Now we have a huge need for them with the rapid expansion of data centers and A.I. as well as the rest of our electronics, appliances, computers, automobiles, weaponry and aircraft. But they are also at the mercy of geopolitical and economic forces, and the climate. What do we need to know? Listen to Liv Carroll, a top critical minerals expert for over 20 years who recently served as Managing Director - EMEA Mining Lead and Global Natural Resources Lead for Data & A.I. at Accenture in this illuminating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. Liv has also served on the board of Women in Mining and on the board of the Global Mining Guidelines group for many years. You\u2019ll hear about: \u25cf        How critical minerals are vital to our food supply for this massive population. \u25cf        Where and how critical mineral supplies are at the mercy of geopolitical and economic forces, as well as climate change. \u25cf        The role of critical minerals in "responsible A.I."\u2026.and so much more. \u25cf        Plus, career advice, such as:   \u201cI think it's really important to gather along the way a number of people that you feel it's not just that they wave a flag for you and they're a cheerleader, but you feel that they seriously, they see you, you don't have to explain yourself for what you meant by something that you said to them\u2026the people who really get you, you don't have to elaborate.\u2026 And they are often not in the company you are working in at the moment.  They could in fact be a boss from a previous company\u2026.The other piece of advice I would say is continue adding strings to your bow. And they might not be the strings that you think you would want or need, but as you get into later stages in your career, they're the strings that will stand you apart."
