About this listen

"How to Become a Private Investigator: A Guide to Breaking into the Field (Told by Someone Who Did)"This is your no-BS, step-by-step guide to launching a career in private investigation. Written by Ken Childs, founder and lead investigator of Paramount Investigative Services, Inc., this book skips the fluff and gets real about what it’s like to start from scratch. Ken doesn’t just talk theory—he’s been there, building his own business from the ground up.

In this guide, he breaks down everything you actually need to know, like how to get licensed, the best (and worst) gear to buy, and what it really takes to get your first client. From navigating legal hoops to managing your first big case, Ken’s got you covered. Whether you’re looking to switch careers or just want to see what it’s like to be a PI, this book lays it out in plain English. No jargon, no sugar-coating—just an honest look at what it takes to succeed in the PI world.
