We live in a nation built by entrepreneurs. This week in Our Michigan, Our Future, WWJ talks with some young entrepreneurs of today who are shaping the future of our region.
A fundamental change in the Michigan economy is underway. One side effect of that that change has been massive disruption in the automotive industry -- the industry that has formed the core of the Michigan economy for more than 100 years.
What gave the automotive industry its firm foothold in Detroit was the spirit of innovation, of creativity, and the vision for the future that was found here in the early 1900's. That same spirit of creative innovation and that vision of a better tomorrow remains a key part of the Michigan character.
With "Our Michigan, Our Future", WWJ Newsradio 950 hopes to capture that spirit and understand what it means for a new generation. more.
