Lukas Lundin, head of the Lundin Group, has grown his group of resource companies into a combined market cap of over $20 billion dollars. Although Lukas has created billions in value for shareholders, his perspectives and advice are applicable to anyone in business. We talk about a number of subjects from how Lukas approaches government relationships, building partnerships, succession planning within his businesses and we even get into his personal life. For someone of his caliber, who keeps a relatively private personal profile, I’m honored that he opened up to share his perspectives with us.A key take away from this interview is that building big is weaved into the DNA of the Lundin Group and that their success is built on an eternal optimism. That said, we also talked about his biggest mistakes and what he learned from them.Check out some of our most popular episodes:Chicken S#!it CEOs w.
