Listener Reviews

I just recently found this podcast and also recently got my first drone. I think I may change my ‘recreational’ flying to perhaps start making some side money! Very informative podcast and I like that a lot of these people started out just like me, flying for fun. I especially enjoy the 2 truths and a lie question that you can attempt. I’ve started taking notes so I can get it right!

If you enjoy drones, and especially if you have interest in making any money from drones, you will enjoy this podcast. You will also likely learn something regardless of what level you are at.

This week’s episode with Maryland Drone Guy is just the inspiration that I’ve been needing to get started! I’ve been a drone enthusiast and Part 107 licensed pilot since 2016, but have never taken the necessary steps to make it a true side hustle. I too have a full time job, enjoy flying and taking videos and photos but just haven’t had the confidence to put myself out there. This episode did it for me. It’s time! Great job guys!!!

I have been interested in starting a drone business for just a few months and this podcast has been inspirational to me, especially the episodes involving construction and inspection. Keep producing awesome content!

I’ve been enjoying Drone to $1K for all the great stories from people who are monetizing their interest in flying drones, or utilizing drones in their already existing businesses. I just passed my Small Unmanned Aircraft test (today!) just so I can capitalize on the opportunities when they come up. Eagerly awaiting my certificate, but while I wait, I’m continuing to listen to your show for ideas that I may not have thought of before. Thanks, and keep the interviews coming!

I jumped on this train early and have used it as a guide building up my own drone business. David and the guests are all informative and have valuable insights that keep paying off. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask them questions because I’ve found many accessible and incredibly helpful! Wonderful show and business!

I am in the initial phases of starting out my own drone business and came to this podcast for guidance. It's great hearing all of these success stories from so many other successful drone pilots. I'm only through season 1 at this point but it has already given me so many great ideas, and has given me a clear direction I'd like to go. Thanks David for putting these together!!

This is one of my favorite podcasts. I’ve been listening for about 6 months and I always find helpful business tips from each episode. David always seems to ask the guests the best questions. Can’t wait for Season 4!

I don't own a drone - yet.This podcast has sparked an interest in using drones to earn a living while having fun and exercising my creativity. I had no idea drones available "over-the-counter" at Best Buy could be used like this. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the podcasts. S2/Ep 4 With Alex Harris, is my favorite.I was most surprised by how lightly they treated Alex's serious physical challenge.Looking forward to season 4.

This podcast gives you all the information you need to make money with your drone. The best part is the different ways each individual made money and all the great advice each episode. Keep it up!

I’ve been listening for just about a year now. David knows how to have great conversations and how to keep things on point. Other than some valid self-promotion and great information on Drone Launch Academy, there’s no extra stuff getting in the way of a great show each episode. I really appreciate the variety of guests. It’s inspiring to turn on these episodes when driving to shoot for my own clients or commuting for the “day job”. I promise that experienced AV professionals like me can find great nuggets in each episode!

Man, I am so happy to have found your podcast. I have been podcast channel surfing and although most of them are informative none of them were what I have been looking for.So I am a new drone flyer. As a kid I have dreamed of being a pilot but my parents never pushed me that way so I ended up in the technology field. I am looking for a career post retirement as I am about 5 years away from that and when my wife gave me the Mini 2 for Xmas, that’s all she wrote. I am hooked and have dreams of doing drone commercial work after retiring from the corporate world.I have loved every episode I have consumed of your show and I have been studying to take the part 107 test and I am a little nervous about it.Keep up the good work and I am so glad to have found your show!MannyM

I have listened to all of the episodes at least twice on my drives to and from the mountains. Very informative and motivating to say the least. The courses are also very helpful as I have obtained my Part 107 with the aide of Drone Launch Academy. Thank you do all that you do David and the entire DLA Team. I hope to be at 1k per month by Year End. Cheers. Al

Enjoying listening to your podcast, great advice and strategies for starting a new drone photography business. Thanks for all of your hard work. And have a great day.Kyle C.

I took the Part 107 course from you guys, then found out about this podcast. I love hearing the diverse methods of making money with your drone. So helpful for my new business. I highly recommend this! MattTreetopDroneShots.com

I’m very new to drones and had been looking for a podcast that could help me understand the industry better and what avenue to go down with drones. It was so helpful to be able to listen to so many different people being interviewed that do totally different jobs with their drones. It really helped me figure out what direction I wanted to go and just how far I can go with my own drone company!

I have learned so much from both the Drone to $1K podcast, the online course and the live webinars that I have anywhere else in the many places I’ve gone for drone flying and business education. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in getting into this fascinating business.

I wish I would have seen this way before now. I am inrolled Drone Launch Academy so far I have enjoyed the course.Looking forward to season 4.I will be going back to season one to catch up to speed.

I just started listening to this podcast and wish I started earlier! Very informational episodes for anyone who wants to start a business in the drone industry. Inspiring guests and helpful content provided by David and the guests. Can’t wait for season 4!

It’s a place where is worth to spend your time! Very refined and organized information. I’m really enjoying in following this podcast, it’s a great way to get inspired and updated at the same time. thank you very much to make this possible and for share this kind of knowledge.

Love the podcast, great information, great guests. Thanks for the great info and the great website. Enrolled in the part 107 course already. Thank you

I took the Drone Launch Academy Part 107 course a few years ago. It was a great course and I passed the test with 96%. The podcast is very informative and inspiring, with great tips on making money with your drone, as well as some general tips for running a small business.

I really enjoy learning about many different ways that drones are being used through this podcast. I also really enjoy learning from those who are willing to share their experiences using drones for business

Just finished binging all of the episodes. It was great to hear the production development from episode one to their most recent. It is also great to hear business owners talk about the different stages of the growth of their business. Thank you for making this information available for those of us considering our own start up.
