In this episode, Alex Steed, managing partner at Knack Factory and blogger with the BDN, talks about growing up, life in Maine, and political and cultural forces at work throughout the state.  Covering a significant amount of ground in an honest and transparent way, Alex shares his backstory of moving to Portland while he was still in high school, some of the lessons he has learned over time, and his cultural and literary influences.
