The Pitch and The Catch

Luck Lives Where Others Quit | Dirk meets Benoit La Salle

Listen Later

Timing is rarely the issue. Staying the course is. 

This week on The Pitch & The Catch, host Dirk Horn spoke with Benoit La Salle, President and CEO of Aya Gold & Silver. 

Benoit has spent more than three decades building mining companies across commodity cycles, geopolitical shifts, and moments where decisions had to be made years before results were visible. From academia to West Africa to leading one of the fastest-growing silver companies in Morocco, his career is a case study in long-cycle leadership. 

We talked about: 

  • Why perseverance matters more than timing 
    • How leaders make judgment calls when outcomes are years away 
      • Why most value is created before anyone believes the story 
        • How to lead through sustained uncertainty 
          • What separates leaders who endure from those who give up 

            •  

            In a world obsessed with short-term signals, this conversation is a reminder that the most successful decisions are often made quietly, early, against consensus and with long-term vision.
