That's not the case I'm afraid. As she had stated around 01:48, she started in her dining room and based on her own website description, she comes from a background in shoe repair...therefore, she already had the foundations set up in advance.

- ken 8y agoI'm not surprised a public-access TV show about makers shows the "used to have an office administration job" perspective, and her own webpage highlights the "background in one aspect of this business" perspective. I don't think either one is completely true or false. The point is that nobody ever "hired" her. Take shoe repair classes if you want, or find a shoemaker who will take you on as an apprentice, or just buy some old tools and watch a bunch of online videos. No matter what path you take to learn the basic skills, you'll never end up with a sole proprietorship like that by being hired.
