Season 2, Episode 6

This episode features a conversation with Dennis Mills and John Oakley -- host of The John Oakley Show. Originally aired on AM640 (CFIQ) on July 31, 2023, and originally titled, "Remembering Sarsfest with Dennis Mills."

This episode is the third in our series of interviews that looks back on Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto in 2003, how that event actually came to be, and what we can learn from it.

"That event really was THE template for cooperation and collaboration, of service to the people," Dennis explains. "Everybody came together to tackle the economic fallout associated with SARS in 2003."

"Today, we need a 'war room' to bring our leaders together, to put their resources on the table, and not leave that room until solutions and do-able plans can be executed," Dennis said. The very type of collaboration and cooperation that produced Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto -- against all the odds. Te lessons of Servant Leadership.
