Work is not a problem. Focus on doing things right the first time. More information allows you to do it better the first time.

Three succinct phrases of wisdom from our guest this week - Dr. Robert 'Bob' Wample - Director of Science and Technology for LandScan - a company developing intelligence site characterization and analysis technology for applications in the agricultural sector. Dr. Wample is a plant physiologist by trade with 20+ years of experience in plant-related science and soil variability.

In this episode, we talked about:

- Lessons learned early in Bob's life on the farm focused on doing things right the first time

- A Marine Corps career in places like Ethiopia and Nepal

- Navigating a military transition during the Vietnam War

- An impressive 20+ year career studying the relationship between soil variability and crop performance

- Aggregating data layers at LandScan to deliver a product capable of improving decisionmaking

- Balancing speed to market through sensor interoperability with proprietary sensor and software development

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
