Mining Minds

In this energized episode of Mining Minds, we sit down with Adrienne Clinton, a driving force behind the 2025 Mine Safety & Health Conference and a rising leader in mining safety. From her early days in law enforcement to her unexpected path into security, safety, and now industry leadership, Adrienne shares her story full of humor and passion for people. This episode explores the real human challenges inside mining — mental health, generational differences, communication barriers, culture shifts, regulatory frustrations, and the everyday wins that shape safer operations. Adrienne opens up about bombing the interview that actually changed her life, stepping into safety with no prior background, building community partnerships, advocating for new miners, and helping grow a national conference. Please help us welcome Adrienne Clinton to the Face.  Thank you to the Mine Safety & Health Conference for giving us the opportunity to participate in this event.   Event Sponsor: Safety First Tra
