Today we're joined by James Neufeld of Samdesk, a company that provides real-time monitoring and intelligence augmentation using AI and software. James, the founder and CEO of Samdesk, has a background in broadcast and journalism, which led him to recognize the need for a better way to gather and analyze information during crises.

The conversation explores the importance of real-time information in emergency management and the challenges faced by traditional systems. It highlights the need for proactive and timely response to incidents, rather than reactive measures. The use of open-source intelligence (OSINT) and technology like Samdesk is discussed as a way to improve situational awareness and enhance decision-making. The conversation also touches on the value of trend analysis and data-driven insights in emergency management. Overall, the focus is on bridging the gap between left of bang (pre-incident) and right of bang (post-incident) to enable more effective emergency response.
