Podcasts about Compliance

Struggling with costs in your healthcare organization? Reach out to Michael.  Click Here for more info Episode Overview In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael speaks with Michi McClure, Founder of Consivian, about her transformation from an “accidental leader” to a conscious architect of human and organizational growth. Michi shares how her firm evolved from its compliance origins into a full-spectrum business consultancy helping leaders and teams grow through authenticity, systems thinking, and self-awareness. Together, they explore what it means to build organizations that are not just compliant — but truly connected, conscious, and continually learning. Key Topics & Insights Authentic Connection as the Foundation of Growth Michael and Michi unpack how organizational health begins with authentic human connection. They discuss how leaders can create environments where people feel safe to speak openly, challenge ideas, and contribute meaningfully. Drawing inspiration from 3M's innovation culture and Amy Edmondson's research on psychological safety, the conversation highlights the power of balancing data-driven insight with genuine human empathy. The Power of Inclusion in Leadership Decisions Michael shares a story about a healthcare redesign initiative that excluded doctors from the planning process — a costly mistake that became a case study in why leaders must include all stakeholders. The story becomes a powerful metaphor for leadership humility, reminding us that sustainable change only happens when everyone's voice is invited to the table. Flexibility and Communication at Every Level Michi and Michael discuss how leaders can move beyond rigid structures and instead create flexible meeting formats, adaptive communication rhythms, and spaces for real-time problem-solving. They emphasize that leadership today isn't about following old rules — it's about being present, reflective, and responsive to what teams actually need. Visual Feedback and Leadership Awareness Michi shares her creative experiment with a “visual thermometer” on her office door, where her team could anonymously reflect how they perceived her leadership presence each day. This tool became a catalyst for self-awareness and emotional intelligence — qualities she believes are essential to modern leadership. Michael expands on the idea, encouraging leaders to “take their own pulse” after key interactions to assess connection and tone. Reflection as the Path to Personal and Organizational Growth Both Michi and Michael underscore the importance of reflective learning — recognizing blind spots, seeking feedback, and embracing discomfort as a teacher. Michi connects this process to burnout prevention, explaining how reflection and feedback re-energize leaders by aligning them more deeply with purpose. Creativity, Self-Care, and Sustainable Leadership In a discussion that blends philosophy and practicality, Michi advocates for leaders to give themselves “space and grace” to recharge creatively. Michael introduces the timeless “sharpen the saw” parable, illustrating how sustainable productivity requires rest, reflection, and recalibration. Together, they explore how Consivian helps leaders move from burnout to balanced, consistent performance — like the steady pace of a tortoise rather than the burnout-driven sprint of a hare. Navigating Organizational Change with Self-Awareness Michi dives into the challenges of change management, noting that many leaders attempt to “fix” others before examining their own systems. She encourages a shift toward self-inquiry, using feedback loops and system mapping to uncover invisible barriers that hinder transformation. Continuous Learning as a Business Imperative To close, Michi shares how continuous learning shapes the culture at Consivian — each client engagement becomes a new opportunity for insight, innovation, and growth. She invites listeners to explore more about her work and resources at consivian.com. Connect with Michi McClure & Consivian

In today's episode, Lisa speaks with Danielle Herrick, VP of Risk, Compliance, and Ethics at Bloom Energy.  After being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, Danielle began sharing her journey through her “Compliance with Courage” posts on LinkedIn.  And her candor and openness, in turn, are inspiring the Ethics & Compliance community. Danielle shares how her experience became a turning point – reshaping how she leads, works, and views life in compliance. She talks about finding balance after years as a self-proclaimed workaholic, learning to say no, and discovering strength in vulnerability. They discuss how compassion belongs in compliance, what it means to truly “show up,” and how clear, human communication can be just as powerful as policies and procedures. Danielle also highlights the incredible support she's received, including from her manager, Human Resources, and her professional community, and how that support has influenced her mission to “rewrite the rulebook with compassion.”

