In this episode, we sit down with Chris Lewis, the visionary founder of Vets to Drones, a trailblazing initiative turning battlefield experience into high-tech aerospace innovation. Chris shares how his program equips veterans with cutting-edge drone skills, enabling them to thrive in industries ranging from agriculture to national defense.

We dive into:

How military skills translate into the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) world 

Why veterans are uniquely positioned to lead the drone revolution

The challenges of workforce transition—and how Vets to Drones helps bridge the gap

The growing importance of UAS in the American industrial base and defense supply chain

This is more than a conversation—it's a blueprint for what reintegration, innovation, and national resilience can look like. Whether you’re a veteran, a tech builder, or just someone who cares about American ingenuity, you don’t want to miss this one.

From boots on the ground to eyes in the sky—this is the future of the force.
