Mark Whitacre is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating podcast interviews I have ever done (along side Tamrat Layne). Mark earned a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from Cornell University after which his career soared with Archer Daniels Midland (AMD). At a young age, Mark was a top executive at AMD and living a jet set lifestyle. However, he ended up becoming a whistleblower for the FBI in the largest corporate price-fixing case in US history. Mark was sentenced to nine years in federal prison for embezzling 9.5 million dollars from AMD while assisting the FBI’s investigation. Mark met Chuck Colson while he was in prison and became a follower of Jesus. A couple of books, a documentary, and a movie came out on Mark’s life. Matt Damon played Mark Whitacre in The Informant! which was directed by Steven Soderbergh in 2009. Today Mark Whitacre works with Coke Consolidated and the T-Factor helping business owners develop faith-based friendly work cultures. Don’t miss this inspirational episode!

This is the first of a series of interviews covering spirituality and the workplace, so hope you enjoy. This one rocks!
