Traditional Q and A to round out the week, perhaps slightly heavier or darker topics than normal, but that is how the cookie crumbled this time. Unseen brain trauma and a fathers mission to prevent Veteran suicide , Signal App Whoopsies by Government employees, and whether or not someone can actually be a good person and an evil person at the same time.

What are the key themes of today's episode?
Good morning and welcome back. Straight to normal Friday programming for today. Three different questions. Maybe a little bit of a heavier episode, I suppose, given the subject matter of the questions for today, but we'll get through it. Maybe the questions that are more challenging to answer that make you think deeper are better questions anyway.
So before we dive in, let's pay the bills real fast. Then let's get in the show. Today's episode is brought to you by Spartan Forge. I highly recommend you go back and listen to the episode I did with their founder, Bill Thompson. It irritates me how intelligent that he is. There are people that can create things and then there are people like me who are barely capable of breaking them.
But that is the category that I fall into. I would have never had even the idea. to create a project or a product like this. Spartan Forge is legit. And what I'm gonna say is one of the coolest things before I talk about it is that it keeps evolving. I'm on their mailing list and I just got an email. Now they have burn coverage maps.
They've had maps that show the difference in North Carolina, pre and post that horrific storm and flood that they had there. They've added the ability to look and see lighting throughout the course of the day. And not just the day that you're in, you can forecast way out into the future And all of these things are amazing planning tools.
Now, the Spartan Forge app itself, I'm going to put it into the hunting genre. It's similar to other apps that are out there, but it has so much more. It is so cool in this modern era to be able to hold onto your device and look at somewhere you want to go hunt, And you can research terrain, topography.
One of the things I've talked about often, especially when it comes to flying helicopters, because I use two apps. I use an app called ForeFlight, which is very particular for flying. And then immediately I switch over and I come on to Spartan Forge and I'm looking at their LIDAR because it gives me an idea of the terrain underneath the foliage, which is just something you can't do...
With any other software that I'm aware of, I can look at UAV imagery, I could look at satellite imagery, but I don't know what's underneath that. I don't know the slope of the ground. And that stuff is all very important for rotary wing. So I'm using this tool in a completely different space. I've had engineers reach out to me and say that they're using LIDAR and the mapping features.
It's unbelievable. It's got, if you go to the spartanforge.ai on the website, I mean, it has everything from an AI tool that you can actually talk to. Talk to me about calibers for this type of animal. What would you recommend for a rifle build? And this thing is spitting out information if you don't have a mentor that you have access to.
This tool is ridiculous and it pisses me off that Bill was able to create it because I want to be smart like Bill and I can't be smart like Bill. So if you're ready to up your game, hunting-wise or even just, I'm going to say situational awareness-wise, head over to SpartanForge.ai. It is worth every penny of the monthly subscription.
