If there was ever a moment when those of us who have been blessed with a great life in Canada, a moment when we should use our experiences and networks to find and motivate younger people to participate in public service — now is the time.
This is the message I emphasize in our newest podcast episode featuring John Oakley, which you can find at this link: The Life of a Servant.
I hope you can take the time to listen to this 35-minute episode, and please
let me know your thoughts on how we can improve our messaging and
outreach to get more younger Canadians involved in public service.

Here’s a brief excerpt about the episode, which is hosted on Spotify (and is available on all major podcast platforms):
Welcome to Season 2, Episode 11 of The Life of a Servant. This episode features the uncut interview by John Oakley with Dennis Mills, originally aired on 640am in Toronto, in early December 2024.
John talks about Dennis’ newest memoir, “From the Wood Chair to the Green Chair”, and how a couple of chairs ended up becoming a metaphor for a life in service. And while John dives deep into the details of the book, the book itself becomes a metaphor for servant leadership.
For those people interested in running for public office, this episode (and the book it’s based on) is a call to action. In fact, John Oakley points out that “From the Wood Chair to the Green Chair” can be used as a manual for any aspiring public servant.