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving deep into a series of significant events that are shaping the future of drug development and patient care.Starting with Merck KGaA, their decision to close the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient plant in Arklow, Ireland by 2028 marks a pivotal shift in their manufacturing strategy. This move follows a strategic review and is emblematic of broader industry trends where companies reassess their operational strategies for greater efficiency. While this decision may impact the local workforce and supply chain dynamics, it underscores a wider reevaluation within the industry regarding sourcing strategies and optimizing production capabilities.Turning to regulatory news, Amgen and AstraZeneca have achieved a notable milestone with Tezspire, which has received approval for a second indication in both the U.S. and Europe. This success highlights the strategic importance of expanding drug indications to maximize therapeutic potential and market reach. The approval also reflects a trend where robust clinical data supports regulatory endorsements across various regions, enhancing the global footprint of pharmaceutical innovations.In manufacturing developments, Galderma is making headlines with a $650 million investment in U.S.-based production facilities for Nemluvio. This commitment to domestic manufacturing aligns with industry-wide movements towards reshoring production to bolster supply chain resilience. As demand for dermatological products increases, enhancing local infrastructure promises not only to meet market needs but also to secure supply stability in uncertain times.Meanwhile, Moderna's recent decision to discontinue its congenital cytomegalovirus vaccine program after disappointing Phase 3 results illustrates the inherent uncertainties present in vaccine development. Despite extensive efforts, the vaccine did not demonstrate sufficient efficacy in preventing CMV infections among women. This outcome serves as a reminder of the critical role that robust clinical trial data plays in guiding strategic decisions within pharmaceutical pipelines. While mRNA technology has seen success against COVID-19, this setback highlights complexities involved when tackling other viral pathogens, potentially redirecting Moderna's focus towards more promising candidates.Roche is navigating through challenges such as currency fluctuations and slower-than-expected pharmaceutical sales in its third quarter. Despite these headwinds, Roche projects confidence in its long-term growth strategies, showcasing resilience through its diversified portfolio. Furthermore, Roche's decision to discontinue five Chugai solid tumor assets reflects broader industry movements towards reassessment and realignment within pipelines. Such decisions often emerge from early-phase trials failing to meet expected outcomes or shifts towards areas with greater promise, enabling companies like Roche to streamline resources towards more viable therapeutic areas.Compliance remains under scrutiny at Nephron Pharmaceuticals as ongoing FDA issues emphasize the necessity of maintaining stringent quality standards throughout manufacturing processes. Such regulatory challenges highlight the criticality of ensuring product safety and efficacy within the industry.On the technological front, the integration of artificial intelligence into life sciences commercialization is transforming industry landscapes. Though many organizations are still catching up with this digital shift, those that have embraced AI are experiencing significant improvements in efficiency and patient engagement. As companies continue embedding AI into their strategic frameworks, these initiatives promise to redefine operational paradigms and open new paths for growth.The landscape remains dynaSupport the show

In episode 298, Renaud talks with Roberth Jonsson (24HourAR) about what “compliance” really means in the EU/UK. Industrial products, consumer goods, dropshipping; if you sell in the EU/UK under your own brand, you're legally the manufacturer. That means CE testing alone won't save you. You need the right directives/standards, a complete technical file, and (in most cases) an EU Responsible Person, often an Authorized Representative (AR).   Episode Sections: 00:00:13 – Introduction. 00:03:20 – EU compliance at a high level: directives vs standards; CE ≠ everything. 00:06:51 – Who's the “manufacturer” legally? Private label importers beware. 00:10:16 – Testing reports vs full compliance: technical file, risk assessment, manuals. 00:12:26 – The “responsible person” & why it exists. 00:14:18 – Market Surveillance Reg (2019/1020) and GPSR expanding the scope. 00:17:41 – Importer obligations & the pain of sharing technical docs with many importers. 00:20:03 – When to appoint an Authorized Representative (AR); DTC and online sellers. 00:23:17 – Dropshipping into the EU: why customs may block you without an EU RP. 00:25:15 – EU vs UK: similar rules, separate markets; you need separate reps. 00:26:22 – “Can my cousin be the AR?” Contracts, duties, and… big risks. 00:27:13 – Coming change: Product Liability Directive will add AR liability. 00:29:19 – ESPR & Digital Product Passports; unified customs tools = tighter checks. 00:33:05 – Gatekeepers: ARs/importers get pickier as liability rises. 00:34:44 – How to contact 24HourAR.   Related content...

