An 81-year old man named Don made me a pocketknife. He forged the steel himself, and put some meteorite into the blade. Color me impressed.

fortune.com/2025/08/21/rur… I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “how in the world did Mike Rowe wind up in the digital pages of @FortuneMagazine?” Allow me to explain. I'm an optimist, by default. So, it's awkward to find myself in a room filled with lots of other…

bit.ly/TWIHI447TommyM… The Secret Sauce is the Grind Once upon a time, Tommy Mello started painting garage doors. For $100 each. Today, he’s worth a billion dollars. That's billion, with a "B." To make matters worse, he’s just 43 years old, ridiculously fit, and by all…

Coffee and Jerky in The City of Angels I’m sitting on the tarmac at LAX, where my flight to SFO has been delayed for the last four hours. The mood on board is dark. The snacks ran out a long time ago, dozens of connections have already been missed, and no one will tell us why we…

Seaside Rendezvous A quick congratulations to Angela and Jeff Thornsbury from Wisconsin, who purchased a chance to dine al fresco with yours truly and won. Jeff destroyed his cheeseburger in short order, and Angela made quick work of her enchilada, along with a mojito, or two.…

You might know @yesnicksearcy him from Justified, Fried Green Tomatoes, or maybe 40 other films that he's done. He's a terrific character actor, with a new book called Justify This, which I recommend enthusiastically. Like the author, it’s smart, funny, and honest. Nick and I…

As I’ve said many times this year, the headlines have truly caught up our work ethic scholarship program. Not a day goes by that I don't hear from someone running a large company desperate to find tradespeople. And this year, we received 10X the number of applications as we did…

Last year I issued a press release announcing the details of our latest work ethic scholarship program. In fact, I posted my first draft on this very page and asked you guys to proofread it for me, which you did (Nothing worse than putting an official press release out on the…

forbes.com/sites/timbajar… "Mike Rowe, the "Dirty Jobs" host, captured this shift perfectly at a recent AI summit: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to code. 'Learn to code!’ we said. Yeah, well, AI's coming for the coders. They're not coming for the welders. They're not coming…

"I'm back from The Continent." I've always thought that expression referred to the act of returning to America from Europe, but according to the AI, "The Continent" can refer to any continent at all. In this regard, I think The AI is mistaken, but I can't prove it, and frankly,…

Last Chance! If I were to fly you and a guest to Munich to join me for a long evening of merriment at the oldest beer garden in town, would you agree to dress in lederhosen and help me plow through half a dozen soft pretzels and a few bottomless steins of German lager? If you…

A Detour to Dachau I was going to share some more photos of yesterday’s road trip through the German countryside, along with a few thoughts about my five-hour visit to Dachau, where it’s impossible not to reflect on just how easy it is to hurt so many by doing nothing at all.…

It’s rainy and overcast in Ottobeuren. I’ve just wandered through the Abbey, which is rather breathtaking, and am now searching for coffee in the town square. This thing caught my eye. Anyone know what it is?
