  Living Your mainelove with Maine's Top Content Creator JoJo Deschenes

  Aug 20, 202625 minS1

  This month on Living Your mainelove, we’re turning the camera around on someone who’s usually behind it: JoJo Deschenes. JoJo has been part of the mainelove story from the beginning, capturing the people, moments, games, and stories that bring our brand to life. But his own story is just as inspiring. JoJo started creating and editing content at an age when most kids were just consuming it. From filming YouTube videos with his brothers to shooting high school sports, he turned a childhood passion for creating into a career—and ultimately chose to bet on himself and build his own path rather than follow the traditional college route. In this episode, we talk about growing up as an “iPad kid,” learning by doing, building a creative career from the ground up, his love of sports, and what he’s learned from spending so much time behind the lens.
