-: My name is Jesse Glasgow and I'm a geographer
and the name of my company is Team Spatial.
It's a small technology start-up
that I started a couple of years ago
and we help
other companies
use geography to improve the way they do business
and so, we have a few different lines of business.
One is we
help with planning,
and so,
If someone wants to build a new energy infrastructure,
we help them figure out the best place to put that
so that it minimizes impact to people and the environment.
So that's one line of business.
Another line of business we have is technology consulting.
We basically implement software,
geographic information systems at various companies
to help them make their business more efficient,
and finally, we are developing an app
to help with some of those processes.
Yeah, we did a project in
Manitoba, Canada
near Winnipeg.
That's up above Minnesota,
and
the scope of the project was to get
hydroelectric power that's produced in Canada
into Minnesota where they have a demand for clean energy.
And so,
we worked on a project,
I'm tryna remember how many miles,
they work in kilometers up there.
Worked on a project that was probably 130 miles
and so we,
over a course of a couple of years, helped them
involve that course and found a place to put that.
So that would minimize impacts.
It's a small business that I run and so,
as such, I'm involved in a lot of different aspects of it
from project management
to working with clients,
developing
new projects
and even involved in some of the technical components,
working with our technical staff.
Also, in addition to working our projects,
I manage the
accounting for the company
and all of the aspects of managing the small business.
So, it's really a diverse set of tasks
I do on a day-to-day basis
and usually no two days are the same.
