Krystal Ramsden: From Faith to Fractures, a Journey Through Mining, Resilience, and Meaning
Manage episode 512288628 series 2972845
In this episode, I speak with Krystal Ramsden. Krystal was raised in an ultra-religious, homeschooled environment. Her early world was one of strict boundaries, until science, education, and the wider world cracked it open. What followed was a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and a career that has taken her from field camps in the Yukon to the geopolitical battlegrounds of mining finance and fragile states.
Krystal also shares her parallel story of surviving abuse, and transforming trauma into advocacy and other practical initiatives. We explore her expertise in the geopolitics of resources, how inequality, governance, and security converge in the global race for critical minerals.
Recorded on 26 August 2025.
