Absolute B.S. with Brad and Steve

We like clothes...and we like Michigan. On this episode on Absolute B.S., we explore what it means to love both as we talk to Scott Zubrickas, the co-owner of The Mitten State, West Michigan’s premiere spot for uniquely Michigan-branded clothing and the ‘best apparel in the country.’
Join us as we take a deeper dive into a story of Michigan; and a story of how two friends created one of the most recognized Midwest operations, which now, reaches all the way across the country. It’s all the typical B.S. but this time-with a little something special.
