We’ll hear John’s story, and think about our own. How easy is it to make the wrong decision…and where is the point of no return?

Experience the intense extremes as he quickly became a top financial adviser, managing close to $100 million dollars for his clients and generating an income of $500,000, but then paid the ultimate price when he committed a federal crime and lost everything.
