This is the exact type of podcast I was looking for. I have been interested in drones for about a year and have been playing around with my Mavic Air 2. I just started listening this week. I work for fedex and drive around listening to all of your great advice and stories. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
New drone pilot
This is a great starting point for me to join the ranks of paid pilots. Thanks for all the great ideas and helpful hints.
Great info
This podcast is great and I am always learning something new. Even though the guest are similar I always seem to gain new info. Would recommend to anyone thinking of starting a drone service business.
Great podcast with great info for newbies!!
I just started listening to these podcasts because I’m thinking about starting a drone business as a side business to my main job. It is great to hear how everyone has started there business and how they are growing. One thing that would be helpful is if maybe you could list in the show notes the equipment that they are using as far as models of drones, cameras etc. Not a big deal but it could b helpful to people like me who are still trying to figure out what equipment to get to get started. Thanks again!!
Awesome Podcast
I learned about this podcast after purchasing one of the courses from Drone Launch Academy. I am absolutely thrilled with this podcast and knowing there is an option to make money with my drone. I am a Realtor and wanted to add my own Real Estate Photography and love my drone, so looking to incorporate Aerial photography as well. Listening to all of the guests and the options available ( including roof inspections ) was amazing.
Excellent starting point!
As a new drone owner and soon to be business owner I can’t think of a better way for a new or even experienced drone pilot to get super helpful information from other pilots This company also has numerous training programs designed to help someone like myself get familiar with all rules and regulations required for the FAA Part 107. Definitely a must thank you David for putting this together!!
Amazing content!
Seriously can’t recommend this podcast enough if you’re looking to start any business with a camera. As someone who’s just getting starting, the variety of guests have provided invaluable information for taking the first step and sustaining a business. Keep up the great work!
Educational
I really enjoy the Drone to 1K podcast. I am getting inspired by the topics. Hopefully one day I will be interviewed on the podcast. David keep up the good work. Really enjoyed the last listen by one of the local guys Chris D from Philadelphia.

Been flying drones for a while now, creating some social media content. It recently dawned on me to venture into the commercial end of things. To that end, I've been listening to, and learning from, the Drone to 1K Podcast and have been enjoying ever minute of it. Thanks for creating such great content!
Great Blueprint to get to $1K
This podcast has been a key ingredient in getting myself prepped to open my own drone based business. The information in these interviews has been crucial for me to get to this point, as well as some excellent motivation to just keep moving. As of last June I’m FAA Part 107 certified, have my Instagram account branded with name and logo, ready to send it up. Excited to see where this goes, hoping to make enough progress to get signed up for an upcoming season!
Great testimonials & shared experience
This podcast is jam packed with great inspiration and practical knowledge. I have been flying for a little over a year now, taking side gigs along the way. It is really helpful to hear the experience of all these successful entrepreneurs and pilots. If you are trying to stay motivated and want some inspiration, listen in. You will be happy you did.
Amazing Podcast For Drone Beginners
I am fairly new into drones and wanted to learn tips/trick on how to be a professional drone pilot. I discovered this amazing podcast and have been listening all the time. It’s an amazing podcast containing lots of useful information and great interviews. Highly recommended if you want to get into the drone business.
Awesome podcast
I love listening to these episodes as an aspiring drone photographer. Each one gives me a lot of good information and tips on how to become successful in this field! Thanks David🤙🏻
Great podcast
Very informative and a lot of great episodes for anyone interested in getting started in the drone industry.
Great advice for starting out
Great advice and information for starting a drone business. Here in New Orleans it’s very hard to start a drone business and get clients but he has helped guide me along with his guests. Worth the listen.
Insightful
Love this podcast. Gives you a pretty good idea of all the business ideas that come from drones. Great information on every episode.
Simply amazing
This podcast has taught me more about how to create and maintain a drone business than I could have learned by researching myself. I listen to it at work and plan my future side hustle!
Great for drone businesses
This is a great podcast for existing or aspiring drone-based business owners.
Great
Great podcast. Lots of information easy listening while at work , so I can go and start my own business and quit this one
HELPFULL CONTENT!
