Ep 49: New Mines, Retiring Leaders, and How Mining Hiring Is Changing
About this podcast
This is where the industry's real talk lives.
No filters, no fluff, just conversations with the people shaping mining from the ground up. Field crew to C-suite, engineers to entrepreneurs—we go beyond job titles to get into what drives change.
Hosted by Lindsey Schultz, each episode cuts through the corporate noise to spotlight the doers, the challengers, and the quietly revolutionary voices rethinking what mining can (and should) be. Because the future of this industry isn't just about resources. It'll be built by the stories we're finally telling out loud.