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, co-host Hemma Lomax sits down with Anna Pitt-Stanley, Co-Founder and COO of Umony, to explore how the next generation of compliance technology can transform how organizations listen to their people, their culture, and their risk signals. From her early work in voice innovation to co-founding Umony, Anna's journey is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: that the truth of human behavior lives in communication. She and her co-founder, Dean Elwood, were driven by the frustration of seeing compliance programs overwhelmed by data but starved for insight. Together, they set out to build a company that turns conversations into decision-useful intelligence, without losing the human heart at the center of it all. Anna shares how she leads with empathy, builds trust through operational discipline, and models what it looks like to be a C-suite leader who truly cares. This episode blends technology, leadership, and compassion — and reminds us that compliance done well is less about control and more about connection. Episode highlight: What does “the truth of behavior lives in communication” mean for compliance and culture? How to balance surveillance and stewardship in modern communications governance. Building a culture of compliance and compassion inside a high-growth tech company. Leadership lessons from scaling with integrity: operational empathy, psychological safety, and trust by design. The future of decision-useful compliance and what human-centric technology looks like in practice. Biography: Anna Pitt-Stanley is Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Umony, where she leads operational governance, talent, partnerships, and disciplined execution as the company scales. Before Umony, Anna co-founded Voxygen, a voice and communications innovation company later acquired by Lebara Group, where she served on the leadership team and board. Over her career, she has built a reputation for bridging complex, regulated environments with practical, people-first execution, delivering programs that align compliance, operations, and culture. Anna holds an LL.M. in Law from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). She also serves as a Director of Umony Limited and Umony Holdings Limited. She is known for her focus on operational empathy, governance excellence, and creating workplaces where compliance and compassion thrive side by side.

GoFundMe launched a new “Nonprofit Pages” feature — automatically creating donation pages for over 1.4 million nonprofits across the U.S. without direct consent.If your organization never set up a GoFundMe campaign, you might still have a live, searchable page collecting donations right now — with funds routed through the PayPal Giving Fund and a 15–45 day delay before the nonprofit ever sees them.In this episode, Christina breaks down:What's actually happening behind these auto-created pagesWhy this isn't just a communication misstep — it's a compliance and consent issueThe potential financial, trust, and risks nonprofits now faceWhy “visibility” doesn't justify bypassing consent or controlWhat to do immediately if your nonprofit was includedYou'll also hear Christina's take on why this move adds unexpected administrative burden for small teams during the busiest fundraising season of the year — and why the only ethical solution is to make this feature opt-in by default.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Seller finance compliance feels messy because multiple rule sets overlap and the gray areas are real. In this episode, I break down the essentials—Dodd-Frank Ability-to-Repay (ATR), TRID timelines, and the “Rules of 1, 3, and 5”—and show you how to keep deals simple, compliant, and sellable. Key takeaways Dodd-Frank ATR (the big one): If your borrower is an owner-occupant, you must make a good-faith determination they can repay (credit, income, debts, residual income). You want to underwrite anyway—this protects you and improves loan performance. TRID basics: Send a Loan Estimate (LE) ≥ 7 business days before closing and a Closing Disclosure (CD) ≥ 3 business days before closing. Disclosure reduces misunderstandings and defaults. Rules of 1 / 3 / 5 (why the myths persist): “1 per year”: Only applies to natural persons selling their own primary residence (not investment deals or entities). Not the “do anything you want” rule most think it is. “3 per year”: You can create up to 3 loans/year without involving an RMLO, but ATR still applies. Not Wild West. “5 per year”: You can do up to 5 loans/year without TRID, but if you're already doing ATR with an RMLO, you'll typically do TRID too—there's no reason not to. Why follow ATR + TRID even when not strictly required: Better underwriting → fewer defaults Easier to sell (and at higher prices) to institutional buyers Enforceability if a borrower contests in court Costs are typically passed to the borrower at closing Servicing tip: For owner-occupied loans, use a third-party servicer. Compliance on servicing is even stricter, and you can contractually pass the monthly fee to the borrower. Resources mentioned

