Kuvaus

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, Dan (and Ric) bring along James and Kenya Hopkins of Acadia Wilderness Lodge to talk about yurts, meeting the parents, and a Hallmark movie called The Valley of Death. Everything Ric knows about the guests he learnt from Dan, and from that he sees the Hopkins as the closest thing to a rom-com in the real world. Little did he expect that it would come with a side of drama! Kenya discusses the iconic yurts at the Wilderness Lodge, and James sheds some light on how they became so modernized. Each yurt has a name rooted in indigenous culture, a connection to nature, and the story of a tooth-and-nail legal battle behind it. It's a complex web of regulations, negotiations, street signs, city halls, and even the Declaration of Independence! We wouldn't dare to tell you any more about it: you'll just have to listen for yourself!

"My life has been a 200-mile-an-hour journey": Ricky Craven of Bar Harbor Bank and Trust Speedway

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, our hosts are brought on the white-knuckle thrill ride of their lives as they interview Ricky Craven, Owner of Bar Harbor Bank and Trust Speedway. Together, they talk about action, life, how to lose, and, more importantly, how to win. Ricky does not feel 60, and he admits he lives life best when it's coming at him fast. He knew he wanted to be a racer even since he was four years old, sitting in the grandstands of Speedway 95. To get where he's been, he's had to call a lot of audibles, make a lot of split-second turns, and tough it out when things took a wrong direction. You lose as much as you win, this Ric and Dan know just as well as Ricky- but what he knows is that you do not have to be defined by your losses: if you can understand what you did wrong, and what you did right, you can come back from any defeat well and truly stronger.

"We've heard it all, seen it all, been through it all": Shari Smith and Robin Brasslett of Modern Image Salon

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, our hosts get the hot salon gossip from Shari Smith and Robin Brasslett of Modern Image. Fighting not to finish each other's sentences, the two share insider secrets on sisterhood, go-to snacks, and the human need to not just look good, but to feel good. Ric got his hair done just for this episode. It looks phenomenal. Sheri and Robin talk about their position as Piscataquis County Business of the Year, and how they were awarded it during their weekly Facebook Live stream. These streams were an invention of COVID, where they would set up livestreams to connect with their clients, because they missed them during lockdown. They explain how their business is built on connections and the strong relationships they have with their clients, over 27 years of business. Ric and Dan try to help write a commercial while Robin talks about Shari, sisterhood, and being bossed around. And soon after, Ric is forced to admit that he and Dan are going to do…. something! You'll just have to listen on to know what! Don't forget to comment and subscribe, and next time you hear someone say "You can't get there from here!" you tell them to listen to the Ric and Dan show!

"I just needed to change the way I was doing it": Larry Barker of Machias Savings Bank

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, the boys are joined by Larry Barker, CEO of Machias Savings Bank, to talk about what it means to work, what it means to lead, and the only thing about yourself you can really change: your ethic. Larry Barker was picked straight out of a blueberry field, because of his work ethic. He found his talents in clam flats, meat rooms, and motel halls, and when Ed Hennessey approached him and extended the offer to work at Machias, he had to go home and look up what a 'mortgage' was. A childhood of financial struggle lit the fire under Larry, and he'd been burning ever since— until one day he had to stop and realize the big picture. Suddenly, he was in charge of the bank. Suddenly, he was in charge of his life... now, could he finally slow down?
