MI PEOPLE
MI PEOPLE is a laid-back podcast about the people doing cool things in Michigan—from business owners and Artists to local characters you just need to meet. Hosted by Mike Lamentola of Michigan Media House, it’s part conversation, part inspiration, and never boring. No forced hustle talk. No awkward small talk. Just real chats with real people doing real things around here.
