Mine to Main Street

From the depths of the earth to the world’s most coveted industries—this is where wealth, power, and sustainability collide.

Think mining is all about dirty trucks, hard hats, and remote locations? Think again.

Mine to Main Street reveals the glamorous, game-changing side of mining that directly impacts your lifestyle, from the cutting-edge tech you can’t live without to the sleek, sustainable products you love. We’re talking about the secret behind your smartphone, the electric car you dream of driving, and the luxury jewelry that catches your eye —it’s a world of glamour, tech, and innovation that’s reshaping the way we live, work, and play.

But….before a luxury watch is admired, before an electric vehicle redefines mobility, before the next wave of innovation transforms industries—raw materials move silently through a complex, high-stakes global network involving mining operations, investment flows, ethical dilemmas, and billion-dollar deals that impact economies, industries, and communities worldwide.

🎙 Hosted by Brooke Bibeault and Ricus Grimbeek, Mine to Main Street uncovers the unseen forces driving the world’s most powerful industries. From the origins of high-value resources to the boardrooms where billion-dollar decisions are made, we explore who controls these materials, how they shape economies, and what the future holds for luxury, innovation, sustainability and investment.

Mine to Main Street is about the industries that shape the world—and the people who have the power to redefine them. It’s a conversation about who holds influence, how wealth is created, and what the future of business, sustainability, and investment will look like.

It’s not just about where things come from. It’s about where we’re going.
