Endeavour Mining PLC (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) vice president of Investor Relations Jack Garman talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's robust first-quarter performance and the outlook for its organic growth pipeline. Garman highlighted that Endeavour Mining delivered approximately 30% of its full-year gold production guidance in Q1 2025 alone, supported by lower-than-expected sustaining costs. This, alongside a buoyant gold price, allowed the company to generate record free cash flow of $409 million, equivalent to around $1,200 per ounce. He confirmed that Endeavour Mining is prioritising free cash flow generation, particularly after completing its recent growth phase. “Our view fundamentally, is (that) the best way to maximise free cash flow generation is by keeping our costs down,” Garman noted. The company also reduced net debt by $354 million in the quarter, bringing leverage down to 0.22x net debt to adjusted EBITDA. Shareholder returns have increased, with $40 million in share buybacks and a $225 million minimum dividend commitment in 2025. Garman provided updates on the Assafou project, calling it a “tier one project” with a defined 4.5 million ounce resource and a projected annual output of 330,000 ounces at below $900/oz sustaining cost for the first ten years. A definitive feasibility study is expected by early 2026, with construction potentially starting in H2 2026 and first production by H2 2028. He added that Endeavour Mining sees no immediate need for mergers or acquisitions, as its pipeline provides enough visibility to grow production by 35% to over 1.5 million ounces annually by decade's end.

Today, we're headed deep off the beaten path to a forgotten island in Indonesia called Sumba. While it's twice as large as Bali and has only 700,000 inhabitants - Sumba has barely any tourism to the island. If it's starting to sound TOO remote, don't worry because we uncovered a luxury gem, or as our guest, James McBride, would call it - geographically opulent. James is the CEO of NIHI Sumba, a gorgeous property on a beautiful swath of beach. But the big draw here is the experiences - from world class surfing, to free diving, to spending special moments with the property's famous horses. James and I talk about the culture of the island which has persisted for thousands of years, the stunning landscape, and how NIHI's philosophy of organic growth has led to this one of a kind experience. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this interesting episode of Luxury Travel Insider. Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn

Host: Welcome to Jr Sparrow's Podcasting Journey, the show where we dive deep into the world of podcasting. I'm your host, Jr Sparrow, and today's episode is all about the evolution of my podcasting journey. [Segment 1: Struggles and Improvements] Host: In the early days, I faced numerous struggles with recording quality. Using platforms like Zoom and the Anchor app, I encountered issues with call drops and poor audio. But I didn't let that deter me. I invested in better microphones and learned about mic positioning to enhance the sound quality of my episodes. [Segment 2: The Editing Process] Host: Editing episodes was a challenge at first, and I admit I released some raw and unedited content. However, I quickly learned about audio plugins, normalization, and auto-leveling techniques to improve the quality of my episodes. I also discovered time-saving techniques like listening to recordings at a faster speed. [Segment 3: Building an Audience] Host: Building an audience and obtaining email addresses became a top priority for me. I implemented various call-to-action strategies to encourage engagement and started using apps like Verbal to collect email addresses. Show notes and media kits became essential tools in promoting my podcast, although some guests were not proactive in providing relevant information. To streamline the process, I started requiring guests to have media kits or one-sheets. [Segment 4: Guest Acquisition] Host: Finding the right guests was crucial for the success of my podcast. I explored platforms like PodMatch, PodcastGuests.com, and Gastio to connect with potential guests within my podcast's niche. I quickly learned the importance of curating guests who align with my target audience to maintain consistent listenership. Series-based episodes, like my popular "Y series" that explores various topics, gained traction and helped retain audience interest. [Segment 5: Content Delivery and Format] Host: I realized the importance of delivering valuable information quickly to my listeners. I adapted my format to shorter episodes, ensuring that the key content was delivered within the first 12 minutes. Thorough research and compelling show notes played a significant role in engaging my audience. I also established a consistent schedule, dedicating specific days for interviews, series-based episodes, and other types of content. [Segment 6: Organic Growth and Future Endeavors] Host: Throughout my journey, I emphasized the value of organic growth and allowing individuals to discover my podcast naturally. While consultants and coaches abound in the podcasting space, I prefer to be sought out by those genuinely interested. Based on my own successes and failures, I recognized the opportunity to create courses in niche areas to help others in their podcasting endeavors. [Closing Thoughts] Host: That wraps up today's episode on the evolution of my podcasting journey. I hope you found value in my experiences and learned some useful tips for your own podcast. As always, thank you for tuning in. Stay tuned for more exciting episodes where we continue to explore the fascinating world of podcasting.

