He's a beloved commercial fisherman, author, husband, father, and Downeast Cowboy! Our mainelove CEO, Jen Millard, sat down with Kelly Hinkle for his very first podcast interview.

How did he become the "Downeast Cowboy" with over 200,000 followers? It all happened organically as he started sharing favorite spots in Maine on YouTube.

This month on Living Your mainelove, we’re turning the camera around on someone who’s usually behind it: JoJo Deschenes.

JoJo has been part of the mainelove story from the beginning, capturing the people, moments, games, and stories that bring our brand to life. But his own story is just as inspiring.

JoJo started creating and editing content at an age when most kids were just consuming it. From filming YouTube videos with his brothers to shooting high school sports, he turned a childhood passion for creating into a career—and ultimately chose to bet on himself and build his own path rather than follow the traditional college route.

In this episode, we talk about growing up as an “iPad kid,” learning by doing, building a creative career from the ground up, his love of sports, and what he’s learned from spending so much time behind the lens.

What does it mean to lead with purpose, positivity, and heart?

In this inspiring episode of the Living Your mainelove podcast, host Jeannie Assimos sits down with beloved Maine soccer coach PJ Singh to talk about the journey that shaped him—from growing up in Ghana, where soccer was played with stones in the street, to building a life and coaching career in Maine that has impacted countless young athletes.

PJ shares the lessons he's learned about leadership, resilience, teamwork, and choosing optimism, even when life isn't easy. He opens up about moving to Maine at 18, overcoming homesickness, embracing new cultures, and why the greatest victories aren't individual awards—they're the moments when an entire team succeeds together.
