Mark Whitacre was climbing the corporate ladder with ease. He had a mansion and a private jet—life was good. And then he was let in on a shocking company secret and became part of the largest international price-fixing scheme in U.S. history.

Participating in the crime ate away at his conscience and eventually his wife convinced him to come forward. Which led to Mark wearing a wire for three years as an FBI informant, all the while knowing if he was caught he would likely be killed.

In this episode, Mark shares what it was like living under that kind of pressure and how he endured it. As you listen, you'll hear how having the wrong purpose in life led Mark down a bad path multiple times until he eventually wound up in prison. But what felt like an ending for Mark became the start of living a life full of purpose and productivity.
