Josh chats with Bill Thompson, founder of Spartan Forge, and Andy Stumpf, a Navy SEAL veteran and pilot, in this episode. Bill shares his Army background as a tech innovator supporting special ops, from radar exploitation to rapid prototyping battlefield tools. They dive into AI's future—demystifying it as pattern recognition, not true intelligence—and its potential to democratize manufacturing, lower prices, and boost American innovation. Bill explains Spartan Forge's evolution: high-res LiDAR mapping, historical imagery, tag odds, and AI scouting for smarter hunts. Topics include business lessons from Evan Hafer, hiring for culture, and preserving rugged individualism in hunting.
