For many Australian miners, travelling to the coast seems like an insurmountable trek. But for Dan Madre, he went a bit further.
Since the 1980’s, Dan has been working with mining companies in Indonesia. He’s helped instill best practices in the country and has built a massive network of professionals. Dan’s seen volatile political change and learned to handle himself in a country far different from his own.
If you’ve ever thought about working abroad, this episode will be great for you. Dan has plenty of stories about his time out of Australia and they’re sure to inspire you to pack your bags and set out on an adventure.
Dan and I also talk about:
- The challenges of living as an immigrant
- Why global mining markets have so much potential
- How difficult it was for Dan to start work in mining in Indonesia
- Why “it’s all about relationships”
- The intersection of politics and mining
- What led Dan to start his company with nearly zero capital
- How small the mining community can be on a global level
- Why Dan thinks you never forget that you’re a foreigner when living abroad
