Nova Scotia's Don Mills interview with New Brunswick's David Campbell 2022:

Podcast: Don Mills On Building Communities Through Business And Volunteerism - Huddle.Today

Don was raised by a "Catholic Womens' League" mother .. he's OK calling people "freeloaders" who don't participate in life the way he does. Funny.

In this week’s episode of the “Insights” podcast, we turn the microphone around. Don Mills was recently inducted into the Nova Scotia Business Hall of Fame – an honour he received because of a successful business career where he built a firm with more than 600 employees and his extensive volunteerism including stints on the boards of the IWK, Halifax Partnership, Halifax Chamber of Commerce, APEC, among many others.

Don provides insights on how he dealt with adversity, the importance of volunteerism and why he spends much of his time these days promoting a new vision for Atlantic Canada.

You can listen to part one of their conversation in the player above or download the show on your preferred podcast platform.

The “Insights” podcast combines the experiences of an economist, David Campbell, and a social scientist, Don Mills, to explore the challenges and opportunities facing Atlantic Canada, promote data-driven decision-making among policymakers, and encourage a wider dialogue and debate leading to greater prosperity for the region.
