🎧 About This Session:

In this episode, host Lindsey Schultz chats with Joel Giffen, founder of Giffen Consulting and a 2024 Top 40 Under 40 honoree. Joel shares how his people-first mindset helped him grow a boutique consultancy into one of Canada’s fastest-growing engineering firms. From building team culture and navigating the growing pains of scaling, to rethinking how mining companies can better attract talent, Joel gets candid about the evolving identity of leadership in the industry. The duo also dive into practical tools like the “6 Working Geniuses” and the power of authenticity in recruiting. Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or just passionate about mining’s future—this one’s for you.

Our Promise: We aim to engage with the most creative minds in mining—from engineers and executives to environmentalists and geologists—to explore groundbreaking projects and pioneering innovations. Our discussions are designed not only to inform but to inspire action and empower our listeners to lead and innovate.
