In this unforgettable episode, Todd Pultz sits down with Portia Louder, a former successful real estate investor and photographer whose life took a dramatic turn when a series of poor decisions led her into a multi-million dollar mortgage fraud scheme.
She shares everything—from the knock on the door by the FBI to her 7-year federal prison sentence, the emotional toll it took on her family (including her husband being charged), and the journey of redemption she experienced behind bars.
Now a TEDx speaker, published author, advocate, and mentor to incarcerated women, Portia is using her voice to impact lives and reform how society views those who’ve fallen… and gotten back up.
This is a raw, real, and deeply human conversation about wealth, loss, prison reform, true crime, and second chances. You don’t want to miss this.
