Since I've talked about this incident a few times and have been flying drones for almost a decade I thought it might be helpful to update everyone on the LA Drone Pilot incident that involved a DJI Mini Pro 3 and one of the water planes.

There’s a lot of noise out there about the “gig economy,” but what does it actually take to build a lasting, profitable, and fulfilling freelance career? That’s the central question explored in Project Freelance. Hosted by K Enagonio-a working filmmaker, photographer, and musician-this podcast moves beyond theory and gets into the granular, often unspoken realities of independent work. Each conversation with a seasoned professional strips away the glossy social media facade to reveal the hard-won lessons, tactical advice, and honest struggles that define life outside the traditional office. You’ll hear specific strategies for attracting better clients and commanding rates that truly reflect your value, alongside discussions on navigating contracts, setting boundaries, and designing a business that supports personal freedom, whether that means working remotely or crafting a sustainable schedule. This isn’t about side-hustle hype; it’s a practical resource for anyone serious about turning their skills into a legitimate, self-directed career. By focusing on real stories and actionable insights, this podcast provides a genuine sense of community and guidance for the journey from uncertain freelancer to confident creative professional.
