    this talk's got me wondering what other tech we're afraid of now that might end up being super useful in the future!

    this drone talk was way more interesting than i thought it'd be. he's got me thinking about all the cool stuff we could do with flying robots.

      I was going to make my talk about everything in the industry but focused on what we've been creating. It really is mind blowing what's happening in the industry globally!

    Applause!! It's a rare person that sees a need and does something about it instead of waiting for others.

    Pretty impessed by the ingenuity of this guy! Especially his approach to problem-solving. It's a reminder that innovation often starts with a simple "yes"

      Thank you :) start with "yes" and if you believe it's going to have a positive impact then figure it out as you go.

    I get that this is a really cool and innovative way of using drones but I can't help but wonder about the environmental impact, especially on delicate ecosystems

    always thought drones were just for military stuff and annoying people at the beach lol this talk opened my eyes... maybe I shouldn't be so quick to hate on new tech

  • @michealdrozd

    As cool as this is, I'm concerned about job displacement. I feel like every time a task becomes automated it just takes opportunities away from someone who was doing it manually

    • @OfficialAndrewDavies
      @OfficialAndrewDavies 6 дней назад

      Everyone still has their job in all the spaces we're operating in. We're generally a complimentary service that just takes the professionals out of harms way and frees them up to do what they're best at!! It's normally a matter of resource re-allocation not delete one and replace it with another.

    kinda wild how a random meeting on a yacht started all this. talk about lucky breaks!

    • @OfficialAndrewDavies
      @OfficialAndrewDavies 6 дней назад

      haha lucky with 4 years of grinding out 12-14 hour days to make the dream a reality. I'm still doing a lot now 8 years later! But I was very lucky to find someone that inspired me to make a change in my life :)

  • @luisasanchez5532

    I can't believe his "yes first, figure it out later" attitude lol that kind of thinking legit gives me anxiety

    • @OfficialAndrewDavies
      @OfficialAndrewDavies 6 дней назад

      Haha yeah it's stressful!! I choose to believe in a good outcome and weigh up the consequences and most of the time it all works out okay :)

    How was he able to give so much time to this? Was he working a job at the same time? Or just living off money saved from the mines?
