Clifton Isings

Clifton Isings grew up in the colorful and multicultural city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Montreal is where he met his wife of 31 years, Cynthia. Early in his life, Clifton moved around several times exploring his interests resulting in him attending 4 different universities in Canada and the United States. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Toronto, and a Masters of Business Administration degree from McGill University. Growing up, he unknowingly looked at most things as having some kind of hidden ultimate working model of existence. He only later formalized his thinkings in the business world into frameworks in this book. After different employments and entrepreneurial forays in his twenties, he went to work for a large Canadian pension fund as a long-term investor for the retirement dollars of the workers. He started as a summer student at the pension fund of Canadian National Railway and ended almost 30 years later as head of the entire fund. The fund enjoyed tremendous growth over his tenure and moved from a deficit when he joined as a summer student to a large surplus by the time he retired as CEO of the fund.
