Discover why Dusty Jolley became the heart of our Drone Launch Connect community as its manager. Seeking a leader for our new community at Drone Launch Academy, I sent out a video application to our email list. Among the responses, one individual stood out – Dusty. His interview approach caught my attention as he humorously introduced himself as the "inventor of the drone, Mr. Al Gore." The light-hearted joke stayed with me, and during the interview, three key factors highlighted Dusty's suitability. Firstly, his diverse experience across drone industry segments, including mapping, FPV drones, cinematography, and photography. Secondly, his hands-on involvement in running his own drone business lent valuable real-world expertise. Lastly, he effortlessly passed the "hangout test" – our conversation felt like a friendly dinner, full of engaging exchanges. I'm thrilled to witness Dusty's contributions to the Drone Launch Connect community and the exciting workshops he's crafting.
