As Mainebiz wraps up its award-winning podcast series "The Day That Changed Everything," here's a recap of some notable quotes from 2022.

Van and Sumit Sharma, Rupee Beer

"It was more about the experience in what we were hoping to do. We learned a lot about tasting notes, flavor preferences, and saying that beer was really well paired with this specific style of food from India." (Van Sharma)

"I want Rupee to be the go-to beer at Indian restaurants not just in America, but around the world." (Sumit Sharma)

Both were honored on the Mainebiz 40 under 40 list in 2022.

Katie Krall, Portland Sea Dogs

"If I have any way of being a little bit inspiring or a role model — that's what I want. That would be incredibly rewarding for me."

Andy Shephard, Saddleback Mountain

"This is a community that does not get down easily. And when the mountain shut down, they took a pretty significant hit."

Ryan Eldridge & Chase Morrill, Maine Cabin Masters

"We know it's not going to last forever. We've got a great opportunity and we're just going to have a lot of fun with it." (Chase Morrill)

"The one thing we've lost is privacy. You kind of give that up. I look at it more as how lucky we are." (Ryan Eldridge)

Cherie Scott, Mumbai to Maine

"As entrepreneurs starting out, we tend to overthink everything."

Trevor Maxwell, Man Up To Cancer

"I needed a purpose and I wanted to do something where I could show my kids that I was broken at one point, but that I can get back up, dust myself off, and really do something that is special and that contributes to helping others."
