In this episode, we sit down with Robert Wessels, a candidate for Governor of Maine, to hear the story behind his journey—from humble beginnings on a farm to stepping into the political arena. Robert shares how growing up with a mindset that he could do anything shaped the direction of his life. Originally pursuing a calling in ministry, he attended college with the goal of becoming a youth pastor. But like many journeys, his path took an unexpected turn.

Through hard work, leadership, and perseverance, he built a career grounded in serving people and leading teams. Now, with a long-standing interest in politics and a desire to make a difference, Robert is taking a bold step—running for Governor of Maine. In this conversation, we talk about his upbringing and mindset, his call to ministry and shift into business, lessons learned from years in retail leadership, what inspired him to pursue politics, and his vision for the future of Maine.
