Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How a Drone Pilot Marketplace Differs From a Managed Network
Q: What kind of advice would you give to a new pilot to be able to get those jobs over some more established workers?
Apke recommends building a detailed portfolio, explaining relevant experience in bids, responding promptly, and working to earn jobs and five-star reviews. He says accepting lower bids at first can help a new pilot build a reputation and qualify for better-paying work.
How a Drone Pilot Marketplace Differs From a Managed Network
Q: Can you talk a little bit about the key differentiators between what you do and what those types of companies do?
Apke says Droners primarily operates as a marketplace where clients post jobs and pilots bid and communicate directly with them. The company also offers managed services, mainly for enterprise clients, but that is a smaller part of its business.
Lucid Bots CEO Andrew Ashur on Growth in Drone Cleaning and U.S. Manufacturing
Q: Where do you see the biggest challenges that still remain in terms of bringing this manufacturing onshore?
Ashur identifies raw materials as a major gap, pointing out that domestic motors and batteries can still depend on imported magnets and lithium. He says building resilient U.S. supply chains requires investing in domestic production and extraction of those materials.
Lucid Bots CEO Andrew Ashur on Growth in Drone Cleaning and U.S. Manufacturing
Q: Can you talk a little bit about the company's business model?
Lucid Bots began as a cleaning company so it could understand customers' needs firsthand. It now sells drones, trains and supports cleaning businesses, and connects its customers with job leads while helping them develop sales and operations.
What the FCC Covered List Means for Drone Components
Q: How does Infinite Electronics view the convergence between commercial and military drone markets affecting product strategy?
The company sees common components across both sectors and emphasizes driving cost down through scale while ensuring domestic manufacturing capabilities and a robust support ecosystem to meet mixed regulatory and demand pressures.
