🔹 Why the who not how principle matters more than ever in mining, especially when mistakes can cost six figures
🔹 Powerfully understated truths about local impact: how a 3MW site can transform a small town’s economy and energy infrastructure
🔹 Evaluating mining opportunities through personal mission, profit potential, and community value
🔹 What makes a great mining operator? Curiosity, humility, willingness to be coached, and learning to let go of perfectionism
🔹 The future of the industry: water treatment, immersion cooling, live grid integration, and professionalism across the stack
🔹 Brad’s framework for building a mine: plan, construct, launch, colocate, optimize, and scale
