You wouldn’t believe the number of people that ask me how to get into a career in the automotive aftermarket, automotive media, etc. And then I also get asked how I got into the whole thing, which sometimes surprises me because I assumed anyone that cared already knew my story. Then I did my buddy Adam Dorey’s “That’s Cool… Drink!!” podcast where he wanted to know how I got where I was. So when this video from the IronTrap Garage Podcast came up, where they tell us how they started IronTrap Garage Parts, I had to share it. This could be how you get started in the automotive sector.
When a guy opens up a convenience store, a plumbing service, or an oil change place, nobody really wonders how they got into it. But when someone opens up a business that is outside the norm, everyone at least wonders, and lots of folks ask. And let’s face it, selling car parts from the 1930’s and 1940’s is a bit outside the norm, so even if you know that the Iron Trap guys are hardcore into cars you don’t necessarily expect them to have a warehouse full of old iron and parts for sale.
So watch the video and let the boys tell you how it all went down. And then let us know what you think, because we’re hoping it inspires you to do something that follows your passion too!
The “That’s Cool… Drink!!” podcast is down below if you want to watch it too.
