A Dutchman in Maine
by jrobert.bakker
I grew up in Amsterdam. These days, I live in Maine—where the mountains and ocean keep me grounded, and there’s just enough quiet to think things through.This podcast is where I share reflections on the U.S. Constitution, the 12 Steps, life on the hill, and lessons from the water. It’s about how freedom works best when it has structure, and how we all have a part to play in making the world a little better—each in our own way.I'm not here to lecture, just to think out loud. Welcome aboard.
