"Just because you love something doesn’t mean you can’t suck at
it." - Mike Rowe Mike Rowe (@mikeroweworks) is perhaps
the best storyteller and pitchman I've ever had on the show. You
may know Mike Rowe as the host of Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe is a
TV host, writer, narrator, producer, actor and spokesman. His
performing career began in 1984 when he faked his way into
the Baltimore Opera to get his union card and meet girls, both of
which he accomplished during a performance of Rigoletto. His
transition to television occurred in 1990 when — to settle a bet
— he auditioned for the QVC Shopping Channel and was promptly
hired after talking about a pencil for nearly eight minutes.
There, he worked the graveyard shift for three years, until he
was ultimately fired for making fun of products and belittling
viewers. Why listen to this episode? You will learn: Secrets of
the perfect pitch How Mike flew around the world for free (until
he got caught) Why to pursue opportunity instead of passion How
being different can help you win in business and life The
business of Mike Rowe Favorite books, voice-over artists, and
much, much more... Enjoy! Show notes and links for this episode

by MeUndies. Have you ever wanted to be as powerful as
a mullet-wearing ninja from the 1980’s, or as sleek as a
black panther in the Amazon? Of course you have, and that’s
where MeUndies comes in. I’ve spent the last
six months wearing underwear from these
guys 24/7, and they are the most comfortable and
colorful underwear I’ve ever owned. Their materials are 2x
softer than cotton, as evaluated using the Kawabata
method. Check out MeUndies.com/Tim to see my current faves
(some are awesomely ridiculous, like the camo).
