The High On Life Podcast #03 - The Truth Behind Being A Drone Pilot (Guest: @downtofilm)

#HOLPODCAST SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Today we've got a special guest in the hot seat. Zachary Moxley (@downtofilm on Instagram) is an incredibly creative and talented creator, with his biggest skill being an official UAV drone pilot. We interviewed him for about an hour to ask many questions regarding official drone licensing, near-crashes and what happens when he transforms into his Instagram alter-ego, 'Fast Mox'.
It's our first interview of the podcast, but let us know in the comments what you thought about this episode! And also let us know what you'd like to hear more of in the future!
