Welcome to The Purpose Summit Series on Stories from the River! To kick off this 12-episode series with selected speakers from The Purpose Summit 2024, Charlie Malouf welcomes Davin Salvagno, Founder and CEO of Purpose Point and a return guest of the podcast. They sat down for this conversation at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum Gear Shop during The Purpose Summit 2024. A friend of The River, this episode marks Davin's fifth appearance on the podcast. Davin shares the experience of bringing the 5th Purpose Summit to Charlotte, and he discusses the intricate planning and teamwork that goes into organizing The Purpose Summit. Recorded in front of a live audience during the breakout sessions on day two of the Summit, Salvagno shares insights about the opening night of The Purpose Summit, where purposeful and positive speakers like Nick Craig and Jon Gordon set a high standard, delivering messages that were both inspiring and transformative for attendees. He describes the first night as a microcosm of the Summit's larger objective, emphasizing the importance of stopping to follow others' maps and instead becoming map-makers. The Purpose Leadership Awards also shone a spotlight on organizations exemplifying purpose from three different areas (for profit, non profit, and faith-based). The discussion moves to the events of the following morning with presentations by Ron Carucci and Mark Whitacre, both delivering impactful content that challenged and inspired participants. Davin reveals that this year's feedback was particularly positive, noting a stronger emphasis on actionable "how-to" advice compared to previous summits. He addresses the demanding nature of organizing the Summit, sharing his motivation drawn from the high percentage of disengaged workers and the transformative potential business holds. Both Charlie and Davin underscore the significance of the event for attendees and organizations like Broad River Retail. Looking ahead, The Purpose Summit is set to return to Charlotte in 2025, with Salvagno expressing hope for the Summit to continue its impact and possibly establish a long-term home in Charlotte.

Today's episode starts with a clip from the trailer for 2009 comedy/drama “The Informant!,” directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Matt Damon, Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, and Melanie Lynskey. It's a wild based-on-a-true-story film about Mark Whitacre. In the early-1990s, Whitacre was the corporate vice president and President of the BioProducts Division of the agro-business giant Archer Daniels Midland. Whitacre would go on to become an informant in the FBI investigation into a conspiracy to price-fix lysine, an essential amino acid. At the same time he was informing on his employer to the FBI, Whitacre was embezzling $9 million from ADM in a kickbacks and money laundering scheme. It all came to an end a few years later when ADM settled federal charges for more than $100 million and paid hundreds of millions of dollars more to plaintiffs and customers to settle class-action lawsuits. In 1998, Whitacre pled guilty to tax evasion and fraud and was sentenced to nine years in prison.But what marked the end of this tumultuous period in Mark Whitacre's life also marked the beginning of his journey to his Christian faith, redemption, and a series of second chances.Today, Eric Kohn talks with Mark Whitacre about his time as a corporate executive, his time as an FBI informant, his time in federal prison, and how all of this brought him to his Christian faith that he now integrates into his corporate work.Subscribe to our podcastsThe Informant!

Few people's life stories are as spectacular as Mark Whitacre's to merit a Hollywood movie and a Discovery Channel documentary. With a cinematic landscape characterized by excesses of wealth, power, and corporate greed, and a thrilling fall and redemption arc, it's hard not to be enthralled. Today, Mark joins us to tell his remarkable story. In this first episode of a two-part interview, we'll hear how God radically intervened in his life, from a university student who rejected faith to becoming an ultra-successful corporate executive and eventually getting caught up in a massive price-fixing case and becoming the highest-level corporate executive in U.S. history to become an FBI whistleblower.

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.

Society has conditioned us to want more — riches, houses, cars, followers — we can't get enough. It's not wrong to be ambitious, but addiction to ambition will lead you down a dangerous path. Addiction recovery means understanding that God is more than enough. As a Christian, you may think you're immune to this addiction since you have a relationship with God. But you're more susceptible than you think. Think about the belongings you've accumulated, how much more you want to earn, how you compare yourself to others. In this episode, we talk about how an addiction to more can distract us from serving God. Having a relationship with God is not a single decision but a continuous process — you need to keep choosing Him no matter what. We also talk about practical ways you can practice addiction recovery, refocus your attention, and resist the temptation of serving mammon: the representation of the world and materialism. Listen to the full episode if you want to strengthen your relationship with God and resist the hold of addiction to more. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:Understand what an addiction to more is and why it harms our relationship with God. Learn why we can't serve God and our addiction to more simultaneously. Discover practical ways toward addiction recovery: keep your focus on God and two mindset changes.

Sometimes, the life of our dreams isn't the life we need. It's easy to be caught up in material things and get distracted by shiny objects. We often believe that having a massive house and expensive cars equates to success. Plus, shopping without looking at the price tags and going on expensive trips is a sign of success. But correlating success to financial achievements only brings harm by sowing the seeds of greed. This creates an endless cycle of insatiable desire, wanting more and more yet never feeling satisfied. In this episode, Mark Whitacre recounts the largest price-fixing case in US history that utterly destroyed his life and mind. He discusses how he recovered his faith and hope in the aftermath of this ordeal. Mark also shares the psychological effects of corporate greed and the harrowing experience of working as an FBI informant. Lastly, he goes on to discuss his inspiring story of finding faith and purpose in prison. Listen to this episode if you want to find out what a significant life means.

