\nThe featured guest on today's episode of the Manaverse Podcast is Jay Mason-Grant. Jay is the owner of Black Knight Games in Hamilton, Ontario.\u00a0
\nJay has a pretty interesting origin story for how he got into the business, and yet the path he took is often overlooked by those who want to build their own LGS.\u00a0Running\u00a0an LGS is quite the undertaking so any experience you can get before hand can give you a decent advantage over those who just jump in. And what better place to learn the ropes of the miniatures industry than within\u00a0the walls of a Games Workshop.\u00a0
\nWhile you're here, check out Black Knight Games' innovative Hero Rewards program.\u00a0
\nThe other topics for this episode include:
\n
\nThe a-ha moment
\nGaining experience before opening an LGS
\nFinding the perfect location and how to screw it up
\nSurprise, taxes!
\nMentors and the role they can play in your life
\nGame space or no game space?
\n
\nFollow Black Knight Games on Facebook\u00a0and say hello to Jay Mason-Grant and the team.\u00a0
