“A lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of motivation, getting up early in the morning, going to bed late at night, picking up the phone, not waiting for it to ring” – according to Ross Beaty, these are the ingredients that make a successful entrepreneur. In this conversation with his longtime friend Rick Rule, the president and CEO of Rule Investment Media, the chairman of Equinox Gold and the chairman emeritus of Pan American Silver recounts his journey from a young adult passionate about geology to founding some of his country’s most successful resource companies to recognition as a Member of the Order of Canada. Beaty paints a rich picture, including successes and failures, detailing lessons he’s learned as an entrepreneur and an investor in the mining industry. Now president of the Sitka Foundation, Beaty’s philanthropic work is focused on protecting the environment. Recorded on July 5, 2022. Want to learn more about natural resource investing?
