Full Production with Peter Finn Peter Finn

FIFOZero grew from Blake’s own experiences in the mining industry and the challenges that he experienced – including the suicide of a workmate. We dive into how his program makes mental health issues accessible and open for miners.

We change things up by interviewing the Managing Director of FACE, Peter Finn, instead of the other way around. We delve deeper into Peter’s upbringing and how that impacts his approach to the mining industry these days, how FACE Contracting began, the generational gaps that arise in mining, work ethic and the effort required to succeed, and plenty more.

Peter Finn sits down with the Operations Director of Esan Mining, Mal Mewett. Mal talks about lessons learnt from experience as an entry-level operator almost 40 years ago, through to a high-level managerial role overseas.

What is the value of mateship and social connection, especially in mining communities? In this episode we welcome new Full Production host, Keepa Mewett as he has a yarn to Full Production veteran, Sam Parker. 

What’s the value in having the right people on your team? In this episode, we take a deep dive with our Operations Support Manager Keepa Mewett on his recipe for building great teams. 

When we’re under pressure, we don’t rise to the occasion. We sink to the level of our training.
We continue our chat with former miner and Melbourne Storm player Peter Robinson.
Today we dive deeper into the way The Storm builds mental resilience in order to create consistency in performance. We also spoke on how the mining industry shaped Peter’s perspective, and how important relationships are with team members - past and present.
Each Wednesday, join me, Peter Finn, managing director of FACE Contracting, as I navigate the ups and downs of the mining industry with forward-thinking professionals from all walks of life. If you’re involved in the mining industry in any way – whether you’re a lifer or a high-school student looking to make the leap – Full Production is the podcast for you.
