Starkey International on the History Channel with the Sklar Twins!

Mary Starkey and the Sklar twinsAll of us at Starkey are thrilled to share with you that we had the opportunity to play with the well-known comedy team of Randy and Jason Sklar.  Learning Service made fun as we bantered back and forth our service perspective. Our feature, produced by Left/Right TV is part of a special Sklar Twins series and is called “United Stats of America.” It will air on The History Channel in February.  The Sklar Twins are most intelligent and humorous; the show features a Colorado gold mine, the Denver Mint, the Frugal Millionaire, and Starkey International.  It has a witty but serious undertone about learning what service is, and looking at the US and our attachments to money.  They discovered what we already know; Graduates of Starkey are “in the house but not of the house!”   Catch the Sklar Twins by visiting the following link.  http://www.supersklars.com

 

Starkey International will appear on United Stats of America on June 12th for the episode “Money Talks”
