In the evolving digital landscape of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, reality capture technology is making waves. The promises it offers are tremendous – from enhanced efficiency and collaboration to a new dimension of project planning. Yet, with advancements come challenges, especially in terms of acceptance and understanding. In this episode, Marco Herbst from Evercam, a pioneer in the reality capture domain, and seasoned land surveyor Matthew Byrd shed light on how this technology is revolutionizing the AEC industry and the steps needed to fully embrace its potential. In our conversation, we delve into: 1. The Transformation with Reality Capture: Understanding how reality capture is not just a fad but a paradigm shift in the industry, making tools more affordable, user-friendly, and equipped with real-time data capabilities. 2. Data Utilization Over Acquisition: The historical significance of data acquisition in the AEC sector and how companies like Evercam are ensuring that this enormous amount of data is not just acquired but effectively utilized. 3. Knowledge Sharing as Empowerment: Addressing the skilled labor shortage in the industry and the commendable efforts by companies to democratize the understanding of reality capture, enhancing productivity and innovation. 4. Weathering the Storm with Real-time Decision Making: A look at how reality capture is mitigating long-standing challenges like weather-related disruptions, enhancing planning software, and ensuring reliable project execution. 5. The ROI of Reality Capture: As firms grapple with understanding the tangible returns on reality capture, we discuss the undeniable benefits in averting design issues and cost overruns. 6. Methods Redefining AEC Practices:     - Construction Cameras: Moving beyond mere recording to project oversight.     - Laser Scanning: Its indispensable role in reality capture.     - Drones: Offering unique data collection capabilities that traditional methods can't match.     - Lidar's Role: Beyond topographic surveys to an expansive AEC application.    - 360-degree Photography and AI: How combining these is revolutionizing visual data analysis.     - Enhanced Surveying with Total Stations: The perfect blend of traditional techniques and modern tech.    - Diving Deep with Side Scan Sonar: Illuminating the underwater world in ways previously unimaginable. 7. The Catalyst - Reality Capture Network (RCN): How platforms like RCN are accelerating education, collaboration, and community-building in the realm of reality capture, with a special spotlight on Matt Bird's contributions. 8. The Road Ahead for AEC: As reality capture becomes an integral part of AEC, what does the future hold?

This is the unwelcome storyteller, trying to convince a reluctant audience to care about his story.We all hate that guy, right? But when you tell a story (any kind of story: a novel, a memoir, a screenplay, a stage play, a comic, or even a cover letter), you become the unwelcome storyteller.So how can you write a story that audiences will embrace?The answer is simple: Remember what it feels like to be that jaded audience. Tell the story that would win you over, even if you didn't want to hear it.Today's guest Matt Bird can help you.

Originally posted on March 21, 2021, this interview is also a time capsule view of how someone on the other side of the planet experienced "the former guy" as US president. Before the featured interview rewind, Robin Renée and Wendy Sheridan head to The Blanket Fort to talk about how they continue to care for themselves and others around them as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to enter an endemic phase.

Welcome back to this mini series on imperfect sustainability!! My aim for this series is to inspire you to view sustainability in a more positive light and to help you to genuinely make a difference in your own life. Let's tackle this with a non-judgemental, solutions-driven attitude and lift each other up rather than tearing each other down. Episode 4: climate change journalism with Matthew Bird "Too often climate coverage leads with data and ends with despair." In this episode Lucy chats to Matt Bird about his role as Science Editor of Impact Magazine, the best ways to write about climate change to engage the reader and the growing challenges surrounding disinformation in the media. Creating engaging content about sustainability with a solutions-driven focus is in our opinions, far better than the pessimistic, depressing stories we're so accustomed to hearing about that just turn people away from the issue. Matt also shares some insights into his PhD and offers advice for anyone wanting to start writing! Huge thanks to Matt for coming on the podcast. --- Things mentioned in this episode: Matt's Article on Covering Climate Now (here) Covering Climate Now (website) Climate Beat newsletter (here) --- Space to Learn on Apple Podcasts - leave a rating and a review here!!

How to Build a Subscription-Based Fashion Business from Scratch We don't want to brag, but this is one of our best episodes yet on The Ecom Show! This week our new friend Matt Bird from the UK dishes out some helpful secrets while telling us his story and how it helped him develop his formula for success in the fashion industry!From moderately successful ecommerce menswear brand to a massively successful subscription-based fashion company, you can listen in and learn about Matt Bird and the success of his company The Shirt Society while he sits down with Budai media founder Daniel to discuss: ✔️ Building a fashion brand from scratch ✔️ The beauty of subscription-based businesses ✔️ Learning from your customers ✔️ Finding loyal customers for life ✔️ When to look for outside investors What it Takes to Make it in Fashion Although Matt has seven years of experience in the men's fashion space, he says anyone can develop an idea and run with it. Sure it helps to have the experience, but in the world of ecommerce, anything is possible. Matt never had aspirations to own a physical retail shop for men's clothing. Ecommerce and online shopping have enabled him to become a business owner with almost nothing to start with (aside from an idea, a basic Shopify store, a logo, and a well-written organic post on Linkedin). Subscription Models are the Future Daniel and Matt both agree that subscriptions give you the peace of mind and stability you won't find with regular ecommerce shops. Matt first dreamed up The Shirt Society when he realized that people were only buying shirts one or two times a year, so sales were not consistent enough. He thinks it's better to have 3000 customers paying 20 pounds a month for a new shirt than having 10,000 customers purchasing a shirt one time and never returning. It helps to plan for the future and scale up accordingly. Customers are the Key It might come as a surprise that The Shirt Society was the brainchild of Matt and his first businesses' customers. After reaching out to people who purchased shirts from him, he realized people's pain points in the industry. Men don't want to shop for shirts, they don't like figuring out where to shop, and they were the ones to suggest a subscription model!If Matt hadn't listened to his customers, he would have never known how to improve his services and retain his customers longer! You should never be too stubborn to listen to the people supporting your business because you would have nothing without them. Customer Lifetime Value vs. Revenue Everyone has their favorite metrics to serve as a barometer for their business, but Matt is a keen advocate for Customer Lifetime Value. You can have months with big revenue, but the next month you might disappear. Some brands look tremendous and fall apart in the blink of an eye because they aren't inconsistent.Matt's business isn't just about selling shirts. They seek to make their customer experience better, listen to what they have to say, and keep them engaged, so they stick around. That's the real product! Finding Investors that are a Good Fit Once you have proof of concept and you organically grow your business, you might attract investors. Matt says that after a twenty-minute meeting, he secured an agreement to inject capital into his business and help with connections and expertise. Having passion, enthusiasm, and a multi-year vision for where you want to go is essential if you dream of bringing in investors.It is also important to note that you shouldn't do this lightly and sell too much equity right off the bat to raise funds. You are better growing slowly and taking your time! Follow Daniel Budai: Daniel's LinkedIn Daniel's Facebook Follow Matt: Matt's LinkedIn
