In this episode Bryce and Becky welcome special guest Sam Melden to the show. Sam has served as the Executive Director of Food for Thought, has worked at the Center of Servant Leadership and at Leadership Toledo, and is now serving as City of Toledo District 5 City Council Member.
In this episode we explore things like:
-What happens when a civic leader lacks self-awareness??!!
-Citizen vs Consumer Mindset
'How may I serve? ' vs. 'What's in it for me?'
-How to live in the tension between personal values and trying to consistently represent the community you serve/represent
-A brilliant quote from Parker Palmer's book Healing the Heart of Democracy
-We leave you with a challenge: If you don't engage and show up in the civic space, who will? Decisions are made by those who show up.
