Small city. I have watched the same faces get every speaking role for two years.

    Yes, and it is not a conspiracy, it is that they are known quantities and the risk of hiring them is zero.

    The way in is to become the fifth person by being unmissably reliable on the small stuff nobody else wants.

    Get to know them. In a small market those four people are frequently the ones who recommend the next hire.

    This is genuinely the argument for a bigger market at a certain point. In a small pond the ceiling is other people.

    I was one of the four in my city for a while. We were not blocking anybody, we just kept turning up. That is the whole method.
