Stepping up because your community needs you and because there's so much opportunity to make a difference are at the heart of this week's discussion. You can find my full conversation with Oliver Jenkins here.
Here are the questions I asked:
0:25 1. One of the themes I want to explore with you today is how to get more people like Oliver Jenkins in our community.
To highlight but a few things about your life and career so far - you received your BA from Dartmouth, flew 150 combat missions over a 20 year career as a Marine, served two terms on the Shreveport City Council, and are currently the Board Chairman of the Shreveport Airport Authority and the President of Phillips Energy.
You once said, “We need people to step up across the spectrum, in my opinion to serve, whether it's in the military or their community.”
Who taught you this sense of service or where do you think you learned this trait that has been such a key part of who you are?
3:18 2. Let’s talk 9/11. Tell me where you were on 9/11 and where you spent the next few days and months.
9:34 3. As I mentioned earlier, you served two terms on the Shreveport City Council, from 2010-2018. Talk to me a little about your legacy. What do you count among your greatest achievements while on the Council and maybe a few of your main regrets?
18:14 4. You have two kids. What would have to change, if anything, for you to want them to come back and be important members of this community like you and your wife, Anne, have been?
20:34 5. Lastly, as you look out at the community, what are some of the things that make you feel that we might be headed in the right direction?
