From Laid Off to CEO: Quinton Lewis on Building an Aviation Empire

from The Business Growth Journey with Nick Termini · host Nick Termini

What do you do when your industry leaves town and you're suddenly out of a job? If you’re Quinton Lewis, you start an LLC, fly to a conference you’ve never heard of, and build a business from the ground up.   In this episode of the Business Growth Journey, Nick Termini sits down with Quinton Lewis, co-founder of Helios Airborne Solutions. They dive into the "scrappy" early days of aerial survey, the terrifying reality of your first flight lesson at 18, and how a "bias for action" can solve the problem of not having a million-dollar sensor (yet). Key Takeaways: - The transition from employee to business owner. - Overcoming the "fear of heights" (literally and figuratively) in business. - The power of networking: Why showing up is 90% of the battle. - Navigating the high-stakes world of aviation and geospatial data.
