 Episode 52 – A Slice of Humanity: Mike Ilitch's Legacy vs. Starbucks Policy

Welcome to The Mark Peterson Show, where we explore the stories shaping our society and the values they reflect. In our last episode, we tackled Starbucks’s controversial decision to reverse its open-door policy. Now, customers must make a purchase to sit or use the facilities—a move that sparked a heated debate among listeners, with many defending the company’s position.

Today, we’re shifting gears to highlight a profoundly different story. At a Little Caesars in North Dakota, a compassionate manager offered free pizza and water to a homeless man caught eating from the store’s dumpster. But was this a random act of kindness or a reflection of the company’s deeply rooted culture of care? After all, Little Caesars' late founder, Mike Ilitch, quietly paid Rosa Parks’s rent for nearly a decade—a testament to his extraordinary humanity and generosity.

This episode explores the stark contrast between these two corporate narratives, asking a critical question: Can companies show compassion and still remain profitable? Somewhere along the way, it seems we’ve lost sight of this essential balance. Stay tuned for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges how we view corporate responsibility, kindness, and profit."

Listen to this episode and hear my advice to Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol.
