Jacob is a pleasure to work with, super knowledgeable in the drone space, and supercharged my business. I have never worked with a business coach prior to this experience and I would 100% do it again. If you’re on the fence but serious about growing your business, just do it!!

I’ve been in Jacobs Drone Coaching program for a few months now. Anybody can fly a drone but if you’re serious about making a business out of it, this is the ideal way to pursue it. Not only does he work with people like myself that had ZERO experience with drones and editing but he also works with many pilots that currently have a drone business but simply want to improve on their business and grow. We have group calls, we share content, ideas, best practices, training, modules etc. If you don’t have your Part 107 certificate, he has a ton of free content to assist you. If you currently have your FAA Part 107 certificate and you are considering his program DM me through my Instagram account Tahoma Aerial Drone Services, I would be more than willing to have a discussion with you.

Jacob’s program has helped me immensely to start my drone business. Jacob’s knowledge on not only drone operations but also running and managing a successful drone business is top tier. The community he built is huge a testament of what he can provide you through your process/experience and everyone here is willing to help and provide answers to all your questions. Highly recommend joining if you want to take your business to the next level.

There are many things to learn about owning your drone business. This course helped shortened the learning curve and helped me gain confidence to pursue my dream. I would recommend it to anyone just getting into the business or struggling to find their way, learn from Jacob!

Jacobs mentorship program provided me with the structure and confidence to operate as a single person handling many important parts of starting my aerial videography business. This program was the white glove treatment, full wrap around training that covers from your actual drone piloting skills to managing your sales, handling flight restrictions, clients expectations and more. I recommend this program to anyone that has a part 107 certification and also would prefer to work for themselves but needs a little more initial guidance.

Having Jacob as a drone coach has been awesome. I decided to pursue drone services full time in December 2025, and he's helped me build the foundation for a successful business. We've flown in some highly restricted airspace, delivered great results for our clients, and tackled projects I never would have imagined when I first started. Jacob has taught me what it really takes to run a full-service drone operation, from planning and compliance to delivering high-quality work. If you're looking to grow as a remote pilot and take your skills to the next level, Drone Crew is the place to do it.

Jacob and his Drone Coach program has been immensely helpful in helping me build my business, Flying Squirrels Photography. When I linked up with Jacob in the Fall of 2025, it was the perfect timing. I was needing help to launch my own business, had NO idea how to do it.

I had been flying drones and doing photography for family and friends for a few years, but I never fully took it seriously as a business. Then, Jacob reached out to me through social media back in September, and honestly, it came at the perfect time. I had already been considering starting a drone business, but he really helped solidify that decision for me. Since then, I’ve learned so much from Jacob, Travis, JT, and the rest of the Drone Crew. It’s not just a course or a business opportunity, it’s a community that lifts people up, supports each other, and cheers you on. Now, about half a year later, I’ve made my money back and more. I’m even on track to make $1,300 this week alone. Of course, you still have to push yourself and put in the work to be successful, but they give you the blueprint, the support, and the confidence to go after it. I’m really grateful for JCL Aerial Services and the Drone Crew. If you’re serious about getting into drones or building something for yourself, this is a great place to start.

Working with Jacob was a great experience. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the process. Scheduling was easy, and he made everything seamless. He delivered exactly what we needed for our marketing, and we will definitely use his company again. I highly recommend him to others as well.

I can’t say enough good things about Jacob as a Drone Crew Business Coach. His experience as a drone pilot and business leader is next level. He doesn’t just teach theory — he shares real-world strategies that actually work. What sets him apart is how genuinely invested he is in each of us. He teaches, encourages, and leads by example, pushing you to grow while making you feel supported. Because of his leadership, the Drone Crew feels like family — not just a group. If you’re serious about growing your drone business, Jacob is the coach you want in your corner.
Matt B.
Working with my Jacob has been a game changer. He helped me understand how to structure and optimize my website to be more SEO-friendly so the right customers can actually find me. He also walked me through how to properly price and package my services in a way that makes sense and increases profitability as well as how to confidently explain the pricing to customers without feeling like a salesman. On top of that, he helped me get Google Ads set up the right way, which gave me clarity and confidence in my marketing strategy.

