Summary |
When I was a kid, my mum used to say I'd either be very successful or end up in jail. After growing up in Sydney's eastern suburbs, Greg Fisher did what he thought a good Jewish boy should do. He married, had a child and started making his way up the corporate ladder. But after coming out and leaving his wife, Greg's life veered into the fast lane. A-list parties and a growing business empire were an intoxicating mix, and by the early 2000s his high-stakes lifestyle was spiralling dangerously out of control. Eventually jailed for corporate fraud and drug dealing, Greg spent almost eight years in prison, sharing a cell with some of Australia's most notorious criminals - and began the slow process of rebuilding his life. Written with brutal honesty, this is an extraordinary story of ambition, addiction and the long road to redemption |
