Thinking Out Loud, with Scott Miller

With one week left in Renfrew's municipal election, Scott reflects on the final stretch of the campaign: a tight race among ten council candidates, why he won't handicap the mayor's race, and what he's heard from residents — hold the tax line, fix the infrastructure, pay down the debt, and attract the people and businesses that grow the tax base. He looks back at how Renfrew once drew employers li...

On October 6, Renfrew's candidates faced the voters' questions at All Candidates Night, on taxes, attainable housing, growth, and the town's future. I recap the night: what was asked, how I answered on housing and the Dragonfly development, and what's at stake as online voting opens October 13.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud , council candidate Scott Miller reflects on the latest buzz from the campaign trail in Renfrew—from fact-checking on social media to whether tackling the town’s challenges is truly a "Mission: Impossible."

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud , Scott shares updates from the campaign trail as the race for Renfrew Town Council heats up.

This week I had the opportunity to see the movie Hidden: The Kati Preston Story (2025)

This week we are back and the war in the middle east contniues to captivate all the media attention and sadly our best defence Chuck Norris passed away today.

It has been a while since I fired up the laptop and did a podcast so I finally got back on here

In this weeks episode I think about the question who was my best teacher and the answer was easy. Life, life has taught me more than school ever did. I am grateful for many of my teacher who gave me the foundation and skills to lean from life.

My challenge to you this week: Stop waiting for a leader to save the day. Look in the mirror. In your family, in your business, in your community—be the calm in the chaos. Be the person who takes responsibility when everyone else is making excuses. That is leadership.

This week my podcast comes out on Remembrance Day and I want to acknowledge those who served our country. Also this week I have been thinking about the free speech we have been given by those who fought for us and how we sometimes miss use it

I am back from a trip to Chicago and I have to say there were no issues and the people of the USA still love their Canadian neighbours.

Next week I am travelling to Chicago for an international conference and trade expo. This year a lot of my colleagues from Canada have decided not to go. I have been thinking about the current state of affairs and why I feel it is important for me to go.

This week I talk about me. I have had several of the followers ask me about who I am or to talk a bit about myself. So here it is, I hope you make it to the end. Growing up in Renfrew and my career is not the most fascinating topic but more than 10 people asked me so blame them....LOL

In this epsiode I cheer on the Canada's Baseball Team the Toronto Blue Jays and I feel the sense of Canadian Pride and think we need to have that same pride when we buy anything. Make mine Canadian please !!!

With all the tension and wild out bursts we as a humans need to be more respectful and tolerant of each others opinions. As well this week I have notice that the future is looking bright.

After a 7 month hiatus I am back with my podcast. This week my thoughts are on what is happening south of the border and what is happening right here in my own home town. I am thrilled to be back with another series of episodes.

It was an interesting couple of weeks. We faced a few challenges, some in the world some because of weather.

As we enter the week of the tariffs, we see that there’s already been a quick change relief for 30 days, which will probably turn into some negotiation where tariffs never get applied.

Being a leader is not easy being a good leader is even harder. History will decide who the good leaders were, but for now there are certain qualities that make a genuine, good leader.

After this week’s inauguration and the media spinning all the talk of tariffs on Canadian exports I have been thinking we are a great country.

After a two week break from social media that I thought would free up my time I have learned the power of social media and I just don’t manage my time well.
