Ernest Scheyder: The War Below (Lithium, Copper, and Critical Minerals)

I'm excited to share my conversation with Ernset Scheyder. Ernest is a writer for Reuters and recently authored the book "The War Below: Lithium, Copper, And The Global Battle To Power Our Lives." I just got my copy in the mail and can't wait to read it. During the podcast, I spend an hour dissecting Ernest's writing habits/strategies, early background as a journalist, and what led him to writing this book. From there, we explore the world of critical minerals from a human perspective and get insights that didn't make it into the book, but were just as interesting. If you enjoyed this podcast then you should buy the book (link here). I don't get paid for it. I just think Ernest is doing great work that should be appreciated and the topic is very important to me.
