THIS Is The Perfect Example Of Who My Foundation Supports | mikeroweWORKS Foundation

Get a load of Austin Boedeker. Austin applied for a work ethic scholarship a year ago from my foundation. His references were great, his answers to my many questions were stellar, and his application video was spot on. He also agreed with every single tenet in my SWEAT Pledge and signed it with great enthusiasm. So, I gave Austin some money to pursue a career in modern agriculture and wished him well.

A few months ago, I caught up with Austin while filming in Ohio, not far from where he lives. I asked him to stop by the set to say hello and give us a progress report. He brought his family with him, so I took the opportunity to grill Austin in front of his father, on camera.

Then, I made his mother cry.

I’d be grateful if you shared this video with all the mothers you know. Or better yet, everyone you know who ever had a mother. Doing so may or may not lead to more weeping, but it will definitely encourage more people like Austin to apply for one of our scholarships.

PS. If you haven’t heard, (and even if you have), the skills gap in this country is wide and getting wider. 7.6 million jobs are currently open, most of which do not require a four-year degree. For that reason, mikeroweWORKS offers work ethic scholarships to people like Austin. People who understand the value of a decent attitude and a solid work ethic. People who desire to master a useful skill that doesn’t require a four-year degree. In other words, we’re training the next generation of skilled workers, and we could use your help.