The Foundation of Belief-Driven Leadership Introduction: What is culture, really? In this conversation, Matt Marcotte—who's led teams at Apple, Salesforce, and Bergdorf Goodman—helps us move past the buzzwords. We talk about why belief is the difference between teams that comply and teams that commit, why uncertainty makes this more critical than ever, and how leaders can stop trying to be the hero and start creating environments where people bring their best. Summary: Matt introduces his new book Built on Belief and explains why he pivoted from frameworks to focus on the real competitive advantage: belief. We explore how belief transforms into commitment versus compliance, why leaders feel pressure to have all the answers (and why that's wrong), and the importance of clarity around what your organization actually believes. Matt shares the "heart, head, hands" framework and explains why people feel first, think second, then act—and how leaders need to work with that reality, not against it. Key Highlights: Culture comes down to two things: how people act and what they believe Belief is the "magic elixir" for fighting uncertainty in today's business environment The myth of the hero leader: your success is predicated on your people's success, not on having all the answers The "heart, head, hands" framework: humans are wired to feel first, then make sense of it intellectually, then act Key Takeaways: Start by defining what you believe. Most organizations focus on the "how" and "what" but skip the foundational "why." Commitment is born from conflict. People need agency, voice, and the ability to challenge ideas to truly buy in. Redefine what control means. Great leaders are conductors orchestrating the whole, not soloists playing every instrument. Lead with emotion, not intellect. "I have a dream" beats "I have a plan" every time when building commitment. Put people in choice. Be clear about your mission so people can authentically opt in—or out. Next Steps for Listeners: Ask yourself: When's the last time I thought about what my organization actually believes? Identify one person on your team and practice looking at a challenge through their eyes. Think about your last big initiative—did you lead with vision (emotion) or plan (intellect)? How did people respond? Connect with Matt on LinkedIn.

If you're still pretending 60/40 will solve everything, this episode is your wake-up call. I brought back the Queen of Alts, Shana Orczyk Sissel, to rip through the reality of alternatives: what works, what doesn't, where the real yield is coming from, and the cost you actually pay for it—hint: liquidity, not magic. We get straight to it. No fluff. No sales pitch. Just the truth. We break down why alts are finally everywhere—regulatory changes, active ETFs, and the rise of interval funds—and why access is easier but the learning curve is still real. Shana explains the tradeoffs in plain English: higher income often means less liquidity, leverage multiplies both gains and pain, and “complex” doesn't automatically mean “risky.” Complexity just means do the work. This is a masterclass in due diligence. We walk through what to ask a manager, how to sniff out conflicts, why structure and third-party vendors matter, and how to judge a product beyond marketing sheets. We also hit the advisor problem: most fear is just lack of information. Your job is to learn what your clients don't have time to learn. Period. Who are alts for? Shana's take: everyone, but not every alt is for everyone. There's a spectrum—from Bitcoin and venture to sober, income-producing private credit. Your job is matching goals, risk, taxes, and liquidity. We close with a simple portfolio checklist so you can stop guessing and start allocating with intent.

