How do good people end up making life-changing mistakes? Tom Hardin made a handful of bad decisions, which led to the FBI approaching him on the street. He was caught insider trading on Wall Street, and the FBI demanded that he become an informant for them and turn against his colleagues. I read his book, which is full of insightful information about relationships, his marriage, and how he built his life back up from public disgrace.
Tom Hardin, formerly known as “Tipper X,” is the author of the national bestseller Wired on Wall Street: The Rise and Fall of Tipper X. A former hedge fund analyst, Hardin became one of the FBI’s most prolific cooperating witnesses in its historic insider trading investigation, Operation Perfect Hedge. Today, he speaks globally to corporate and university audiences on ethics, decision-making, conduct risk, and the pressures that lead good people into bad decisions.
In this episode of Life & Love by Design, I sit down with Tom Hardin (Tipper X) for a powerful conversation about difficult decisions, trust, loyalty, shame, forgiveness, marriage, and redemption. This isn't a conversation about Wall Street. It's about being human. We explore why good people sometimes make bad decisions, how those choices impact the people we love, and what it takes to move forward with integrity.
If you've ever struggled with guilt, faced a difficult decision, experienced betrayal, or wondered whether trust can truly be rebuilt, this episode is for you.
