UnMeasured

Measured has been doing the rounds again, this time featuring a ‘Round Table’ meeting with several industry experts. 

In this special episode of (Un)Measured, René sits down with Mark Hall, Jon Hronsky, Dave Lawie, Jacqui Coombes, and R. Mohan ("Mo") Srivastava to discuss their backgrounds and how and why they progressed in their respective fields. Join them as they discuss accidental careers, the highs and lows of business travel, good versus bad exploration, the impact of AI, impostor syndrome, and the need for good storytelling in geostatistics.

Measured is RSC’s podcast series, with RSC Managing Director and Principal Consultant René Sterk conversing with a range of industry personalities. Expect a range of talking points, many with a technical theme, but also some of our industry friends sharing anecdotes about their career in the mineral exploration and mining sector and thoughts on some of the issues the industry faces.
