Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTC Markets: MNTR) is pleased to be on the cover
in the “In Defense of Business Ethics” Fall 2014 edition of Management
Today. Mentor CEO and article author, Chet Billingsley explores how
“businesspeople are the stewards of the assets of society” and the
excess value they produce improves our world. They are the players that
advance the game while governments have only a referee-like role.
Understanding the different and often religiously-based ethical systems
that vary across our shrinking world reduces friction in business
dealings. This improves the slim margins that compound to make our
children’s lives better than our own.
Mentor Capital also comments on the inherent challenges it has taken up
in the cannabis space today. How exactly does one be law abiding when
marijuana is legal at the state level but illegal federally? What
actions are safe if the overlooking of the law is subject to change with
changing officials? How long will self-help and loyalty have primacy in
marijuana dealings over contract law? If medical marijuana clearly helps
seizures, pain and cancer, and substituting safer cannabis for more
dangerous drugs could save 10,000 lives per year, how long before the
marijuana stigma is reduced to wine-like status?
Management Today was launched in 1966, has a written circulation
of 600,000 and has similarly featured Papa John’s, Neiman Marcus and
Under Armour. The complete text of the discussion on ethical business
stewardship and cannabis challenges is available at both the Mentor
Capital and Management Today websites and at the link: http://mentorcapital.com/mentor-capital-ceo-featured-in-management-today-magazine/
