On this episode, I catch up with an old friend from Biddeford, Michael Crain. Itās been decades since we hung out at ugly sweater parties, Dave Matthews shows, and St. Louis Field, so we had a lot to cover.
Crain shares his journey from growing up in Biddeford to running Maccoon's, selling burgers & dogs in Biddeford Pool, which eventually led him into the world of advertising. Now 19 years deep at Goodby Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco, heās worked on massive campaigns for Doritos, Nintendo, Truly, Sam Adams, and more rubbing elbows with everyone from Lady Gaga to Big Papi.
We talk about the mentors and town characters who shaped him, the leap of faith that took him West, his creative side projects like Super Much, and how heās building community today with Baldydash.
Itās part reunion, part career deep dive, and a reminder of the impact Biddeford roots can have no matter where life takes you.
