The old adage, “follow your dreams” is something that we have all heard but rarely do we ever hear about someone who actually arrived at their desired destination. Too many times, people get derailed in their pursuit due to seemingly insurmountable obstacles, unforeseen detours, or an eventual lack of interest.  That's why it is always so heartwarming to hear about that individual who actually made their dreams come true.Take Texas-based steel industry executive Chris Whittington for example. As the owner and founder of a Houston-based steel company, Whittington has forged a highly respectable career in providing industrial grade metals to a region known for energy, aerospace, and manufacturing. But he had a passion beyond the industry he has so dutifully served for more than three decades. Music.Running parallel to his business pursuits, Whittington has served as a worship leader in local churches for many years, creating a natural venue for him to write and perform his own music. Over the last decade, he has released three solo albums including his latest, Bright Portal Remastered 2025 which is an updated version of his debut which was originally released in 2015.Whittington joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about the powerful influence that music has had on his spiritual life. Listen as he shares what God has taught him about the value of patience in balancing a successful career in business with a burgeoning passion writing, recording, and releasing music.

Send us a textPrime Minister Mark Carney announced new measures this week to help support Canada's struggling steel industry, which has been battered in recent months by Donald Trump's trade war.The changes include restricting and reducing the amount of foreign steel imports — especially from China, which is notorious for illegally flooding the Canadian market with cheap steel — and prioritizing made-in-Canada steel for major domestic projects.Although welcome news, the industry is still bracing for the next big announcement: whether President Trump will lower the current tariff on steel imported to the United States. As of today, it remains at 50 per cent.Michael Garcia is the CEO of Algoma Steel, Canada's only independent primary steel producer. He joins us on tonight's ‘Closer Look' podcast to talk about his reaction to the federal government's plan — and whether it's enough to keep the domestic steel industry afloat.New episodes of ‘Closer Look' drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. across the Village Media network.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm giving my take (to the best of my ability—because I'm not a tariff expert and neither are most of the people chiming in right now) on Trump's gutsy new tariff move. It's the one that's got half the country cheering and the other half clutching their pearls. While the media yells “economic suicide,” I'm here to suggest that this strategy might actually work—but not overnight. We'll talk about the possibility of long-term gain, the reality of short-term discomfort, and the cultural obsession with instant results when what's often required is patience. I will also go over our collective short attention spans and why longer attention spans are needed for understanding complex issues like this. Every answer won't fit in a 15 second soundbite. At the end of the day, we'll have to pray, wait, and see. Some of the smartest plays take time to unfold.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzJSJ_mi5cJo8dO2FNUs7uNy-&gclid=CjwKCAjwktO_BhBrEiwAV70jXtjSCyioSM2Hz1McTAlR3f8t3KCDDN3-XBWLaIzwJmiEGe0ztxIk5RoCnM0QAvD_BwE

Summary This Develop This! episode delves into the complexities of tariffs and their impact on the can manufacturing industry in the United States. Dennis Fraise hosts Rick Huether, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Independent Can Company, and Robert Budway, President of the Can Manufacturers Institute, to discuss the historical context of tariffs, the current state of the industry, and the challenges faced by manufacturers. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding how tariffs affect not only businesses but also consumers and the potential for reshoring manufacturing in the U.S. amidst ongoing economic challenges.   Takeaways Tariffs significantly impact the cost structure of can manufacturing. The can industry is a vital yet often overlooked part of the food supply chain. Economic developers play a crucial role in advocating for the can manufacturing sector. The current tariff regime is complex and constantly changing. Manufacturers are facing unprecedented challenges due to tariffs and material sourcing issues. Sustainability and recycling are key advantages for the can industry. The consumer will ultimately bear the cost of increased tariffs. Investment in domestic manufacturing capacity is essential for future stability. Collaboration between manufacturers and policymakers is necessary to address tariff impacts.

