The best resource for drone enthusiasts

This podcast is great if you: - are thinking about starting a business - have a business already and value info about market trends and client anecdotes that can help you grow - want to connect with other drone users From this podcast, I learned about Drone Launch Connect, where I can post a question and hear from an expert. Reddit is great, but I get industry leading advice and tips from folks here who take business and safety seriously. Looking forward to more. -Ian Preston (Nashville, TN)

This is what you want!

The title of the podcast says it all. There is no better way to success than hearing the testimonials from those who have succeeded. The podcast host, David Young, is a very effective interviewer as evidenced by his frequent follow up questions. Some episodes are so packed with useful information that I frequently listen again so I can take notes.

I don’t even own a drone yet, but I listen every day.

I came to this podcast because I had enrolled into a $4,000 course to become a home inspector, and I wanted to add drones to my resume as well. I listen to this podcast so frequently that I dropped the course, requested a deposit refund, and I am now solely focused on the Part 107 course. Thank you for putting this out into the world.

The Best Motivational Drone Podcast

Just getting into the drone world and found this podcast to be one of not many drone business podcast out there focused on success stories. Not only that it's one of a few, but has really great and informative content as well. I listen to this everyday at work. I appreciate that it's on a podcast so I can just plug in my earphones at work without having to watch something on my phone. I'm intrigued and motivated with the success stories of the drone business on here. Keep up with the great content. Thank you Drone Launch Academy!
