Episode #118 - From Helicopters to Real Estate: Dylan Tent’s Journey – The Helicopter Podcast
Welcome to The Helicopter Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS!
In this episode of The Helicopter Podcast, host Halsey Schider sits down with Dylan Tent, a helicopter pilot and real estate agent, to discuss his unconventional career path and entrepreneurial successes. Dylan shares how the Red Bull "The Art of Flight" movie shifted his aspirations from chiropractic school to aviation, and how that eventually led into real estate.
They explore his unique use of aerial photography to market luxury homes, the financial realities of helicopter ownership, and the power of networking in aviation. Dylan also dives into his latest business venture—investing in a company that develops non-narcotic pain medicine derived from cobra venom. Along the way, they trade stories about helicopter landings in residential neighborhoods, the challenges of pilot pay, and the balancing act of pursuing passion versus financial stability.
Tune into this episode of The Helicopter Podcast, packed with insights on creativity, business, and aviation, with a unique look at how helicopters can open doors in unexpected industries!
