My conversation with @ti_morse about mining in America, Durin, and building a hardware company.

Durin is rapidly scaling and hiring engineers.

The value of drilling

[Ted Feldmann @tfeldmann]

Earth or space mining?

@MattGialich and I discuss.

Give it a listen! Thanks @matvogels for having me on.

@tfeldmann will be at Mineral-X this week. Come chat about the future of drilling in mineral exploration.

I’ve been lucky to work with some of the best companies pushing the edge of American manufacturing at places that value persistence, innovation, and the pride of building real things.

I’m excited to join the team at Durin as Head of Talent, where we’re growing the team while building the future of mining. In less than 6 months, the team has went from prototype to in the field drilling holes.

We're now looking for more to help surface earth's abundance. Whatever you’re working on, driverless cars, limitless energy, space colonization, AGI, robotics, it all starts (and ends) with the same thing: minerals.

If we can’t dig them up, none of it gets built. We’re hiring across engineering, drilling, and operations.

It's Time to Mine.

Never bet against a man focused on doing the impossible.

@tfeldmann explains to me why critical minerals are a national security issue and what he is doing to make sure America is a big winner 🇺🇸

[Ted Feldmann @tfeldmann]

Great time on the Tool, Or Die pod — always love talking mining and Lord of the Rings!

Give it a listen
