Mike Rowe (@mikeroweworks) of Dirty Jobs and The Way I Heard It podcast (and book) fame joins us to talk about the skills gap, The mikeroweWORKS Foundation, authenticity, and life experiences possible outside the comfort zone. Just don't tell him he's following his passion. [Note: This is a previously broadcast episode from the vault that we felt deserved a fresh pass through your earholes!]

What We Discuss with Mike Rowe:

• Did you know Mike Rowe started his show business career in opera — to get women?
• What are Anagnorisis and Peripeteia?
• Discover how Mike broke a pattern of commodity hosting by approaching the profession as a tradesman.
• Bromide busting and the problems with conventional wisdom.
• Why finding and filling a niche may ultimately be better than chasing what you think is your dream job.
• And much more...

Mike Rowe (@mikeroweworks) is a host and narrator known for his work on Dirty Jobs, Somebody's Gotta Do It, The Way I Heard It Podcast, and Returning the Favor. He is also now an author, and his first book, The Way I Heard It, is out now.

What We Discuss with Mike Rowe:

• The kind of cognitive dissonance Mike believes our country needs right now, and the tropes we could afford to grasp more loosely.
• How the prevailing desire among correction culture commandos to prove others wrong on the Internet stifles our ability to exchange ideas freely.
• Why Mike eschews second takes in favor of presenting his audience with the authentic moments they trust him to share.
• How Mike's thrifty (and crafty) parents suckered him into feeling sorry for rich people when he was growing up.
• Why we shouldn't view a blue collar career pursuit as a cautionary tale in comparison to the lifelong debt likely incurred by chasing a four-year degree these days.
• And much more…
