It's possible to give the world your story in an honorable way (maybe Marianne Pearl is an example), but the thing about John Nichol is now he does After Dinner speeches (earning thousands for each one) and has gotten into TV presenting and making programs, to me that's selling out. And Nick Leeson, who was responsible for the ruin of a major financial institution and the loss of many jobs, has gone into after dinner speaking and as well as the book about his role in the Barings Bank disaster (which became a film starring Ewan McGregor) he's also co-written a book about stress. And let's not forget James Hewitt, what a turd he is.

Some of these famous "after dinner speakers" are not people I'd invite to dinner.
