Pioneer Mind podcast focuses on the thinking that occurs in pioneer's past and present that leave what they know and trust to pursue the unknown knowing the risks and but not the outcomes. Pioneer minds are not gamblers but innovators and creators leaving the life that leave them feeling stuck to experience the newness of ground and territory not yet explored.
The podcast will be interviewing leaders in billion-dollar industries like the oilfield, mining to the small shop fabrication and master knife maker, or three generation farmers filled with heritage and legacy navigating an uncertain future.
The pioneer spirit in the USA needs to rise and be restored for this generation of young people wondering how they fit now and into the future with the rise of AI, corporate ownership of everything, politics and leadership devoid of character, and the dehumanization of the culture that values power, money, and control over all else.
We need pioneer minds to rise in this modern age of technology looking backward at history as we plow forward into an unknow future.
