When Greg Fisher was a child his mother said he’d either be very successful or end up in jail.
After a comfortable upbringing in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Greg Fisher did what he thought a good Jewish boy should do - get married, have a child and start making his way up the corporate ladder. But after coming out as gay and leaving his wife, Greg’s life veered into the fast lane.
A-list parties and a growing business empire (he headed up the Satellite Group, a media and property company) proved a heady mix, and by the early 2000s his high-stakes lifestyle began to spiral 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.
With his parole over in mid 2015, Greg has rehabilitated himself, working as general manager of Our Big Kitchen, a successful community kitchen in Bondi. He is still in a relationship with his partner Luke, has forged a close relationship with his daughter and goes to work excited every day. Written with brutal honesty, ''Inside Out'' is an extraordinary story of ambition, addiction and redemption.
