🎙️ Carly Leonida, Founder of The Intelligent Miner

In this episode of Ore-atory: Elevating Mining Minds, Lindsey Schultz sits down with renowned mining writer and editor Carly Leonida, founder of The Intelligent Miner. With over 15 years of experience in mining media, Carly shares why true industry transformation begins with effective communication—especially with those outside the mining echo chamber. From amplifying Indigenous and Gen Z voices to exploring how gaming can transform training, this episode challenges professionals to listen more deeply, tell better stories, and engage in uncomfortable conversations. Discover why everyone is a stakeholder in mining—and how that reality should shape our future narratives.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Everyone is a mining stakeholder—whether they realize it or not.

✅ Gen Z isn’t disengaged—they’re uninspired by how mining tells its story.

✅ Vulnerability and plain-language storytelling are game-changers for trust and influence.

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.
