Thinking Out Loud, with Scott Miller

I am announcing me candidacy for the up coming municipal elections in October this year. Check out my website at www.scottmiller2026.ca

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.

This week I welcome everybody to 2025 talk a bit about New Year’s resolutions my break from social media and what the heck are we gonna do for vacations?

I think 2024 was an ordinary year, average at best but like any other year end we get to offload the year and start fresh

This episode just deals into what I like to call the silly season the Christmas season and my thoughts on what people go through this time of year and how we often begin our reflection of the year gone by

Crazy day in the world of politics and crazy week in the last seven days so I thought I’d just talk about what I was thinking about after all the different things that I’ve gone on especially today

In this podcast, I talk a bit about the book there’s treasure inside. I recently started reading it. I haven’t finished it, but it’s pretty good.

Finally got another one out. I’m getting better at getting these podcast put together. I’ll be back on track shortly. This week’s podcast is about what I’ve been thinking and updating on where I’m headed.

I am back after 6 busy months and I missed doing the Podcasts. This is just a quick drop to share that I will continuing to Think Out Loud.

I talk about the practice of freezing an individual who has died, with the object of reviving the individual sometime in the future. The word cryonics is derived from the Greek krýos, meaning “icy cold.”

With all the recent talks of carbon tax and higher inflation, I worry that we’re going to have to do better to help those who need the help, in many cases it’s seniors

noun 1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. "they are known to be a person of integrity"

This week I talk more about Alcor and cryogenics.

This week I spent some time back in Toronto working and meeting with a few friends and businesses. I probably haven’t worked for in over 20 years.

This week I’ve had two opportunities to listen to speakers on the topic of artificial intelligence or AI so I’ve been giving that lots of thought

A lot of things have changed in the last 60 years when you look around so sometimes I wonder is it a evolution of society or is it a society revolution?

Every day we make choices some are good some are bad some are just little things, mundane little decisions and some are big ones that affect you and others

This week talk a bit about a new technology. Cryogenics, and the damn photocopy.

This week I give an update on last weeks podcast on the of a political run in municipal politics and out loud about what’s going on around us these days.

My first rant about politics. It’s more thinking out loud about what I should do.

We don’t need a resolution, we just need to be better next year than last year.

Not many people work for the same company their entire career. More and more people change employers and even change careers. I also look back at 2023 and give my thoughts on this year.

This week I talk about how I arrived at doing this amongst many other things with some of my extra time if we have extra time and it boils down to sometimes you think to yourself, what else can I be doing?

This episode, I got to thinking about all the professional and other staff shortages. I had a conversation with some colleagues and some friends so it’s been on my mind.

This is the first 15 minute episode of me just talking out loud

As I call it the cold opening
