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. He married, had a child and started making his way up the corporate ladder. But after coming out and leaving his wife, Greg’s life veered into the fast lane.

A-list parties and a growing business empire 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 is now general manager of Our Big Kitchen, a successful community kitchen. Written with brutal honesty, Inside Out is an extraordinary story of ambition, addiction and redemption.
