   Is AI Ruining the Job Market? | Jessica Cafferty

   Is AI making it harder to get hired? As artificial intelligence transforms the job market, resumes are becoming harder to distinguish, automated applications are flooding employers, and qualified candidates are struggling to stand out. In this episode of the Matthew Byrd Podcast, Matthew sits down with Jessica Cafferty, founder and president of RNG Group, to explore what's really happening behind the scenes in recruiting, hiring, and entrepreneurship. With more than a decade of experience connecting companies with top talent, Jessica shares her perspective on the rise of what she calls "AI slop," why traditional hiring processes are struggling, and what candidates can do to get noticed. But this conversation goes far beyond resumes and recruiting. Jessica also shares her journey of building a business from scratch, the realities of entrepreneurship, and why listening, adaptability, and genuine human relationships remain essential to success.

   AI Won’t Replace Surveyors… But This Might | Rami Tamimi

   What happens when surveying, reality capture, and AI collide? On this episode of the Matthew Byrd Podcast, Matthew sits down with professional surveyor, educator, YouTube creator, and geospatial technologist Rami Tamimi to talk about where the surveying industry is headed—and why simply owning the latest technology isn’t enough. Rami breaks down the growing disconnect between survey knowledge and rapidly advancing tools like drones, laser scanners, mobile mapping, and AI. They dig into why understanding accuracy and fundamentals still matters, how Rami is already using AI in real-world surveying workflows, and why professionals who refuse to adapt could eventually find themselves left behind. They also get into Rami’s journey into surveying, building his YouTube channel and The Survey School, the importance of sharing knowledge, educating the next generation, and what separates someone who simply uses the technology from someone who truly understands it. Because as Rami puts it: “If you do ordinary things, you will have ordinary results.” Rami Tamimi joins Matthew Byrd for a conversation about surveying, technology, AI, education, and what it will take to succeed in the next generation of the geospatial industry.

   Digital Twins Are More Than 3D | Kelly Watt on Reality Capture, AI and What Comes Next

   What actually makes something a digital twin and when is it just a 3D model with a better name? Kelly Watt joins Matthew Byrd in the Reality Capture Network studio for a deep conversation about the evolution of reality capture, digital twins, LiDAR, AI and the technology changing how we understand and manage the physical world. Kelly traces an unconventional career that took him from telecommunications across Asia to early forensic laser scanning, FARO, large-scale reality capture projects and eventually complex digital twin initiatives at DFW Airport. Along the way, Kelly and Matt unpack what years of testing emerging technology taught him about being an early adopter, why impressive-looking data still needs validation, and why organizations need to start with the business problem instead of the latest piece of technology. They also tackle one of the industry's most misunderstood terms: DIGITAL TWIN. Kelly breaks down why a digital twin is more than a static 3D representation, why the data and relationships behind the visualization matter, how information silos can be connected, and how AI could dramatically accelerate the ability to organize, validate and use that information. But as AI becomes more capable, another question emerges: Are we becoming better at using technology or becoming too dependent on it to think for us? From reality capture and digital twins to AI, robotics, critical thinking and the future of work, this conversation is about much more than technology. It's about learning how to question it, test it and understand where you fit as the industry changes.
