In this episode we chat to billionaire mining entrepreneur Ross Beaty, who has founded and successfully developed many companies in his 45-year career, including Equinox Gold and Pan American Silver Corp.
With gold reaching all-time highs, and silver undervalued as we speak, there’s no better time to chat to someone of Ross’s calibre around what he perceives is happening in the industry, and what the future holds for mining in the precious metals space.
He also explains how he has built his wealth, and what it takes to become a mining entrepreneur. A must-hear episode in terms of inspiration.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Luck plays a small role in terms of career prospects in mining. One needs to be in the right place at the right time occasionally. But hard work will always be the spur that gets you to the next milestone.
- Cycles can be predicted to an extent, but no one can truly predict how long they will last, or when they will turn.
- When we are young, we cannot tell where life will take us. The best practice we can employ is to work hard and follow the opportunities.
- Mistakes happen throughout life. We can’t prevent them as no journey ever comes without challenges. The best learn from each mistake and treat them not as failures, but as lessons.
- Decide your path every day. If you put a square peg in a round hole, it won’t work. Embrace the pursuits that make you happy and follow a path that will allow you to encompass those pursuits.
