Specifically when it comes to companies, why the gate keeping? I always found lock-picking to be a fun hobby when I was younger and would love to get something going on the side. Digital Marketing is one of my skills I’ve acquired over the years and feel most smiths in my area have no idea where to begin in that sense so since it’s not heavily advertised digitally, I feel that is a space I could do well in or potentially join on a company and help them do well in. Would appreciate your insight.. thanks!

Appreciate the simplicity! This AMA has been a awesome read and it’s inspired me to “pick” my hobby back up!

I didn’t actually say that. And what I meant by gatekeeping was the barrier to entry on hiring people as smiths. Seems like it’s easier to get into as owner/op without license than it is to get into as a new employee. So I’m guessing most of these guys just straight up are doing it all on their own or just not hiring much or sub-ing it out to other locksmiths in the area or sending them the lead entirely out of good faith one will come back.

How do you manage so many things and people and feelings? Singing is a very personal instrument. How do you feel working with singers who devote themselves to their craft has effected you personally?
