- Опубликовано: 28 май 2024
- Join me live today at 4 pm Pacific Time as I interview Alec Burlakoff, former Sales Leader of Insys Pharmaceuticals.
Alec accepted full responsibility for his involvement in a RICO Conspiracy promoting the opioid spray Subsys and served time in federal prison. Since his release, he authored the book "Selling Hard: Lessons Learned" and has been educating audiences on white-collar crime's consequences.
Alec was a client of White Collar Advice, and we remain good friends to this day.
In this conversation, he will discuss his willingness to learn from mistakes, share valuable lessons, and own his choices.
During this interview, we'll explore the following questions:
What decisions led you into the criminal justice system?
What was your life like before prison?
Walk us through your prison experience.
Help us understand the fallout from your case, both personally and financially.
Why did you write your book, Selling Hard: Lessons Learned?
What do you say to people who claim you contributed to the opioid addiction crisis in this country?
How hard is rebuilding your life after prison, and what advice would you give to young salespeople tempted to cross the line?
...and more!
Alec's insights will provide valuable perspectives on personal responsibility, ethical decision-making, and the potential for redemption.
Subscribe and set a reminder now to be part of this conversation. Engage with us during the live event by leaving your questions and comments.
Alec and I look forward to seeing you at 4 PM Pacific / 7PM Eastern today.
Thank you,
Justin
Alec is a really nice guy I went to see him live at an event he spoke at I had the chance to speak to him a bit after and he is a knowledgeable person!
In this interview, Alec Burlakoff managed not to talk about himself for about a minute and a half, before returning to his favorite subject. Has he made any attempts to apologize, in person, to anybody who was hurt by what he did? Is he going to? His performance in this video is an insult to the victims of the opioid crisis and it makes my stomach turn.
This dude and everyone like him should have spent the rest of their lives in prison. I don’t even know an addict. This isn’t personal. They caused more harm to society than any cartel or other criminal (outside of war crimes ) in history.
Lol he’s here hawking a book. Still profiting from the blood on his hands. A disgrace to the human race.
For what it's worth, I agree with each and every word of your comment. Alec Burlakoff is touring the country and every channel on RUclips, willing to offer him free airtime. He is, of course, promoting himself as a convert - someone who did bad things and is now offering 'wisdom' and 'advice' to 'young people', while shamelessly enjoying the spotlight. It's disgusting and I have a feeling that even the interviewer and owner of this channel may have had second thoughts about having done this particular video, realizing that this one was a bridge too far. Some people, especially those who get off with ridiculously light prison sentences, like Alec Burlakoff, actually do not deserve to be forgiven.
Ok, Alec committed a crime that caused unimaginable suffering and an avalanche of addictions and death. He was caught, prosecuted and did his time in prison. He never stepped out and tried to justify what he did, never tried to put the hat on anyone else to paint himself a dupe in a system. I'd give the guy some credit that he is trying to make something right and warm others in his own cautionary tale to avoid chasing money with blind greed regardless of who it hurts. I was a sales professional for 20 years and while I would never sell a product or service to someone who either couldn't afford it or did not need it, I was in a minority. Most of my colleagues would tell the clients anything, promise anything to make that sale and were rewarded with bonuses, president's club status and accolades from top execs for their "hard work". Imagine those people selling in an industry like pharm where people's lives were at stake. Maybe Alec's story will wake up a few who are sleeping on their money without a conscience.
