He goes on to share:\nhis journey from helicopter pilot to building one of the most ambitious aerial data networks in the world, \nthe regulatory evolution of drones in Canadian airspace, \nhow LayerDrone standardizes imagery from thousands of pilots, and \nwhy spatial AI, world models, and next-gen robotics companies are hungry for ultra-high-resolution, frequently updated aerial data.\nDiscussed\nHow to go from flying helicopters to co-founding a drone training company that certified 10,000+ pilots\nThe founding vision behind LayerDrone as an open-source, crypto-economic protocol for standardized drone imagery\nWhy Spexi spun out LayerDrone and their role as the founding core contributor\nHow the network balances pilot agency with safety requirements and regulatory compliance\nThe relationship between Spexi (demand) and LayerDrone (supply)\nTimecodes\n\nHosted by Bryce Bladon | Edited by AJ Fillari | Sponsored by Spexi.com & LayerDrone.org","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yObPLmrJmSHAC2QJy1QXNq9_9BXFoMkZPA7mO_HapKE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYThj/MGQ4ZGU1NDgwZWJm/Y2YyZTllNmNiNjli/NjdkYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
