James Clarke, CEO of Clearlink, joins Clint Betts and Garrett Clark for this episode of the Silicon Slopes podcast. James talks about being in the media firestorm following a town hall meeting that resulted in him being cancelled online and the impact it had on his professional and family life. Clint compares his experiences dealing with the Salt Lake Tribune and inviting Elder David A. Bender as a speaker at the Silicon Slopes Summit. On the topic of requiring a return to work in office, as a company, Clearlink has experienced substantial benefits of in-office work as working together in person has improved the mental health of employees, has allowed for great mentoring and leadership opportunities, and has allowed Clearlink employees to bring their best each day - resulting in tremendous growth company wide. James reflects on joining Clearlink again - seeing it as a second chance to grow the company he founded. Over the last few years they have been able to effectively double the profitability of the business and are looking toward the next phase of growth. Listen in as they talk Clarke Capital Partners, nonprofit efforts, and companies James is investing in, among other topics.  If you enjoyed this episode and want to support us, please follow our show, leave a review, and share it with your friends.
