  • Amazingly Refreshing

    As many of us did, I grew up watching Dirty Jobs. Naturally I found a childhood hero in Mike Rowe. His podcast is very though out and a breathe of fresh air. The topics are vast and the quality of the speakers is top notch.

  • Generational skills

    I’m a senior American citizen about to startup a cnc business; and it’s your fault. Regardless, I envision my efforts will support and contribute to my family and our country for at least three generations. Thank you in advance Mr. Rowe for your continued inspiration to all of us within the sound of your voice.
