Listen Later

In this episode of Your Drone Questions. Answered, host John Dickow interviews Ryan Stotsky, the owner and operator of Zero to 400 Drone Services. Ryan shares his unique business of using drones with thermal cameras to help locate lost pets. He walks through the process of how he receives calls from distraught pet owners, assesses if a drone search is viable based on factors like airspace, and then conducts nighttime thermal imaging flights to try to detect the pet's heat signature.

Ryan provides fascinating insights into guiding owners to the pet's location using the drone's spotlights and GPS coordinates, highlighting memorable rescues where owners came agonizingly close to the pet before his guidance led them right to it. He stresses the emotional nature of these operations and the joy of being able to reunite families with their fur babies.

The interview also covers helpful tips for aspiring drone entrepreneurs, with Ryan advising them to identify unmet needs in their area that drone services could fill. His journey showcases how finding an underserved niche like pet search and rescue can lead to a rewarding drone business that truly makes a difference in people's lives.