In this episode, we are joined by Rickard Fritjofsson. He's the founder and CEO of a successful multi-brand recruitment company, Worldwiders, that has placed over 5,000 people in 40 countries. Rickard discussed key elements of their company culture, influenced by sports principles, including clear career paths and collaborative goal-setting. As a recruitment business owner, it will also resonate with you how he addressed challenges such as downsizing due to market fluctuations which is a great business case of how being resilient will allow you to turn around unfavorable situations into learnings and advantages. Episode Outline and Highlights [03:48] How Rickard got into recruitment and how his role as the coach of Norway's national Bandy team influences his leadership. [08:11] Why Rickard focuses on international jobs as his niche. [13:34] Growing from 0 to $5m in six years - discussion of Nordic Jobs Worldwide's early days. [21:56] Trigger to decide on when to make the next hire in your recruitment firm. [23:35] Discussion about the business model and the management of portfolios. [26:46] Key success factors when rapidly growing their team. [36:42] Prioritizing career development of team members via progression and support projects. [45:30] Learnings that forced them to downsize and restructure. Targeting International Jobs as a Niche A unique selling proposition of Rickard and his team is their focus on international jobs as a niche. “So I did some research and figured out that no company in the world, even if the recruitment industry is big, is doing the niche of language recruitment of Nordics… So we were the first to step into that niche in 2016. So Norwegian, Swedish Danish, and Finnish were the specialization, and the business developed there. And we decided also to build it organically, like stone by stone.” Being observant of industry needs, Rickard came up with an impactful solution and built their business from there. He shared their three main objectives when launching their recruitment business: build a company organically, scale the business, and be the best in what they do. So far, Rickard and his team are on track to achieving these three main goals since starting their business in 2016. Key Success Factors Contributing to Rapid Growth An astonishing feat that Rickard and his team have accomplished is the rapid sustainable growth of their company since its inception. He grew the company from 0 to $5m in just six years. They have placed over 5000 people in 40 countries and they have 400+ clients worldwide. What would Rickard consider as a success factor contributing to this growth? Here are some takeaways: Core Values-Driven Culture – Embedding Courage, Trust, and Results into daily operations and decision-making. Clear Career Progression – Offering fast internal growth opportunities, and motivating employees to excel. Decisive Expansion Strategy – Rapidly opening offices in Barcelona and Lisbon, executing growth plans with confidence. Market-Aligned Scaling – Capitalizing on post-2022 industry demand to scale efficiently. Performance-Driven Mindset – Fostering a "best in the world" mentality, akin to elite sports teams (due to his background in Bandy) Client Partnership Approach – Positioning as strategic advisors rather than just service providers. Culture of Celebration – Recognizing achievements through company-wide events, awards, and gatherings. Rickard said, “From day one, when we started the business, we also put up core values and they are still active in the company. We also have three keywords: courage, trust, and result. So it's like having the courage to climb Mount Everest and call it taking strategic risks, putting the trust in the people we are hiring, and from that getting the results” Overcoming Challenges - From Scaling to Downsizing Rickard has also been very generous in sharing their resilience mindset when overcoming challenges. The last two years have been challenging: from scaling from 0-90 employees to downsizing to 60 again and cutting costs to meet the market situation is a scenario that Rickard is not used to. However, you will hear in our conversation his resilient recruiter mindset and how getting out of his comfort zone makes him a strong CEO who can turn around unfavorable situations. He was specific in action points that they are doing differently such as implementation of stricter financial controls and a return to foundational recruitment practices, with plans to scale responsibly with improved processes. If you are a recruitment entrepreneur and leader, you will surely be able to relate to what he shared in his experience. Have you navigated a similar scenario as a leader before? Rickard Fritjofsson Bio & Contact Info Rickard Fritjofsson is a Swedish citizen living in Norway for the past 15 years, with an apartment in Málaga, Spain that allows him to enjoy both northern and southern European lifestyles. He is the founder of Worldwiders, a multi-brand recruitment company specializing in Language Recruitment, IT, and Executive Search, serving 400+ clients across 40+ countries. Passionate about the blend of sports and business. Former bandy player, now the national coach for Team Norway, leading them to a World Cup bronze medal.
