Last June, SXSW announced they would no longer allow military and defense companies as sponsors. This sparked strong reactions from Austin's defense tech community, with one of those reactions leading to the creation of Austin4America. I'm joined by Luke Fischer, one of the summit's creators, to discuss why this matters and how it fits into Austin's broader innovation story. Episode HighlightsSXSW's Military Sponsor Ban and Austin's ResponseModern Defense Tech Beyond WeaponsSkyFi: Building an Earth Intelligence PlatformWhy Austin Leads Defense InnovationAustin4America: From X/Twitter to RealityInnovation & Defense Tech AgendaConvergence of Veterans, Health, and National SecurityWhat's Next Austin? “A gravitation of some of the best companies in the world coming to Austin, where we see across all the industries, bio, defense, healthcare, manufacturing.”Austin4AmericaLuke Fischer: X/Twitter, LinkedIn, SkyFi -------------------Austin Next Links: Website, X/Twitter, YouTube, LinkedInEcosystem Metacognition Substack

Luke Fischer is the Co-Founder & CEO of SkyFi, a company that we'll describe in a few ways in this episode, but boils down to an Earth Observation marketplace.

We are back talking about Earth observation. Specifically about how to make accessing and using EO data user-friendly. Our guest this week is Luke Fischer, co-founder & CEO of Sky-Fi, an Austin-based startup that is essentially an EO market place and app store. Luke tells us all about SkyFi and his view on the state of EO in general. Enjoy!

Luke Fischer, CEO and Co-Founder of SkyFi, is changing the way we understand our world by opening our eyes wider to it.  Luke grew up flying helicopters for the Army and has used his experience working in VC and at tech titans like Uber to harness the power of satellite imagery and make it easier for the world to access.  The SkyFi Team is helping uncover issues that are not obvious.  For example, in the middle of Chile lies several tons of fashion clothing that was discarded- These kinds of global issues are usually unknown to most of us, because we are not able to easily see what's going on.  Luke strongly believes that if we can continue to “Eas-ify” satellite imagery, this will enable folks on a mission to execute and do something about the greatest obstacles our world faces.  This is not an easy process as satellite imagery has been historically bureaucratic and optimized for government agencies, but SkyFi is on a mission to make this consumer friendly (fast, easy and economical).  Luke uses lessons learned from his time in Army Special Operations to guide his Leadership style and way he grows a business.  A 70% solution is better than a perfect plan and iterating on failure is key to success.  He also shares that his time at Uber taught him to take your time finding the right folks and even if you don't bring them onto the Team, treat everyone like a customer.  In the military we are used to accepting great personal risk- Up to death, but when we transition to the private sector many Warriors can be stunted by the financial risk needed to grow and create value in business.  Luke shares that once we can acknowledge that we all have innate value and that even if things were to go to ZERO, we can find a way to get back on our feet and provide for our families, then we build the confidence to explore the unknown and truly create something great.

Synmax is the second geospatial company from legendary energy trader Bill Perkins that I have profiled (the first was app.skyfi.com). Finally I can say we have gotten into spatial finance. Eric Anderson CFA, their CTO, was a very stimulating guest. I especially appreciated his willingness to cover the philosophical side of the AI question towards the end. Eric also had fantastic advice for an apprentice for the final question. Overall I feel incredibly proud to have gotten to this point with the podcast. I have had a very strong interest in spatial finance since the field emerged a couple of years ago, but always felt the academic version of it was deficient. Yes, environmental implications of finance are important, but I don't see a reason not to simply call this Environmental Finance. So, Synmax is real spatial finance - using remote sensing and spatial analysis to gain a trading edge. What made it all the more meaningful to me was to have this interview with a chartered financial analyst. This is someone who has survived an exam with a 30% pass rate. More about Bill Perkins: https://spearswms.com/wealth/natural-gas-trader-bill-perkins/. He runs Skylar Capital: https://skylarcapitalmanagement.com/. Eric mentioned Synmax is in the process of acquiring Gas Vista: https://gasvista.com/. They have a nice map animation of ships they track: https://leviaton.com/login/?next=/, a function Eric said Synmax will integrate into their offering. Where to next? Well, Gabe gave me a SAR image of London in the last episode. Unfortunately it wasn't autographed by Joe Morrison, maybe Luke Fischer didn't ask for one on my behalf after all (check the Skyfi interview for the reference!) But I feel something is building here if I do my homework. THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why?

I recommend checking out their app, which looks pretty cool.In this episode, we talk about the founding story of SkyFi and their vision, the importance of making satellite imagery accessible to 'the hive mind', differences in how the B2C and the B2B segments will use Earth observation, the verticals SkyFi is targeting, the state of EO and more.Check out the SkyFi app: https://bit.ly/TWSxSkyFiBill Perkins: https://twitter.com/bp22Luke Fischer: https://twitter.com/FischerLukeM---01:01: Intros03:02: SkyFi overview 05:09: Founding story and why it took a hedge fund trader to create it14:21: Why a mobile app to access satellite imagery?17:46: Thoughts on targeting both the B2C and B2B segments22:42: Types of satellite data on the platform29:34: Convincing the satellite data providers33:15: The future of distribution of EO data and analytics 38:08: Educating the masses about EO40:46: Thoughts on competition44:34: Outlook for SkyFi49:14: State of EO and how it influences SkyFi54:56: Worries about the state of the industry57:04: Wrap-up---

Doug Fitzgerald fills in for CDR, and welcomes Zach Harsin and Luke Fischer of Acton Academy, along with a couple of Acton's learners: Dharma and Kingston, with their parents, talking about their alternative learning/education experience through Acton.

