Since launching their Daily Mining News YouTube channel in April 2023, Money of Mine has quickly become one of Australia's top sources for mining news. These guys bring a ton of knowledge and unique perspectives. Matt's an ex-underground miner, while Travis and Jonas come from investment banking and equity research backgrounds.

This Sunday close to 120,000 people worldwide will ride motorcycles dressed sharply, all in support of raising funds and awareness for research into men's mental health and prostate cancer.
The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is a globally acclaimed motorcycle gathering, with its inaugural event in Sydney back in 2012.
Over the years, the event has achieved remarkable success, having raised an impressive $50 million USD from the participation of 340,000 riders across 115 countries.
It was awesome to speak to Mark Hawwa, the visionary and creator of the global event on The Mentor.
Our conversation delved into our shared passion for motorcycles, the inception of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR), reshaping the perception of motorcyclists, the alarming rates of mental health challenges and prostate cancer among men, the strategic business approach driving DGR, Mark's journey in scaling and fostering the expansive community of DGR, and much more.