Actor and writer Mike Mekus joins the show from Manhattan for a discussion of Steven Soderbergh and his 2009 “comedy thriller” The Informant! Based on the best-selling non-fiction book of the same name (sans exclamation point) by Kurt Eichenwald, it's the story of Mark Whitacre, an Archer Daniels Midland Company executive turned corporate whistleblower on price-fixing collusion in agri-industry, who turns out to have been embezzling from the company the entire time he was co-operating with the FBI. We talk about what we love about Soderbergh's career-long capitalist critique in his works, the many risks he takes in presenting The Informant! as a comedy, and we shake our heads at the irony of Matt Damon now repeating the role of the unreliable narrator but in real life, as the new pitchman for Crypto dot com.

Mark was sentenced to nine years in federal prison for embezzling 9.5 million dollars from AMD while assisting the FBI's investigation.

What is the difference between leading a life of success and leading a life of significance? In his 30s, Mark Whitacre defined success as a seven-figure salary, a 13,000-foot home with an eight-car garage, and flying on corporate jets all over the world. That was a reality.

Suddenly the large salary shrunk to $20 a month as he worked to help fellow prison mates earn their GEDs. In this episode, Mark reveals how he found more fulfillment in the work he did in prison than in his corporate job. Hear why pursuing meaningful work is more rewarding, makes us more productive, and ultimately gives us the space to make a difference.

Mindhunter returned for a second season on Netflix last week, and I talked with Will Leitch about the gifts director David Fincher brings to this kind of narrative, who's the real heart of the FBI BSU story, Fringe reunions, and whether the Li'l Tench, Creep In Waiting storyline worked for us. This section does contain spoilers for the second season, so if you haven't watched yet, skip ahead to... ...the Cold Case section, where we're talking about 2009's The Informant!, a genre-busting take on Mark Whitacre's elaborate, self-satisfied frauds against his employer in the '90s. Steven Soderbergh's understanding of southern-Illinois-ness, a vanity-free performance from Matt Damon, and a host of Hey, It's That Guy!s looking flabbergasted join a fizzy Hamlisch score to create a hilarious portrait of a deluded secret-agent con...that's also an object lesson in how to tell complicated white-collar crime stories visually.

We have fun here, and hope you, the listenerz, do too. We have some light, lovable fare for you this week. Sarah goes first with two shorter tales. She starts us off talking about the Harbor Chief, a nickname for an aggressive swan in Os, Norway. Known for passionately, albeit somewhat predator-ily protecting the harbor of its small town. At once a mascot for many local businesses, the swan's role fluctuated between a charming sight and a public nuisance. What to do with the would-be-assassin cause more than a little bit of controversy. Sarah's second bit is about the English Philosopher, Jeremy Bentham. It's less about his life and more about the mysterious choices he made about his wishes in death. Wanting to become a self-proclaimed "auto-icon", Bentham wanted his body preserved in a very particular way. He kind of got his wishes? Stephanie rounds us out with the also true story of Mark Whitacre. The highest paid American executive turned whistleblower/FBI informant, Whitacre's time with Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) was short before he began assisting with the investigation of the company's price-fixing scheme. Though he was initially granted full immunity for his cooperation, that was overturned when Mark's own crimes came to light. He was the subject of the book 'The Informant!' as well as the subsequent movie staring Matt Damon. Whitacre's story is bizarre, but entertaining and ultimately sheds light on many important American issues including corporate greed, mental health, and the journey towards forgiveness. If that doesn't end on a note you like, just stick around for the Fetish Five to drop *pun absolutely intended* Listen to E56: Weekend at Bentham's!

Retired agent Robert Herndon served in the FBI for 28 years. Before joining the Bureau, he was employed as a CPA. In this episode of FBI Retired Case File Review, Herndon reviews an anti-trust corporate fraud investigation involving Archer Daniels Midland, a global food processing corporation operating a price-fixing scheme to steal millions of dollars from its customers. Herndon also discusses Mark Whitacre, his rogue cooperating witness who had a hidden agenda that nearly destroyed the careers of Herndon and his co-case agent. The case, code-named Operation Harvest King, was the subject of the true crime thriller The Informant by Kurt Eichenwald and a feature film by the same name, starring Matt Damon. During his FBI career, in addition to the ADM investigation, Herndon worked several other major cases, to include the first prosecution of a U.S. District Court Judge on bribery charges; the national health care fraud case of the year – a case in which a pharmacist purposely diluted chemotherapy drugs for profit. He received the Attorney Generals Award for Distinguished Service; was the Agent of the Year, and an award from the Director of the CIA following a three-year deep undercover assignment focused on a foreign adversary. He retired as a supervisor overseeing complex financial crime cases in the Kansas City Division. After spending nearly three years traveling the world investigating bribery and financial integrity matters for Walmart. Currently, Bob Herndon is President of The WCC Group, LLC - an entity that conducts employment background investigations; financial integrity reviews; and provides presentations and training to professional groups.
