## Resource

In this DroneOn Show episode, Mike and Jay talks with Bryce Matthews of StratoWorx Drone Solutions in Indiana. At 31 years old and brand new to spray drones, Bryce is right on the edge of pulling the trigger on a T100 and starting his own operation. He shares his extensive research process, why he’s leaning toward DJI, his conversations with current pilots at the conference, and how he plans to build the business alongside a partner while balancing family life (including 7 kids and a serious coon hunting hobby). Bryce also opens up about his background in CNC machining, RV sales, and why he’s ready to go all-in on drones as he moves back to southern Indiana. A raw, honest look at what it takes for a complete newcomer to enter the spray drone world.