This podcast is an incredible resource for those interested in, or starting, their own drone business. The host interviews people who have, usually, recently gone through this process and can provide insight and advice on those first steps. My favorite aspect is that they really focus on client acquisition, especially those first few clients. That has been, for me, and many others, the most difficult part of this industry. Hearing many different approaches to this is very helpful. Not taking stars off, BUT some technical things could certainly improve. The interviews seem to all be done over the phone. So, the audio from the host sounds great. Audio from the interviewee sounds, usually, TERRIBLE. I think doing the interviews in person, when possible, would make a huge difference. And when not possible, send them an audio recorder in the mail so they can record themselves. Then put the tracks together in post. I know of some other podcasts that do this and you can't even tell they aren't in the same room. Another problem over the phone is that there is often a lag between when they speak and when you actually hear them. I have heard quite a few times where they start to talk as you do, but because of the lag it happens over and over and can, quite frankly, be painful to listen to. Just a lag issue though for sure. Overall, GREAT content and resource.
Great Information for an upcoming industry
When looking to acquire my drone certificate, I came across Drone Launch Academy. Their course was incredibly helpful and Informational in showing much of the why behind the facts. David’s interviews on the podcast take that from the details of the FAA info and into the marketplace helping folks like me wanting to break into the industry learn from those who are ahead and how to operate the business side of things. Look forward to the new episodes.
Great information!
David, thank you for creating this podcast! As an aspirating drone entrepreneur, the discussions and the information shared on your podcasts have given me the courage to set up my own business to try and replace the income from my “day job”. Keep up the great work! Eric Green, Taurus UAV LLC
Great Podcast
If you are thinking about entering the Commercial Drone Business this is the Podcast to follow. David interviews the Owner of Drone Business that are generating more than $1000 per month. Interviews are great because they discuss the ups and downs of starting a business and lessons learned that really help pilots that are thinking of making the "jump" from Hobby to Commercial. Also David promotes the services that Drone Launch provides ( from Part 107 to Drone A to Z with Alex HArris (Top Videographer). Is a podcast that adds value to the drone Industry.
Excellent source for information!
I’ve listened to drone podcasts before. But they typically go into the technical aspect and assume your drone company is already off the ground. What this podcast does is fill the gap that’s left out in the beginning while first starting out. The host asks the questions we’ve all been wondering. How did you start? How much did you charge? What are your future plans? Good stuff guys, keep up the good work.
Fascinating
As a drone pilot and an aspiring drone business man I find this podcast practical to guiding me to where I want to be.
Excellent resource and a well run company
I learned about Drone Launch Academy from Facebook adds, signed up for the free 1 hour intro to Aerial Video A to Z with Alex Harris. I was sold immediately with his talent, experience, and humor and signed up for the course. I like to thoroughly research and learn everything I can before getting into the business, and you provide an excellent resource and knowledge base with your courses and with this Drone to 1k podcasts. It’s a valuable resource to learn how others have succeeded and what their niche is. Keep up the great work!
Worth bingeing
I am looking to get an aerial mapping business off the ground and these episodes are pretty dense. Lots of useful data here and questions that I now know I need to answer. I recommend this if you’re wondering how to make money flying drones.
Inspiring, helpful, and interesting!
I have listened to many podcasts before but this is by far my favorite. If you are interested in building your own drone business, this is the podcast for you. I have found a lot of useful information in every interview that I can put into play in my own business.
Motivational and authentic
I’m really enjoying this podcast. I’m now semi-retired and have had a drone for almost 2 years. I originally intended to get a 107 certificate but the motivation to study and take the test faded. This podcast has jump started my efforts. I really want to add aerial photography and promotional video to my part-time web design business.
Informative & Entertaining
As a beginner to the trade, I have been on the hunt for a good drone podcast lately. I stumbled upon Drone to 1k a few days ago and cannot say enough good things about it. They interview the best people, ask great questions and keep it entertaining. I learn so much every episode and highly recommend this podcast to drone pilots at any level - I will definitely be chipping away to listen to every episode over the next few weeks. Thanks, Dave!
