Ep 38: Mining Made Human From Voice-Driven Safety to Tailings Revival

Season 2 · Episode 38

Thursday, March 5, 2026 • Duration 51:24

👤Jack Kellner, Senior Director of regeneration & Co-Founder of CanaryWaves
🎙️Lindsey Schultz, CEO of MRC Recruiting

From memes to mine sites, Jack Kellner shows how humor, human voice, and smart tech can transform safety, tailings, and talent in mining. This episode spotlights solutions that start small, scale smart, and put people first.

Episode summary:

Lindsey talks with Jack Kellner of Canary Waves and Regeneration about humanizing mining, smarter safety, and community driven closure. Jack shares the origin of Canary Waves, a voice AI platform that captures radio chatter to add context to KPIs, surface repeat issues, and move sites from reactive to predictive. He unpacks Regeneration's stakeholder first approach to tailings reprocessing, pairing restoration with modular, capital light execution, and creative offtake models. They riff on gamifying mining to build the future talent pipeline, challenge the reflex of de risking as a kill switch, and make the case for starting small, communicating clearly, and keeping it fun, with real value for operators, innovators, and leaders.

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.

Thursday, September 18, 2025 • Duration 01:00:33

👤 Dr. Haydon Mort, Founder of Geologize
🎙️ Lindsey Schultz, CEO of MRC Recruiting

In this live Spokane episode, Lindsay and Dr. Hayden Mort dismantle hiring myths, arguing mining suffers more from narrow school targeting and poor "soft" skills than a lack of talent.

They explore cognitive diversity and non‑traditional pathways, the dangers and promise of AI in recruiting, and why reputation drives valuation.
