A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

📩 Get every update from my newsletter ➡️ https://forrest.nyc ⬅️ 💨 Sign up for the Modern GIS Accelerator ➡️ https://forrest.nyc/accelerator ⬅️ In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest challenges holding back GIS professionals today: the technician trap . Sparked by a real-world job posting from one of the world’s richest tech companies—offering just $20–$22 an hour for a GIS contract role—we explore what this means for the broader industry. Why are highly skilled spatial professionals being underpaid, and what separates a $45K contractor from a $300K geospatial data engineer? The answer lies in how you position yourself—and whether your work is seen as project-based execution or strategic value creation. We’ll unpack: The pay disparity across GIS roles and what it reveals How entry-level positions can set the wrong trajectory Why spatial skills alone aren’t enough without systems thinking The mindset shift needed to break free from being "just a mapmaker" How to move from being a button-pusher to a strategic stakeholder Whether you're just entering the GIS field or feeling stuck in your current role, this episode offers a candid look at how to grow your career by aligning technical skills with business impact—and why it's time to expect more from GIS roles. 🎧 Plus: Learn about the Modern GIS Accelerator , a program designed to help you scale your skills and reframe your career path.…
