Holly Pasut was a nationally recognized real estate agent in the booming southeast market. Personality and relationship building led her to be among the top agents in the country. Then she was sentenced to federal prison for twenty-one months for involvement in a mortgage fraud case that was one of the largest investigations in the United States. She was released after serving only thirteen months. She shares the story of her path - from an iconic agent to a federal prison cell - with white-collar professionals and university students around the country. Her audiences are awakened to the risks professionals take often without even knowing it. Topics include big lessons from federal prison, critical thinking errors, recognizing your inner voice, and changing your mindset. A life group leader, certified life coach, and certified volunteer for several ministries and second chance organizations, Holly encourages socially stigmatized groups to live beyond their stigma. She is a loving mother to three adult children who inspire her on a daily basis. Quiet early morning meditations are part of her spiritual regime, along with regular work outs and long walks, and she is easily distracted by music.
