A respected business leader, faithful husband and loving father suddenly finds himself in a federal prison for a crime he didn’t knowingly commit. As he struggles to understand the complexity of his bad decisions, an ever-widening web of conspiracy and corruption is revealed. But it’s not the legal conspiracy of the largest stock fraud in the history of Washington state involving some of the biggest names in sports or the enigmatic FBI – it’s a conspiracy of the mind. It’s a battle with the most nefarious enemy of us all: our own blind spots. Blind spots are those unconscious biases, implicit associations, memory traps and thinking errors that affect our behavior and decision-making abilities. We all have them. Most of us think we don’t. That’s the conundrum. Kevin McCarthy is a thought-leader and sought-after keynote speaker. He is a professional member National Speakers Association, and currently President of the Oregon chapter. He resides in the Portland, Oregon area with his best friend and faithful wife of more than thirty years, Rachel, and is the proud father of two amazing young adults, Chris and Noelle. In his spare time he is a certified referee and an avid pool player for the largest billiards association in America, a valuable skill he learned in prison.
