A podcast created to capture the stories of the people who make up the global mining and related industries. Your host, Sean Lavin is passionate about the people who have (and continue to) shape the world in which we live via their contribution to the mining industry. Once an open-cut heavy machinery operator and site safety and health representative, Sean now dedicates his time to developing and enhancing the potential of those who live and breathe mining. Jump into the cab, buckle your seatbelt and join us on a perspective shifting journey as we dive deep into the interesting, humorous, ridiculous, confronting and at times, tragic stories of the people who make up the global mining industry. There's plenty of gold to uncover as we dig Beneath the Surface.
