Hold onto your seat! Imagine getting your dream job--the one you've spent your life planning for--and realize that you're facing the mindblowing decision of "Do I keep doing exactly what I'm doing and risk treason charges?" or "Do I trust my conscience and implode my career? 

That was the impossible and--for a person of integrity and conscience-- yet easy decision that faced attorney Ashley Yablon several years ago.  He literally put his life and his career in danger by standing on principle against the most unprincipled of employers.

His is a story faced in much smaller ways every day by people who face unethical and toxic pressures at work.  Yet none of them--and none of us--have to wonder if we could get out of our companies alive and have the FBI ready to launch a strike to save us. But he did.

Ashley Yablon, a former general counsel, risked it all. He's the author of "Standing Up to China"--a book you need to buy today.

Hear his story of being set up to take the fall by a multi-billion $$$ company backed by a government that plays dirty and for keeps.  Learn what he learned when he became the target in a story of spying, international business, leadership, survival, adversity, and outrageous courage.
