without causing more damage or hurting anybody, but they

991
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 4: can't well that well, now they can that three D scan,

992
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 4: they have a digital twin to centimeter level accuracy to

993
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: look at and like go through with the contractual engineers

994
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 4: that are going to be looking at all, like okay,

995
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 4: how do we take the crane and effectively remove it

996
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 4: without causing any more damage or hurting anyone. And we

997
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 4: provide those things. But in our federal which is what

998
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 4: I do. I support federal globally using our products. Even

999
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 4: in Ukraine. Our drones keep people out of harm's ways

1000
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 4: so that they can make hard decisions.

1001
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: You know.

1002
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: And I was going to bring up some Ukraine, you know,

1003
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 2: because there is a man that I interviewed. He was

1004
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 2: doing press for Esquire magazine over there, and he was

1005
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 2: in the trenches with like a twenty year old and

1006
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 2: he's like, how did you learn all of these maneuvers

1007
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: that you're doing, bro?

1008
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: And he's like, I just it just came to me.

1009
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 2: And he's like, no, there's something about this guy, the

1010
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 2: way he hold his gun, the way that he was

1011
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 2: doing this mission.

1012
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: The fifty year old was like, let's go this way.

1013
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 2: The fifty year old Ukrainian was like old Russian taught Ukrainian.

1014
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: The twenty year old is like, just sit still for

1015
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 2: a second, hold on and watch, and he sent a

1016
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 2: drone up and they went and did whatever they had

1017
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 2: to do. And he's like, you know, so he's merging

1018
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: that you're not in your head.

1019
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: Josh. You're like, yeah, rad, this is what's up. You know.

1020
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 2: The old grunt was just like, let's just charge the trenches.

1021
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: And the young dudes like just sit still for a second,

1022
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,959
Speaker 2: hits his big gulp and just starts flying it. Dude, Okay,

1023
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: and that guy lives another day, the old dude. So

1024
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 2: you know, there is a young man's game involved, right,

1025
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 2: But not to say that someone in their fifties sixty

1026
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 2: year old couldn't bring that skill set as well.

1027
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing. It's amazing. You know.

1028
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 2: I do talk to so many people, you know, mister Deeds,

1029
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: that have been in all these different conflicts, and they

1030
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 2: talk about these drones and talking to you guys directly

1031
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: is just kind of a cool thing for me.

1032
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to keep it real, I tell you what.

1033
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 2: Because there's air drops, right, there's guys on top of

1034
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 2: mountains and that get it, Like they have heavy duty

1035
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 2: drones that can take their stuff right up to them,

1036
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 2: working on ski lifts all that kind of stuff. So

1037
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: there is a very cool need for these types of things.

1038
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's and it's interesting because that's kind of

1039
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 7: where Scudio started, right Scutio, uh, when they started back

1040
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 7: in twenty fourteen, was was made for action sports recording

1041
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 7: like snowboarding and mountain biking.

1042
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 8: And and look.

1043
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,919
Speaker 7: Ten years later and we're completely entrenched with with these

1044
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 7: three verticals, you know, the fens and sleds. So yeah,

1045
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 7: it's crazy how much can change.

1046
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, boarding, Yeah, snowboarding, Okay, that's me.

1047
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 8: Yeah. Maybe if you like parkour you could use it

1048
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 8: for park ord.

1049
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 2: I guess snowboards are right there, bro, Yeah, I'm in

1050
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: Joe really oh really right there, I'm getting bad.

1051
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 3: You got a spot on your couch. Sounds going to

1052
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 3: be falling right here? All right here, let's do it.

1053
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: Utah, we write it brighton, Brighton love brighton.

1054
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 2: Yes, come ride with me, you and and and give

1055
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 2: me one of those drones that can like I can

1056
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 2: like a button on me and it follows me.

1057
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: We can do that.

1058
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, man, I love the snowboard.

1059
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:11,959
Speaker 1: Holy cow.

1060
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what and that's what the company started on.

1061
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 7: I don't know if Adam or CEO ever had the

1062
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 7: ever had the thought that in ten years where it

1063
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 7: would be right and you just now look at us

1064
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 7: and we're just we're global, right, which is awesome.

1065
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 2: A good job, Adam, Good job, Adam. Yeah, rock and

1066
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 2: roll right there, bro Yeah, okay. Well, And the cool

1067
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 2: thing about snowboarding and extreme sports and getting outside yourself

1068
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 2: is it's great for veterans. I like to say thrills

1069
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 2: before pills here at soft Rep, you know, we like

1070

00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 2: you know, go get your colonoscope, go get your I

1072
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 2: envision tested, and go make.

1073
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: Sure that your blood levels are cool. Don't be scared

1074
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: of that.

1075
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 2: And you know, get outside and go, like, you know,

00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 2: I'm fortunate enough to live at right outside of like

1079
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: everybody's bucket list of ski resorts, and I get to

1080
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 2: ride them like seventy to eighty times a year in

1081
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 2: a season, So I know that I'm blessed. But I

1082
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 2: tell you, every time I'm on that ski lift and

1083
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 2: I see sparkles of snow in my eyes as I'm

1084
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 2: going up. I'm like, I'm free. I'm not like ninety

1085
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 2: nine problems and snowboarding ate one of them. Okay, but

1086
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 2: thanks Adam at skidio for being about adventure sports and
