Mining Minds

Mining Minds would like to wish all you wonderful moms out there a very Happy Mother's Day and thank you for all that you do! During this special episode of the podcast we were able to sit down with our mom (Beverly Grover) and talk about, not only her mining journey but her life journey. We walked through what it was like growing up in rural Nevada, her first mining job and where mining has allowed her to travel. We dive into some of her toughest moments in life, how she navigated through them and how she continues to help other along the way. Join us as we hang out with our mom on this Mother's Day special. We Love You Mom!
