GIS Chat Podcast
Podcast Host Jazzmen J. Wilson interviews GIS (Geographic Information Systems) professionals who work in utility, conservation, mining, cartography, programming, design, project management, film, and so much more!
GIS is a system that creates, manages, analyzes and maps all types of data. GIS is used broadly across many types of fields as noted above and has an impact on our daily lives.
Jazzmen started conducting personal interviews with people within the GIS community to discover what they do in their roles. She decided that it would be great to share with others who are interested in gaining knowledge about GIS or those who are already in the world of GIS to learn different point of views on how others apply this application in their careers.
This GIS Chat platform gives a chance to learn insight from the professionals who apply GIS in their careers but also a personal look on who these people are as individuals by keeping the conversation informal, informative, and honest.

Michael Ivison
*Sorry for my audio in this episode. However, Michael sounds great, and you will be able to pick up what we are putting down
(Recorded May 4th, 2024) Michael Ivison is joining us from Japan. He is a jack of all trades, but he mainly works freelance, and content creates GIS tutorials on his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@MikeIvisonGIS .
In this episode we talk about how freelance work in Japan has been both a blessing and a curse, the identity crisis within the GIS community, how AI may not be as great as we think, and how important mental health is to Michael. Oh, he also hiked Mount Fuji. Give this episode a listen.
