Mike Lynch grew up in Maine. In the 1980s, so many of his New England friends had moved to San Francisco that he decided to give it a try. More than 30 years later, he owns a business and a home and has a family.

In this episode, Mike talks about the printing jobs he had, which eventually led him to the shop he owns today—Babylon Burning in SoMa.

Sidenote: Mike's shop made the Storied: SF T-shirts, hats, and koozies that we have for sale on our store page. Buy one today to support your favorite San Francisco podcast.

Check back Thursday for Part 2.

We recorded this podcast at 63 Bluxome Street in August 2018.
