About Me
Greg Lindberg is a businessman and entrepreneur who founded Global Growth, a private-equity conglomerate. Lindberg was wrongfully convicted of bribery and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in 2020, but was released in 2022 after a federal appellate court overturned his conviction.
Lindberg was born in San Mateo, California in 1970 and graduated from Crystal Springs Uplands School in 1989. He graduated from Yale University with an economics degree in 1993. Lindberg also launched a health insurance newsletter called Home Care Week in 1991 while still attending Yale.
Home Care Week became a highly successful business venture, which Lindberg transformed into Eli Global by 2012. This private-equity firm specialized in acquiring insurance companies, particularly those with a large number of assets for making pay outs. Eli Global became much more profitable as a result of these acquisitions, allowing Lindberg to expand into other markets. He had acquired over 100 companies by 2019, at which point Lindberg rebranded Eli Global as Global Growth.
Lindberg began serving his sentence at Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Montgomery, Alabama on October 20, 2020. He appealed the conviction on the basis that his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights were violated, causing the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit to overturn the conviction on June 29, 2022. Greg Lindberg was released from prison on July 15, 2022.

How Prison Changed Me: The Power of Hormesis and Unlocking your Inner Greatness. My name is Greg Lindberg. From my very first day in prison, I resolved to embrace the experience as a springboard to better myself physically, spiritually, and mentally.
The legal system is stacked against defendants, and that needs to change. Money and threats shouldn't keep people from seeing the justice they deserve. Today, I'm telling the story of a fellow wrongfully convicted inmate and how he overcame his life sentence by taking control of his life, overcoming his struggles - and got out in a few years.
Greg Lindberg on Lessons Learned in Prison: The Art of Obeying and Learning to Commit to Your Values
When I entered prison on my first day, I had years of experience as an entrepreneur as a leader. During my 633 days in prison, I learned the humble art of obeying. Prison has innumerable written and unwritten rules. To survive prison, you have to learn them all.
If you have been through trauma or adversity, there is a path for you to take your life back. When I was wrongfully convicted and spent 633 days in prison, I resolved to make the best of my time inside and do what I could to better myself.
Today I am talking about how the prison system really works. You can't fully know how the system will change your life until you've been through it, as I have. If the judge wants to make an example of you, you have to fight for justice.
