    Keith Scott "Turning Struggles Into Laughs"

    Keith Scott’s story is proof that sometimes the best way to deal with life’s hardest moments is to find a reason to laugh. Growing up socially awkward, facing bullying, and overcoming early physical challenges, Keith learned at a young age that humor could be more powerful than throwing a punch. After losing his father at just 10 years old, laughter became a way for his family to navigate grief and keep moving forward. Keith’s journey into comedy started as a way to work through life’s challenges, following a suggestion from his therapist. With encouragement from a mentor and inspiration from Steve Martin’s MasterClass, he began developing his voice and learning the craft of performing. Since 2016, Keith has been putting in the work as a stand-up comedian, performing at different venues and sometimes taking on as many as four sets in a single night. That’s a lot of time on stage, plenty of opportunities to sharpen his craft, and no shortage of chances to turn life into material. But for Keith, comedy is about more than getting a laugh. It’s about taking the hard stuff, finding perspective, and connecting with people through shared experiences. He knows that behind some of our funniest stories are moments that once hurt like hell. Today, he uses humor to remind people that it's okay to talk about what we've been through, that laughter and healing can go hand in hand, and that sometimes our toughest experiences become the stories that bring us together.

    Devin Morrisette Owner Of "Fix A View"

    Devin Morrisette is back on the 207 Collective Podcast almost two years after we first sat down. The last time Devin was on the show, he was working full-time while grinding away building Fix A View on the side. Window cleaning, gutters, solar panels  whatever the customer needed, Devin was willing to get after it. Fast forward two years and he’s taken the leap. Fix A View is now his full-time gig. No shortcut, no overnight success just showing up, doing good work, communicating with people, and building it one customer at a time. And because apparently one business wasn’t enough, Devin has also started Light Your View, specializing in permanent outdoor lighting and taking the headache out of holiday lights  hanging them, maintaining them, and taking them down when the season is over. We talk about what’s changed, what he’s learned, the reality of turning a side hustle into a full-time business, and why Devin believes that if you keep showing up and doing things the right way, eventually people notice.  Send us Fan Mail

    Jake Crosby "102 Miles 4 Businesses & A Life By Design"

    Jake Crosby is a 30-year-old life enthusiast from Maine who started fixing and flipping homes and now runs a real estate portfolio and 4 local companies with family and friends. Just a couple years ago he was overweight and unhealthy and now he runs 100-mile ultra marathons. He failed his first attempt at 88 miles, then came back and finished top 10 at Pineland Farms this past May — 102 miles in 29 hours 33 minutes. For him, running taught him how to settle into life in a way that was different than anything before. He lives in Lebanon, Maine with Heather — his high school sweetheart — and their one-eyed dog Bailey. They love to travel, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with loved ones. He’s starting to document how he lives day to day — real health, real business, real relationships, and real freedom — what he calls Life By Design.  The 207 Collective Podcast is available on all major listening platforms.   Send us Fan Mail

    Mike Magri Owner Of "4 Gen Barber Shop"

    Mike Magri is the owner of 4th Gen Barbershop in Sanford, Maine, but barbering for Mike is much more than a business—it’s a family tradition that goes back four generations. With his roots tracing back to Sicily, Mike carries on a craft that has been passed down through his family, bringing generations of barbering tradition into a modern-day Sanford barbershop. One of the things that makes 4th Gen unique is the people behind the chairs. Mike gives his barbers the freedom to be themselves, develop their own style, and bring their individual personalities and talents to the shop. The result is a crew with a mix of different barbering styles and personalities, giving customers a place where they can find something that fits them. In this episode of The 207 Collective Podcast, we talk with Mike about his family’s Sicilian roots, the history behind 4th Gen Barbershop, his journey as a fourth-generation barber, and what it means to carry on a family tradition while still allowing the next generation to make it their own.  The 207 Collective Podcast is available on all major listening platforms.  Send us Fan Mail

    Steve Davies Owner Of "Jerry's Market" Returns

    Steve Davies is back on The 207 Collective Podcast! Since the last time Steve joined us, a lot has changed at Jerry’s Market in Sanford. We caught up on the growth of the business, including their smoked meats, breakfast and lunch specials, and made-to-order sandwiches. Jerry’s Market has also added an agency liquor store, bringing even more to the local community. But this conversation goes beyond what’s new at the market. Steve and I talked about the things he’s learned since our last conversation—the challenges of running a business, the lessons that come with growth, and what it takes to keep moving forward. It was great having Steve back and getting the chance to hear what’s happening behind the scenes at Jerry’s Market. Send us Fan Mail

    Dennis Boothby "The Ring Finders Of Maine"

    Dennis Boothby is a retired industrial work leader, Thornton Academy Class of 1974 graduate, and dedicated volunteer metal detector specialist from Maine. After studying at the University of Southern Maine and completing a remarkable 26-year career at Nichols Portland, LLC—with an incredible record of perfect attendance—Dennis turned a lifelong hobby into a mission of helping others. As a member of The Ring Finders of Maine, Dennis has recovered and returned more than 250 lost rings over the past three years. Using his own equipment, he searches Maine's beaches and parks, including Ogunquit, Old Orchard Beach, and York's Short Sands Beach, reuniting people with treasured family heirlooms they thought were gone forever. One of his most unforgettable recoveries was an 18K gold chain, jade Buddha pendant, and gold heart pendant that had been buried for an astonishing 18 years before being returned to its owner. An amputee who has experienced the generosity of others firsthand, Dennis sees every recovery as an opportunity to give back. He volunteers his time, asking only for a small transportation fee to help cover gas and tolls. Whether it's finding a lost wedding ring in just 20 seconds or returning a cherished keepsake nearly two decades later, Dennis has transformed a hobby he began in 2001 into a source of hope, joy, and unforgettable reunions across Maine.
