EP.46 Peter Finn on the Inner Chief Podcast — My Journey Through the Mining Industry, Identifying Core Values and More

You can spend your life coasting on the waves that come your way, or find out what you’re really made of and dig deep to live a life that others will want to emulate.

Each Wednesday, join Peter Finn, managing director of FACE Contracting, as he navigates the ups and downs of the industry with forward-thinking professionals from all walks of life. If you’re involved in the mining industry in anyway — whether you’re a lifer or a high school student looking to make the leap — Full Production is the perfect podcast for you.

This week is a bit of a switch-up, with me speaking as a guest on the Inner Chief Podcast with Greg Layton. It’s a massively popular podcast about success in the business world and how to be a great leader.

Greg gets under my skin as we talked a lot about the mining industry and how I got to where I am today with FACE Contracting.

We also talk about:

  • What it’s like growing up in rural Australia
  • Why the terrible jobs my dad made me do as a kid were invaluable lessons
  • How financial success at 17 years old nearly ruined me, and what I learned from it
  • Leading by example
  • Taking time to learn the hopes and dreams of your employees
  • The difference between real and BS values in your business
  • My disdain for the ‘numbers game’ in mining
  • Being present and finding real connection — a rare phenomenon these days
