Summary

Mike Rowe has been a TV personality for a long time. He's best known as the host of "Dirty Jobs" where he shows the world what it's like to do dangerous and disgusting jobs. Mike showed us that there's dignity in work. Of all kinds. In this episode, I ask Mike what made him want to do that show. He told me, "Curiosity." "It's no less valid to wonder how a sewer works than how the Hubble works." Mike shows that work is not about prestige. It's about providing... something so many of us forget to recognize ourselves for. Even if we deserve to. I write about all my podcasts!
