| 6/11/26 | ![]() Ep 45: Jump and Build a Plane on the Way Down | 👤Curtis Johnson, President & CEO, Director Scout Discoveries Corp.🎙️Lindsey Schultz, CEO of MRC Recruiting Curtis Johnson explains why he built Scout around one hard truth: discoveries come from getting the geology right and drilling more holes than everyone else. It is a conversation about grit, speed, culture, and what it really takes to build an exploration company from nothing. Lindsey sits down with Curtis Johnson of Scout Discoveries to talk about how he went from an average student to an exploration geologist, and eventually to a founder. They get into why traditional junior exploration models felt too slow, how Scout was built around first principles, vertical integration, and fast learning, and why culture matters as much as geology. Curtis shares what he has learned through risk, uncertainty, and building while under pressure. This episode leaves you thinking about ambition, how real discoveries get made, and why creating something new usually means committing before you feel ready. **Our Promise** We spend time with people who are actually doing the work in mining, engineers, operators, leaders, and problem-solvers. These conversations are about how decisions get made, what's changing, and what people are learning in real time. The goal is simple, share ideas that stick, and help move the industry forward in a way that lasts. **Stay Connected** ➤ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/mrcrecruiting/ ➤ Website https://mrcrecruiting.com/ ➤ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MRCRecruiting ➤ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/MRCRecruiting | — | ||||||
| 5/28/26 | ![]() Ep. 44 Why Mining Struggles to Attract Talent (And What We're Missing) | 👤Daniel Rau, Founder of KUNIN Technologies 🎙️Lindsey Schultz, CEO of MRC Recruiting Daniel Rau didn't plan on mining; he backed into it by asking hard economic questions. That instinct led him from lithium to building Kunin, a startup trying to help mines recover more metal from what they already process. Daniel explains how a chemical engineering path through hydrogen, oil, gas, and lithium turned into a sharp view of a bigger mining problem: too many useful metals are still uneconomic to recover. He shares why Kunin is focused on making ion exchange systems cheaper and smaller, and why that could unlock byproduct recovery from existing operations, tailings, and side streams. The conversation also gets into what he has learned as a first-time founder, how hard it is to build in mining, and why the industry still struggles to attract talent even as the need grows. You leave thinking about cost, urgency, and how much value may already be sitting inside assets we know well. **Our Promise** We spend time with people who are actually doing the work in mining, engineers, operators, leaders, and problem-solvers. These conversations are about how decisions get made, what's changing, and what people are learning in real time. The goal is simple … share ideas that stick, and help move the industry forward in a way that lasts. **Stay Connected** ➤ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/mrcrecruiting/ ➤ Website https://mrcrecruiting.com/ ➤ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MRCRecruiting ➤ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/MRCRecruiting | — | ||||||
