When we think about private investigations, Care jumps to My Favorite Murder, while Suz imagines sitting in a parked car stalking persons of interest. This week, April Smith founder of Commonwealth Investigative Solutions shares with us the real life experience of being a private investigator.

April laughs that while some children dream of becoming an actor or a teacher, she knew at 5 she wanted to become a homicide detective – and she did it! April shares how one becomes a private investigator and how this field is often the last hope to assemble the missing pieces that have fallen through the cracks to solve an open (or sometimes closed) case. April also shares why we might hire a private investigator and how we initiate the process, in addition to describing the types of cases she takes on.

Throughout this episode, April sheds light on how she finds balance between the personal and professional in a high pressure business. We learn how she protects herself and her family and why she chose to become an entrepreneur rather than work for another firm. You’ll want to tune in to hear the fascinating stories of the job and how your use of social media may be exposing you more than you think!
