Love the podcast, love the Foundation and your work for a long time. I just retired from education last June with about 15 years as an admistrator- Spec. Ed Director, Principal Superintendent and anything else that needed doing. One of my biggest concerns/goals was getting students into the trades while in high school, so much so my own children bought me your work smarter not harder poster. So needless to say I'm a huge fan and am so happy to see how far you've taken this initiative and am so looking forward to seeing where things go. best wishes, Stephen Guenther.

Long time fan and follower!

What a fantastic podcast. Very fun, from beginning to end, with a wonderful guest. Katie is a superhero, in my opinion, and I shall make a donation to her non- profit organization. This donation will be made as a DIRECT result of this interview. You guys, Mike and Chuck, are doing incredibly wonderful things and add a bit more pride to being a Baltimoron!! All jokes aside, what you do at Mike Rowe Works is not only commendable but trend setting as well. Each and every episode seems to add to my desire to ramp up my own efforts. I am in recovery and will have 4 years clean on January 17th of 2022 and continue to work in the recovery community. My fiancé and I collect and distribute coats and blankets in the cold season, hygienic products, and underwear year round, we contribute to the rehab facility where we both achieved sobriety after a decade long battle with opiate addiction. Thanksgiving and Christmas are difficult times for the less fortunate. Therefore, we purchase and cook a full spread and take it to Project Echo (a local homeless shelter) and serve the aforementioned people. We have a son now, Orion Sage, who turns 2 on November 24th and we want him to grow up recognizing that not everyone has heat, food, or family. And most pertinent of all show Orion that Christmas is NOT about gifts and shopping. Regardless of whatever belief a person has, I believe we can all agree that these holidays have all but completely lost their true meanings. I'm way off course here, but I'm elated to know that there truly are still good people in this world, namely in this country. Also, I feel a sense of pride knowing that a regular guy who grew up just 15 minutes from where I did is making such a huge impact. Seriously, Mike and Chuck, you guys are doing it, man. Keep it up, carry that torch up high, do not censor yourselves, and please continue to make positive changes in people's lives. How's that for a 5-star review?? You guys are awesome, and I hope to be able to make even one tenth the impact that you have.

Excellent!

I love the format. It’s an informative conversation between intelligent people.
I especially enjoy the lack of parsing each statement.
Katie Hughes is quite a gal. Her backstory growing up in an all-girl household is funny and endearing. And, very American.
