What’s the difference between ownership and accountability, and why does understanding that difference matter in leadership?In this episode of Blackline Field Notes, I share a story from over 20 years ago about a young foreman who made a decision that forever changed the way I looked at leadership and building a company.The reality is, ownership is how we approach the work in front of us, while accountability is how we respond when things go wrong. Understanding both can change not only the organizations we build but also the opportunities we create for ourselves.Lessons Learned Through Experience.

What does it really mean to never give up?In this episode of The Line Podcast by Blackline, Joshua D. Mellott sits down with Gary Evans, CEO and Chairman of U.S. Antimony, to discuss perseverance, leadership, and what it takes to stay in the game when things get difficult.Gary shares his experiences through success and failure, the lessons learned along the way, and why sometimes the greatest opportunities come to those who simply refuse to quit.From the importance of American industry and the skilled trades to the future of manufacturing and critical minerals in the United States, this conversation is about more than business. It’s about endurance, recognizing opportunity, and believing in a brighter future.The future is bright if we’re willing to stay in the game long enough to see it.--------------------------WHERE TO WATCH:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hF...Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...-------------------------FOLLOW JOSH:X: https://x.com/Joshuadmellott... / joshuadmellott LinkedIn: / TikTok: / ucc11qg6hxwp7tmvmr_sv7vg --------------------------FOLLOW BLACKLINE: @blacklineltdInstagram: / blacklinelt. .Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...LinkedIn: / YouTube: / @blacklineltd Website: https://www.blacklineltd.com/--------------------------EXPLORE THE PODCASTSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hF...Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
There’s a big difference between making excuses and giving explanations, and as leaders, understanding that difference matters.In this episode of Blackline Field Notes, we’re talking about the importance of taking responsibility when we’ve missed something, while also recognizing the importance of listening when someone else is explaining what happened.An explanation helps us understand the circumstances. An excuse attempts to remove responsibility. But if we’re not careful, we can become so frustrated with an outcome that we dismiss legitimate explanations as excuses.And when people stop explaining things to us, that’s a dangerous place to be as a leader.Lessons Learned Through Experience.

Being right and doing right aren’t always the same thing.Sometimes we’re so focused on proving a point that we lose sight of what really matters. Whether on the job site, in the boardroom, or at home, knowing the difference can make or break relationships.In this episode of Blackline Field Notes, Joshua D. Mellott shares lessons learned through experience about leadership, relationships, and why doing what’s right matters more than simply being right.Lessons Learned Through Experience.

In this episode of The Line, I sit down with Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, CEO of Contango Silver & Gold, for a conversation about what it really means to mine in Alaska.Rick shares how mining is about far more than extracting resources. It’s about investing in real people and real communities. It’s about building partnerships, creating opportunities, and providing a new way of life while taking care of the land, the people, and the resources along the way.These are the stories that need to be told.These are the organizations and the men and women doing the work, creating opportunities, and making it possible for the rest of us to live the lives we live.This is why we tell these stories at Blackline.--------------------------WHERE TO WATCH:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hF...Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...-------------------------FOLLOW JOSH:X: https://x.com/Joshuadmellott... / joshuadmellott LinkedIn: / TikTok: / ucc11qg6hxwp7tmvmr_sv7vg --------------------------FOLLOW BLACKLINE: @blacklineltdInstagram: / blacklinelt. .Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...LinkedIn: / YouTube: / @blacklineltd Website: https://www.blacklineltd.com/--------------------------EXPLORE THE PODCASTSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hF...Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
