Who Is Erik Audé?
At just 21 years old, American actor, stuntman and now professional poker player, Erik Audé, was tortured and sentenced to death in Pakistan’s most dangerous prison for a crime he didn’t commit. His story became a feature length documentary called 3 Years in Pakistan: The Erik Audé Story which can be found on Amazon Prime, Apple TV and many other outlets. Listen to this episode now to hear how Erik faced unimagineable odds to regain his freedom without ever yielding his integrity.

Pete's Take...
It would be a mistake to bet against Erik Audé, His resolve to maintain his pride bore a pressure few could endure. Imagine this: Despite being convicted of a crime he didn't commit... despite being tortured... despite being sentenced to death in a hostile foreign country... and despite being offered his freedom and a shortened sentence if he were to plead guilty, Erik never did. Erik's rock solid character is awe inspiring.
