My name is Clinton Still (Metu) and I’m a 34-year old Cybersecurity Engineer who quit my Fortune 150 consulting job because my soul had been worn down from living inauthentically. After quitting my job in June 2022, I experienced a spiritual rebirth in which I chose to start pursuing projects that are more aligned with my soul purpose and as part of that, I wanted to create businesses that support a cause that I’m extremely passionate about – #EthicalCapitalism. Ethical capitalism is a system in which I still wish to be appropriately compensated for my services, but profit comes secondary to providing impeccable service.
As a man of Christian faith, I wish to weave ethical capitalism into my businesses to combat the spirit of greed. Greed is one of the seven deadly sins and I’ve observed how it contributes to the degradation of humanity as well as experienced first-hand how it can slight the very employees that help to make the company great. For example, I’ve worked in organizations where employee benefits were stripped away, “slow boiling a frog” style, for no other reason than profit growth that only flows to the top of the pyramid. I do not wish to trade employee satisfaction for increased profit margins, as I am a firm believer that a corporation is a culmination of their people and a great leader is one who takes care and consideration to those who help build the empire. “Train people well enough so they can leave. Treat them well enough so they don’t want to” – Sir Richard Branson
