## Resource

The Backyard is the final episode in our four-part series with Better In Our Back Yard—and it brings the conversation home. In this episode, we hear from members of the organization, as well as from Ryan Sistad , who leads Better In Our Backyard and serves as the primary leadership voice in this conversation. Ryan shares what he hopes people take away from being part of this work, and why the organization exists—to bring real value to its members and to advocate for something larger than any one company or project: a better backyard for all of us. At a time when minerals, strategic reserves, and national security dominate the news, this conversation serves as an important reminder. Mining—and the resources beneath our feet—have always played a critical role in sustaining our way of life. That hasn’t changed. What often changes is our awareness of it. We’ve been honored to walk alongside the Better In Our Backyard team and to better understand the work they’re doing. Our hope is that these conversations uncover something for you as well—reminding us of what matters, what deserves our focus, and why perseverance matters, especially in an industry that knows difficulty and pressure firsthand. From the entire Blackline team to Better In Our Backyard, thank you—for your leadership, your conviction, and your commitment to helping companies and organizations bring value, raise awareness, and operate responsibly. This is The Backyard—yours and ours. May we all take responsibility for making it a better one. -------------------------- WHERE TO WATCH: Spotify ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/07rT0hFAsPAZYCUF4OMBB7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ Apple ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-line/id1722664848⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------- FOLLOW JOSH: X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com…