Before my initial meeting with Jacob and joining the drone crew, I was lost in what I could do to grow my drone business. But with Jacob and the drone crew I’ve had a support system that’s helped keep me on track and motivated to keep growing! The modules that Jacob has created are also priceless and helps you with almost everything little thing from starting and growing your drone business. Thank you Jacob for helping grow Pilot Peak Drones to what it is now and hopefully into something much greater as time goes on!
Jordan B.
I’ll just say I accomplished more in the 1st two weeks than I had in the entire last 2yrs. Jacob and the crew are amazing. It’s not a get rich program. You 100% get out what you put in and having Jacob along side to coach me and the crew to support me. If you’re serious about making money flying drones. These guys will get you there!

Working with Jacob Lewis has been transformative for my business. While I had the drive to succeed as a commercial drone pilot, Jacob’s guidance gave me the foundation to make my business visible in the marketplace. Jacob went far beyond technical know-how—he showed me how to build my presence online, create my website, and let people know that I’m in business. He taught me the importance of branding, digital marketing, and how to connect with clients in the real estate and commercial industries. His mentorship covered everything from FAA compliance to business outreach, making the entire process clear and achievable. With Jacob’s support, I’ve been able to establish a professional online profile that attracts real clients. If you want a coach who truly cares about your business success and will help you stand out, Jacob Lewis is the mentor you need.
Jacob B.
The Drone Crew came at the perfect time for me. I already had the technical flying skills, but I needed confidence, direction, and real examples from other pilots who were making it work. Seeing everyone’s progress early on really helped me believe I could push forward with my own drone business. Jacob is an incredibly knowledgeable pilot across all aspects of the industry, and he’s truly out there flying real jobs. His experience shows in the way he breaks things down, explains opportunities, and supports pilots at different stages. And if you ever need a true professional pilot in the Las Vegas area, Jacob is the real deal. For anyone looking to gain clarity, build momentum, and surround themselves with other pilots who are going for it, The Drone Crew is a powerful jumpstart. I’m grateful for the push this program gave me in the beginning.

Jacob's course and coaching have been invaluable to my beginning my drone business. Without it, I would still be struggling with the things Jacob makes easier to understand. His modules thoroughly walk you through every aspect of setting up and running your drone business and if there's still something you need help with, you can ask him directly or the community he's created and you're sure to always get an answer in a timely manner. After finishing my initial training and modules, I elected to stay in the course because of the resources available to you as a drone pilot. If you're thinking about getting into the drone business but aren't sure how or where to begin, Jacob is your guy! I've been in other training programs and bought other courses, Jacob's is the best and most thorough, hands down. Worth every penny! He covers the important details others just gloss over in favor of focusing on the things everyone else covers, too. Most other courses and coaches tell you you need to get from A to Z. Jacob walks you through the whole alphabet.

