Georg Molzer and Dave Wallace built Shadowmap to change that. It's a real-time 3D global tool that shows exactly where sunlight lands, at any time of day, any day of the year, anywhere on Earth.Georg came to this work through a melanoma diagnosis that left him told to avoid the sun forever. He didn't. Through years of listening to his body, rebuilding his circadian rhythms, and letting go of medical advice that felt wrong, he returned to the sun and then built an app to help others find it. Dave discovered Shadowmap at a government tech expo in Dubai, zoomed in on his house in the UK, and immediately understood why he'd spent years feeling like something was missing. They met at a tech expo in Dubai and decided to team up to bring sun mapping to the world.Shadowmap now serves over 700,000 users per month and just launched Sunscore, the world's first sunlight metric, in partnership with Redfin, one of the largest real estate platforms in the US. Forty-four percent of people would choose a smaller home if it had better sunlight. That instinct already exists. This tool makes it legible.We talk about Georg's melanoma and Hashimoto's journey, Dave's SAD and his conservatory turned solarium, the surprising uses people find for Shadowmap (including dating 19th century paintings), and why making sunlight a conscious variable in how we live is one of the most important shifts we can make right now.Timestamps00:00 Seasonal Depression and Sunlight01:05 What Shadowmap Does01:52 Meet Georg and Dave03:07 Substack Updates04:26 Georg's Health Journey06:55 How Dave Found Shadowmap11:29 Why Sunlight Matters14:05 Rethinking Sun Exposure After Melanoma17:38 Building Healthy Sun Tolerance21:09 Morning Sunlight Habits24:51 Sunlight and Mood31:03 Trusting Your Body's Signals33:33 Healing Beyond Conventional Medicine36:00 Why Doctors Often Recommend Avoiding the Sun36:45 Why Beaches Feel So Restorative40:13 Becoming More Conscious of Light41:39 How Shadowmap Works44:40 Optimizing Your Home for Sunlight49:19 Creative Uses for Shadowmap50:50 A Sunlight Score for Every Home55:02 Making Sunlight a Health Standard01:00:13 Where to Find Shadowmap01:01:53 Closing Thoughts and OutroConnect with Dave Wallace & Georg MolzerInstagram: @shadowmap_orgX: @shadowmap_orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shadowmapResources MentionedShadowmap: shadowmap.orgShadowmap app: Apple App Store (search "Shadowmap") | Android launching soonSunlight Matters podcast: available on all podcast platformsSunscore on Redfin: redfin.comShadowmap on Instagram: instagram.com/shadowmap_orghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/davejvwallace/https://www.linkedin.com/in/molzer/There's more to QBC: Donate to launch JAQB: https://givebutter.com/AQBjournallaunchYou can join the FREE QBC online community here: https://qbcpod.com/freecommunityThe Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, a non profit organization translating the new science into practical application: https://www.iaqb.foundation/certificationFrom our sponsor: For red light therapy devices, blue blocking glasses, circadian friendly nightlights & more, visit boncharge.com and enter QBC in the discount box at checkout.MyCircadianAppDownload to your device from the App Store, use code QBCPOD.
