Owner of Hardcore Italians/Entrepreneur/Social Media Marketing

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!?
