This week on [On the Rocks](https://www.prospectorportal.com/on-the-rocks), host and Prospector's founder Emily King chats with Ryan Sistad, the Executive Director of [Better In Our Back Yard](https://betterinourbackyard.com/). 

Better In Our Back Yard's mission is to provide educational resources and advocacy to support responsible industrial development projects and companies in Northern Minnesota and regions surrounding the Upper Midwest. Emily and Ryan dig into how social media can help change perceptions of the mining industry and address concerns the public may have, how mining and tourism can coexist, and the difference the mining industry can make [economically](https://thenugget.prospectorportal.com/resource-revenues-where-do-they-go).
