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