American Flannel
Thirty-five years ago, 70% of the clothes we wore were made in this country. Today, that number is less than 2%. In my view, that's a grim statistic, and what it says about who we've become as a people - at least, with regard to our relationship with the business

I don't share articles that shower me with praise because I'm desperate for recognition, (though I will say, it beats being blamed,) or because I'm very proud of everyone at mikeroweWORKS, but rather, because these articles give me an excuse to thank everyone on this page for

“Mike - Why do you constantly threaten to fire Chuck? Is he really that incompetent? I find him delightful and enjoy it when things go off the rails. Please don't fire him. By the way, the current episode with Jordan H. is one of the best interviews I've ever listened to.

Lots of ongoing debate from our conversation earlier this week about the various types of “affinity groups” at Harvard and other large universities who emphasize individual traits like race and ethnicity. As I may have mentioned, mikeroweWORKS encourages a different kind of

If you had asked me a year ago, who the biggest supporter of mikeroweWORKS would be in the news media in 2024, I would not have said Christopher C. Cuomo. But…credit where it is due. Chris has done several terrific segments on what we’ve accomplished at mikeroweWORKS, and what we’re

This year, Harvard is once again permitting its students to observe graduation day with a series of “affinity celebrations.” bit.ly/3U0cs53 These celebrations allow students to separate themselves from each other based on their racial and ethnic identities, and then,

Yesterday, I met the guys who invented the “Skip Ad” button on YouTube - a truly transformational invention if there ever was one, right up there with the stapler and the corkscrew. (These are the same guys who created the ad campaign for Poopourri, the Orabrush Tongue Scrapper,

Ep 378: Surviving Disney with Angel Studios founders Jeff Harmon and Neal Harmon is a fascinating look at how these two entrepreneurs survived a multi-million dollar lawsuit and became one of the fastest-growing studios. You’re gonna like these guys.

Happily, as Todd Rose explains to me, that illusion is beginning to collapse, and when it does, great things will happen to our educational system. Give the full video a look on @youtube and share it far and wide. youtube.com/watch?v=rAI2iF…

This week’s episode is with Peter Tilden and is called 'Sitting in a Puddle of Tilden.' It's a reference to what happens when you're a radio host, interviewing a famous actress who doesn't really want to be interviewed, and you have an hour to fill. Good stuff. Listen on Apple

I don't know how many times I've driven across the Francis Scott Key Bridge. A thousand, at least. Probably as many times as I've sailed beneath it. Last time I laid eyes on it, I was standing on the ramparts at Fort McHenry, getting a history lesson from Ranger Vince. I suspect
