Its not everyday we get to have a beer with a former premier at the kitchen table in his home town! Stephen McNeil tells us about ups and downs of his time as Premier, insights into the challenges of leadership and the importance of listening. He discusses his commitment to community, the impact of social media, and the lessons learned during his time in office, particularly amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We recap some of the challenging issues he faced such as the film tax credit and teachers union and we learned that he is a huge craft beer fan.
This show started from the love of craft beer so we would like to thank Sober Carpenter for helping us with some non alcohol craft beers through Dry January. Also big thanks to Great Roads Brewing for the Red IPA (Liberal, red... get it?) McNeil also was proud to have some great microbreweries around him such as Annapolis Brewing Company, Lunns Mill and the Premier enjoyed his Dry January Beer out of a 'Stay the Blazes Home,' Beer Glass made by Garrison Brewing.
