Summary
On a special Hollywood Godfather podcast episode with hosts Gianni and Jeanie, guest Robert Baldacci discusses launching The Baldacci Group with his 22-year-old son Teddy, affiliated with Keller Williams Portland, focusing on commercial real estate such as multifamily properties and hotels; Teddy’s path from hotel work and doorman duties at The Breakers to notable deals is highlighted. Baldacci recounts his family’s Maine roots and Italian-Lebanese heritage, including the founding of Bangor’s early Italian restaurant The Baltimore/Mama Baldacci’s (established 1933), famous patrons, and family values around food and service. He details the family’s political involvement, noting brother John’s career as congressman and Maine governor and brother Joe’s run for the U.S. House, plus an incident of anti-Italian political ads challenged via the FEC. The conversation also touches on Providence’s Federal Hill, Patriarca-era stories, giving back, and concerns about anonymous social media and AI misuse.
