How do you say hello in Detroit? Easy: “What up doe?” How do you say growing Michigan’s population? Also easy: “What up Doe?” Justin and Emily welcome Michigan’s first-ever Chief Growth Officer, Hilary Doe, to the podcast today to talk about the Growing Together Council, how to increase Michigan’s population and how Pure Michigan and the hospitality industry overall fits into that discussion. The hosts don’t skimp on the tough questions either: is it Michigander or Michiganian? We need answers! It’s not all growing together on this episode though as a healthy debate breaks out about Celsius and light vs. dark roast coffee. Justin breaks down the updates on saving the tip credit after last week’s Board of Canvassers meeting that rejected the ballot proposal to remove the tip credit as well as the Choice-Wyndham merger and restaurant sales growth last month. Cheers to the pod turning 30 episodes old!
