Shortly after I met my business partner, Mary Sullivan, (she with the Farrah Fawcett hair), I was introduced to one of her many successful clients – a writer/director named Karey Kirkpatrick. Among Karey’s many writing credits are hit movies like James and the Giant Peach,

Great chat with Karey Kirkpatrick about the business of writing and directing movies.

'Mike - Were you serious about making a movie in time for Independence Day? Something in response to all the anti-American sentiment in the headlines? I sure hope so. The country needs to see something hopeful. But if you’re shooting for July 4th, you’d better hurry…Larry

Is it just me, or is there a Great White shark flying through the sky, about to descend upon a bunny rabbit?

Rich Lowry is right – these protests are an advertisement for Anti-Americanism, as blatant as they are vile. It’s one thing for American citizens to demand action on any number of issues impacting the world today. In fact, doing so is a good thing, and a constitutional right. But

This morning in Nashville, I was honored to be Peggy Rowe’s +1, at an event sponsored by an organization called Fifty-Forward. I’d been in DC over the weekend, filming a movie for Independence Day, (more on that later), when I learned my mother would be flying today in the same

Moments after Ben Sasse walked off the Senate floor, my business partner asked him if things were busy at the Capitol. He quickly replied, with a rueful smile, “always busy, rarely effective.”

It’s a phrase that stuck with me, and probably a big part of why Ben left a career in

If we want to change the perception among so many well-intended parents that a four-year degree is the best path for the most people, we need to show kids that a skilled trade is a thing to aspire to. If you're me, that means getting animated from time to time, and bursting into

A Knobel Cause.
It’s not that complicated. A shot of Knobel, some Pratts ginger syrup, and a dash of lemon juice. Garnish appropriately. If you don’t want to take chances, ask Donovan to make it for you. You’ll find him at The Bygone, in Baltimore city. For best results, enjoy

“Mike – I could listen to you and Chuck talk for hours. The current podcast about ______ ______, (I don’t want to spoil the reveal) is a masterclass in free-association, misdirection, humor, and suspense. It’s also delightfully inappropriate. I don’t know how many people listen

Ep 381: The Face of an Angel starts with a brief mystery for the curious mind with a short attention span, followed by two dudes talking. Let me know what you think.

For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews – today’s headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting
