00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:03.840
<v ->I love people.</v>

2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:06.000
I genuinely love hearing their stories,

3
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.970
and I feel fortunate
that I have a platform

4
00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:10.020
to be able to tell them.

5
00:00:10.020 --> 00:00:14.040
I meet so many interesting
people from all walks of life

6
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.430
and every day is something new.

7
00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:19.830
M Erino Valley, founder
of Main Life Media,

8
00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:21.300
a boutique production company,

9
00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.690
focusing on lifestyle TV
shows and brand content,

10
00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:26.670
and we are here in Portland, Maine.

11
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.190
Starting out was exciting
and very difficult.

12
00:00:32.190 --> 00:00:35.010
My co-anchor, she was wearing
a shirt, she was a new mom,

13
00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:36.090
and it said Mom life.

14
00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:37.680
And I looked over and said,

15
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:39.690
what if we had a show called Maine Life?

16
00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:41.850
And it was telling the positive stories

17
00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:43.170
about people in Maine.

18
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:45.240
And then literally from
there I googled how

19
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.670
to start your own TV show,
made a lot of phone calls,

20
00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:48.720
and I got turned down.

21
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:53.700
But you know, I think a true
entrepreneur really, you know,

22
00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:55.770
picks themselves back
up and keeps on going.

23
00:00:57.690 --> 00:00:59.880
Maine is so cool.

24
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:04.080
It is still undiscovered
and it's raw and rich

25
00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:06.450
and so much natural history.

26
00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:08.910
And people who live

27
00:01:08.910 --> 00:01:11.370
and work here are a
certain type of person.

28
00:01:11.370 --> 00:01:13.320
It is a rough and tumble place

29
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:17.370
and we get wonderful tourists,
millions of people a year

30
00:01:17.370 --> 00:01:20.610
who flock to our state to
experience a little flavor

31
00:01:20.610 --> 00:01:21.990
and taste of what we have.

32
00:01:21.990 --> 00:01:25.980
But it is truly a blessing to live here.

33
00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:27.030
The air is fresh

34
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:30.630
and every time you think you
saw the most beautiful thing,

35
00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:33.840
whether you're on your boat or
on land, you turn the corner

36
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.450
and boom, there's something
more magical to see.
