After 12 years of working as a GIS specialist / Consultant, I quit and I am ready to move on.
Looking back at the last 12 years if I could go back in time and give myself some advice I would tell myself these 8 things.
- Boring Work won’t necessarily lead to interesting work
- Getting good at something typical leads to doing more of that thing
- Have more empathy for the professionals that you work with
- Think more about where you are trying to go
- Network
- Find a mentor
- Sometimes it's just not a good fit
- You don’t get to decide what is broken
Things I need help with
- Share the podcast with a friend, a community anyone that you think might find it interesting or helpful
- I am looking for projects based on or around OpenStreetMap - this is part of a promotional campaign that I am doing together with OpenCage - More information here

This is a story about a hobby project called Scribble Maps that grew into business… but it's also a story about the opportunities and challenges of creating geospatial tools for non-geospatial professionals.

WhiteBox Contains over 500 geospatial analysis tools. Many of these tools have novel functionality that you won’t find in other software and it's FREE to use! But is it possible to monetize an open-source geospatial project? and if so how would you do this?
This episode is a follow-on from last week's episode so consider listening to that first. Last week's episode was a technical overview of what WhiteBox Tools is, this week's episode is about turning WhiteBox Tools into a business to ensure that the project is sustainable.
