Think about how different the world is because of whistleblowers. Think about the impact of Daniel Ellsberg, Coleen Rowley, Sherron Watkins, Jeffery Weigand, and Karen Silkwood.
Each changed the trajectory of a company or a government for the better, and in doing so risked making their own lives so much worse.
So why do they do it? Why do some individuals put their own moral compass ahead of the risks of being a whistleblower?
Ashley Yablon might be able to answer some of these questions because he is a whistleblower. His information would have a profound impact on one of China’s largest technology companies. It would result in large fines for the company, but what impact did it really have, and was it worth what it cost Yablon?
Ashley Yablon joins me to discuss STANDING UP TO CHINA.
