We start the podcast with what Italian means to Mike and his
favorite Italian word. Hint (Earmuffs!). He tells us what his
household was like as a child and what influences he took from
his family to start the business. Mike gives us where the whole
concept originated from, how it began with just one shirt on
Ebay. 


He graduated from NIU with a Business Administration degree, did
an internship at his father’s place of employment along with the
hours he keeps for this job. Was Mike scared at all to start this
full-time coming out of college or did he just hit the ground
running? He explains who all is involved in Hardcore Italians and
how it operates. We learn what is all available on the site, such
as apparel, recipes, news blogs, and more! (Get YOURS!) What his
thoughts of the worst BOGO of all time may be? Biggest challenge
of operating Hardcore Italians, how long it took to build the
brand, the day-to-day operations and how Hardcore Italians has
changed his life. What are backyard pizza parties!?