I can honestly say Jacob’s mentorship has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made for my business and for myself as an entrepreneur. Before joining his program, I was spinning my wheels for months trying to figure out how to get real traction. I had the passion, but I didn’t have the systems, strategy, or clarity to grow the way I wanted to. That all changed when I started working with Jacob. His online training modules are incredibly well put together, not just generic advice, but step-by-step processes that you can actually implement immediately. Every time I went through a section, I felt like I had a clear action plan, and I could see results start to build right away. It gave me the foundation and structure that I had been missing for so long. What really separates Jacob’s program, though, are the one-on-one Zoom sessions with him are worth their weight in gold. Jacob takes the time to understand exactly where you’re at, what you’re struggling with, and then he gives you tailored advice that cuts straight to the point. He’s not afraid to challenge you, but it’s always in a way that helps you level up. Those calls gave me confidence and accountability I never had before. Since joining Jacob’s program, my business has gone from barely off the ground to growing with real momentum. I’m booking more clients, I have a clear plan for scaling, and most importantly I finally feel like I’m in control of my growth instead of just hoping something clicks. If you’re serious about building your business, stop guessing and trying to do everything alone. Jacob gives you the tools, strategies, and support to actually make it happen. If you put in the work and follow his program, you will 100% see results. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Raynor G.
Jacob's DroneCrew program is a superb program to help build a drone service business. His knowledge and information helped me understand what was need to suceed in the drone world after having the FAA 107. Highly recommend him as a coach for his Bi-weekly group calls, monthly 1on1s, and online coursework to build the foundation of a drone service business. Grateful for his guidance in helping me.
Donnie M.
I was struggling for years trying to grow this business. Jacob gave me the tools I needed to do what I needed to do to increase my business to the level I wanted to grow to. His online training modules are very consider. The 1 on 1 zoom calls with Jacob bring immeasurable value to the program. The twice a week group calls are amazing. The unity of the Drone crew is great for advice and feedback, etc. I would recommend to anyone wanting to grow their business. If you follow his program you WILL have success
Travis
I was struggling to build my business, Jacob changed that for me. How? Using Jacob as a Drone Coach taught me not just how to grow my business but how to stay relevant in the drone industry. One of the most important skills he teaches you is communicating with other large businesses on a professional level. Opening doors you never thought possible. I can't say enough about what having a Jacob as Drone Coach can do for you if your willing to put in the work.

Jacob Helped me take my drone Business to the next level. He showed me the difference between business to consumer (posting cool videos, hoping people might come find you) versus business to business (showing the value you provide to each business). The modules he created helped guide my thoughts and ideas, consolidate the vision, and provided the skills, tools and even scripts necessary to pitch yourself and your business. He helped me get out of my comfort zone as both a drone pilot and a business owner. His one-on-one calls kept me on track, and gave me the boost of confidence I needed when things were slow. The greatest thing I will take away from his Program is the community he built. The way Jacob connects other pilots and shares tips of the trade is unmatched. He encourages teaching, helping others, and created a judgement free community where everyone supports and uplifts one another. With the support and guidance of the #DroneCrew, I've already made huge strides in my business, made triple the connections I previously had, and earned nearly $1,000 in the first few months of working together. If you've read this far, I think you already know what you have to do... JOIN THE #DRONECREW. You won't regret it.

I initially wasn't sure if joining a coaching group was for me. I am stubborn and independent. Turns out, it was more than just a basic coaching course. Jacob has a lot of knowledge with both drone ops as well as with business and marketing. I found a lot of value in having someone to review and critique my work and give feedback from a professional standpoint and not just friends and family who are obliged to give positive feedback. As an extra bonus, being part of a group of other drone pilots, all at different levels of experience and focus', gave further support with wins, struggles, motivation, etc.

Jacob helped me to advance my knowledge and focus my attention to the details needed to grow my business! Thanks for your support and I look forward to flying with you again soon! #dronecrew

I will be back in touch!!

I joined Jacob’s drone coaching program when I was just getting started with my drone business—only about a month or two into flying a drone for the first time. The coaching modules, group calls twice a week, and the community of people with similar goals were super helpful and kept me motivated. There’s honestly so much that goes into starting a drone business (a lot I didn’t even realize at first), and this program made learning everything way easier and more straightforward. Right now, I’m still working a full-time job, but my goal is to eventually go full-time with my business. It’s a long road, but I feel way more confident now and actually believe I can make it happen—something I didn’t feel when I first started. My favorite part of the program has to be the community. Everyone is incredibly supportive and kind. Starting a business can be isolating, but being part of a group where you can share wins, ask questions, and get real advice from people who get it was huge for me. There are people in the group who are further along that you can learn from, and others who are just getting started that you can help out. I honestly don’t know if I would’ve stuck with my dream of building a drone business without Jacob and the support from the group.
