Replay: Hank Aguirre, Businessman and Humanitarian

December 24, 2025

In the spirit of Christmas Day, I thought it appropriate to offer a replay of a podcast from September 28, 2024, that tells the story of a man with a vision to give of himself 365 days a year.

From the original podcast description: “After a 16-year Major League career, Hank Aguirre established a company called Mexican Industries in 1979, with the intent of employing fellow Mexicans and other minorities who lived in an area of Detroit called “Mexicantown.” After several lean years, the company blossomed in to a $150,000,000 business by the time Hank died in 1994.”

Merry Christmas to all of you and thank you, as always, for your interest and support
