Mike Rowe talks with Steven Pressfield, the two-time New York Times Bestselling author of The War of Art, Gates of Fire, and The Legend of Bagger Vance, discusses how to listen to your muse while ignoring your Resistance, why he carries a Smith Corona typewriter but doesn’t actually use it, and what he learned from driving a truck, picking fruit, and writing advertising copy. His newest book is a memoir titled Govt Cheese. #muse #stevenpressfield #mikeroweworks #thewayiheardit Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@therealmikerowe/videos If you like me, and even if you don't, follow me.

Hey Mike! You just took a picture with my mom in NY. Just wanted to say thank you for being so nice to my mom and letting her explain how I’ve been a huge fan and how I got to see your speech at the 2010 Boy Scout jamboree. Hopefully one day our paths will cross and I’ll get to shake your hand!

I may hear a phrase numerous times through out my life but it only made sense when I was ready to hear it.

Can't help myself, the government cheese thing got me. It goes back to prohibition. Ice cream replaced alcohol as the social consumable, demand for milk went through the roof, and the dairy industry was born. After prohibition there was a huge surplus of milk, which the government decided to buy rather than letting the industry collapse. Farmers began to produce more milk since they were being paid by the government, which had more milk than they needed. Since they couldn't store milk long term they turned it all into cheese, and now we have 1.5 BILLION pounds of the stuff in cold storage across the country.

Gaze into the night sky, the universe is binary, there is infinitely more darkness than light. Be the light in your universe. Thank you, Mike Rowe, for the sunrise in so many hearts.

They were about the size of a Velveeta, and sometimes called commodities.

I was a little girl when we got that block of cheese, I thought it was a perk from the government 😮

My Mom's "adopted" Mom got cheese when I was a kid. She lived in subsidized senior housing and most of the people there got cheese. There was more cheese than they could ever eat. They would share the cheese between them so it wouldn't go to waste. We were the beneficiary of cheese a number of times. It was basically the poor man's Velveeta. No-frills packaging. Lasted forever!