Today's guest is Bill Perkins, a hedge fund manager, film producer, high-stakes poker player, and author of Die with Zero. If he wasn't in those lines of work, Bill tells Ryan he'd be a farmer. More importantly for our purposes, Bill is the founder of SkyFi. The startup doesn't fly its own satellites, and is instead tackling what it sees as a software problem. SkyFi is developing a clean, consumerized experience for buying satellite imagery through a web browser or smartphone app. Behind the scenes, SkyFi's platform pulls from 70+ satellites and leverages partnerships with more than a dozen EO partners. The app is in beta, with a global launch slated for next year. The marketplace supports (or will support) high-res satellite imagery, night, hyperspectral, satellite video, SAR, and stereo. Prices start at $20 for an existing image and $175 for a new one. This convo was a fun one that you won't want to miss. Just don't listen to this episode at 2X speed. *CHAPTERS* (02:39) Bill voted early (05:17) Die with Zero (08:12) Life as an energy trader, what types of data funds are buying to gain an investing edge, and how it all ties into the origin story of SkyFi (15:02) Bill's frustrations buying millions in satellite imagery—and the industry status quo in sales cycles, target customers, and user experience (30:36) Is SkyFi a consumer-focused venture? Who will use the product? Why would anyone use it? (33:20) Bringing on Luke Fischer and handing him the reins as CEO, raising venture money, and recruiting from non-traditional space backgrounds (45:30) The pitch to partners and how SkyFi signs on satellite operators (36:25) Putting satellite imagery, data, and analytics into the hands of the geniuses of the world will help us solve “intractable problems,” like pollution, deforestation, and illegal fishing (50:04) Sci-fi, wakeboarding, aliens, and the answer to: “Why are you building an Android app?” (Editor's note/trigger warning: Both Bill and Ryan use Androids.) *LINKS* SkyFi website: https://www.skyfi.com/ Bill's Twitter: https://twitter.com/bp22 SkyFi's socials: https://twitter.com/SkyfiApp | https://www.linkedin.com/company/skyfi-imaging/ | https://www.instagram.com/skyfi.app/ Die With Zero: https://www.diewithzerobook.com/welcome Ryan's Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryandoofy Payload SkyFi coverage: https://payloadspace.com/exclusive-skyfi-raises-7-15m/ | https://payloadspace.com/skyfi-beta-app/ Apply to be a SkyFi beta tester: https://r66ka677lo0.typeform.com/to/n1mWYCjZ *ABOUT PATHFINDER* Pathfinder is powered Payload, a modern space media brand.

Katin Reinhardt led seven players in double figures with 21 points as Marquette held on for a 102-94 win at No. 7 Creighton. Luke Fischer and JaJuan Johnson both added 18 points.

Luke Fischer scored 12 points, including the go-ahead basket with 27 seconds left in a 57-55 win at Wisconsin.

TBT officially starts tomorrow and a total of 11 former players from the new Big East will be participating, including four who will be suiting up for Marquette's alumni team, Golden Eagles, who was last year's TBT runner-up. Joining me from Columbus to talk about his Marquette career and playing for Golden Eagles for the first time ever is Luke Fischer, who was Marquette's starting center during the first three years of the Wojo era. Also, I've got my tournament preview with a focus on Golden Eagles' possible road to redemption from last year's title game loss to Carmen's Crew.

Straight Outta Würzburg – Der Basketball-Podcast von Radio Gong und s.Oliver Würzburg LIVE aus dem Kullman's Grill & Diner am 22.10.2019!

Rock musician and professor Florence Dore attunes to static in her research on "resonant silences" surrounding censorship and race in modernist literature of the early 20th century and its recapitulation of institutional norms in her new book, Novel Sounds; Australian poet and philosopher Luke Fischer joins us just in time for Poetry Month to read and discuss A Personal History of Vision; and Co-op staff Mark Loeffler and Alena Jones help us see through the haze of jacket copy, otherwise known as "blurbs." 

It is the home stretch for the BIG EAST tournament seeding, Villanova has a chance to clinch at least a share of their fourth-straight title this weekend. This week’s show features a spotlight on Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard, the reigning BIG EAST tournament champion coach. The BIG EAST focus is on Marquette center Luke Fischer, a transfer from Indiana who averages 12.0 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. The national perspective comes from FOX Sports’ bracketology expert Stewart Mandel. With three weeks remaining until selection Sunday, how many BIG EAST teams are in contention for the Big Dance.

Thanks to a prolific offensive performance, Marquette traveled to hostile Omaha and came up with it's most impressive win of the season. The fellas rave about Luke Fischer, the offense, and discuss just how much the defense will continue to hold Marquette back.

Jack Goods and Dan Reiner return to discuss the upcoming Marquette-Wisconsin game with Nick Brazzoni, the sports content editor of the Badger Herald. They discuss the difficulties in replacing Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker, how Nigel Hayes has started the season as well as the most important Marquette player besides Luke Fischer and Henry Ellenson. Fair warning: The podcast was recoreded before Wisconsin’s loss to UW-Milwaukee Wednesday night.