Steel has many uses - including in the construction of buildings, bridges; cars; and so on… The Steel Industry is part of the Manufacturing Sector AND it CONTRIBUTES about 1.5% to our GDP. The Steel industry is the heart of the economy in Newcastle, KZN. One of the biggest steel producers in South Africa is called ArcelorMittal. And it’s decided to CLOSE DOWN the Steel Business in Newcastle and Vereeniging it’s called the Longs Steel Business. They had announced the intention to close it down last year already - But made a u-turn; after opposition of the decision, by a number of Stakeholders, including Unions that have been worried about JOB LOSSES. So the company HAD SAID that - it would work on, turning the business around. But clearly - that has proven, to be an extremely difficult task. ArcelorMittal HAS FALLEN DEEPER, into a loss making position, due to these major factors: Lower global steel prices and that means less revenue. They are also paying more for electricity and logistics. And then there’s, competition from lower priced imports, particularly from China. They’ve been in talks with Government, since 2023 - to try and create policies that would create fair competition between South African made steel AND imported steel - where imports don’t CANNIBALISE our home made steel. But they’re saying that NOTHING has come out - to STRUCTURALLY CHANGE the Industry FUNDAMENTALS. Steel Imports - what is bought by South Africa from other countries - have increased by almost 50% since 2018. But the Steel Exports - what we sell to other countries - have REDUCED by 40%.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interview with David Cataford, CEO of Champion Iron Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/champion-iron-tsxcia-high-grade-iron-ore-crucial-for-green-steel-transition-4048Recording date: 6th September 2024Champion Iron Limited (TSX:CIA) is positioning itself as a key player in the high-grade iron ore market, strategically aligning with the global steel industry's shift towards decarbonization. Operating the Bloom Lake mine in Quebec, Canada, the company currently produces approximately 15 million tons of high-grade iron ore annually, with significant growth potential on the horizon.CEO David Cataford emphasizes the company's unique position: "We produce one of the highest grade iron ores in the world, roughly about 15 million tons per year, and have significant growth projects in the pipeline." This focus on premium products is particularly relevant as the steel industry increasingly adopts electric arc furnaces (EAFs) to reduce carbon emissions.Champion Iron's growth strategy is threefold:Short-term: Resolving logistics constraints to increase quarterly sales by 300,000 to 400,000 tons.Medium-term: Debottlenecking Bloom Lake to potentially increase production to 17-18 million tons annually.Long-term: Developing the Kami project, which could add 9 million tons of direct reduction (DR) grade iron ore production annually.A key initiative is the ongoing project to increase ore grade from 66% to 69%, set for completion in late 2025. Catford explains, "It doesn't seem like a big increase, but it's the game changer between selling to blast furnaces and selling to electric arc furnaces." This positions Champion Iron to capitalize on the growing demand for high-grade iron ore in EAF steelmaking.The company benefits from a strong financial position, with a net cash balance providing flexibility for growth initiatives. Management alignment is notable, with over 10% ownership by executives and directors. Other significant shareholders include the Government of Quebec (8%) and a Chicago-based fund (8%), providing a mix of strategic and institutional support.Champion Iron's focus on high-grade iron ore aligns well with ESG considerations, supporting lower-carbon steel production. The recent inclusion of high-purity iron ore on Canada's critical minerals list underscores its strategic importance and may provide access to government support and funding.Market dynamics appear favorable, with Catford noting, "Today it [high-grade iron ore] represents about 5% of the market, but as these electric furnaces get delivered, we do believe there's going to be a pretty big pull in terms of this material." The scarcity of new high-grade iron ore projects could create a supply-demand imbalance benefiting producers like Champion Iron.However, investors should be aware of potential risks, including market volatility, project execution risks, and the cyclical nature of the commodities sector. The company's ability to successfully complete its grade improvement project and develop the Kami project will be crucial in realizing its growth potential.In conclusion, Champion Iron presents an intriguing opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the high-grade iron ore market.
