## Resource

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with James Clarke - founder of Clearlink and managing partner at Clarke Capital - for an intimate look into the hard-won lessons behind a life of entrepreneurship, stewardship, and service. From his roots as a farm kid in Rexburg, Idaho to helming billion-dollar exits, James opens up about the foundational values instilled in him by family, mentors, and faith. He shares what it really means to lead with “labor and honor,” the ethos he now passes on to his children. Through raw reflections on early failures, pivotal pivots, and defining moments - including a highly publicized company controversy - James offers powerful insights on integrity, resilience, and staying the course. Casey and James explore themes of earned success, navigating public scrutiny, the difference between operators and investors, and why meaningful relationships matter more than ever in business. This is a thoughtful and inspiring episode for anyone building something that matters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