The myth says procurement is the holdup. We put that belief under a bright light with Oklahoma's Chief Procurement Officer, Amanda Otis, and trace exactly how a team moves from jungle to clarity—no playbook, tight resources, and high expectations. Amanda shares how a legal mind mapped undocumented processes, separated statutory “musts” from inherited habits, and rebuilt the office around category management so expertise links directly to spend and supplier markets.We get into the nuts and bolts: using PeopleSoft for e-procurement and sourcing without piling on complexity, leaning on AI to distill 500-page documents into crisp briefs (with human review), and adopting OneNote to tame the flood of work that email and spreadsheets couldn't handle. Trust becomes the center of gravity. Amanda explains why fast acknowledgments, reliable follow-through, and monthly “Central Purchasing Listens” sessions turned an “ivory tower” into a responsive service partner. Skeptics on the team weren't ignored; they were invited into experiments with a simple promise—try it, measure it, change it if it fails within six months.Join us for a straight-talking playbook on modern public procurement: category management, transparent metrics, trust-building, and structured innovation that actually ships.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are significantly increasing their spending on cybersecurity solutions, with managed detection and response (MDR) and network detection and response (NDR) expected to grow by 107% and 118%, respectively. However, despite this financial commitment, a recent study reveals that 83% of SMBs do not conduct formal security awareness training, and nearly half lack established incident response protocols. This operational gap is concerning, as the average financial loss from a security incident for these businesses is estimated at $1.6 million. The study emphasizes that technology alone cannot address the underlying issues of process and expertise that leave many businesses vulnerable.Microsoft's sixth annual digital defense report highlights a troubling trend where over half of cyberattacks are now financially motivated, with ransomware and extortion being primary drivers. Critical public services, such as hospitals and local governments, are particularly at risk due to limited cybersecurity budgets and inadequate incident response capabilities. Nation-state actors are also evolving their tactics, with countries like China and North Korea increasing their cyber espionage efforts. Microsoft stresses the importance of organizations staying informed about threats and collaborating with industry peers to enhance their defenses.For managed service providers (MSPs), this situation presents a unique opportunity. Clients are investing in cybersecurity tools but require assistance in operationalizing these tools into effective security measures. MSPs can help by building processes, training personnel, and conducting tabletop exercises to ensure that businesses are not just purchasing products but are genuinely prepared for potential threats. The podcast emphasizes that cybersecurity is not merely about acquiring tools; it is fundamentally about preparedness and having a well-executed plan tailored to the business's needs.Additionally, the episode discusses recent product updates from various vendors, including Nerdio, SureWeb, and Veeam, which are introducing new AI tools and partner updates to enhance MSP operations. The importance of human capital in maintaining complex systems is also highlighted, particularly in light of Amazon's recent AWS outage, which was exacerbated by significant layoffs leading to a loss of institutional knowledge. The podcast concludes with a call for MSPs to audit their technology stacks and focus on the impact of workflows rather than just features, ensuring that they are prepared for any chaos that may arise. Four things to know today00:00 The Cybersecurity Paradox: SMBs Spend More Than Ever, But Stay Just as Vulnerable04:21 ConnectWise's Critical Automate Flaws Highlight the Growing Risk of On-Prem RMMs06:11 From Layoffs to Latency: Amazon's DNS Outage Reveals the True Cost of Lost Expertise09:06 AI, Compliance, and Cloud PCs: Vendors Race to Redefine MSP Efficiency Ahead of Microsoft's 2025 Shift This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

In this episode of The Crazy Wisdom Podcast, Stewart Alsop talks with Jacob Hall and Kyriakos Skiouris, co-founders of Agingo, about the evolution of blockchain from linear ledgers to volumetric, multi-agent architectures. Together they explore how concepts like sovereignty, auditability, and immutability can redefine trust, governance, and digital agency in both human and artificial systems. The conversation touches on blockchain's philosophical and technical frontiers—what an “AGI for blockchain” might mean, why immutability will matter in the age of AI, and how decentralization could restore autonomy without chaos.

Jacob Hall and Kyriakos Skiouris argue that traditional blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum are “choo-choo trains”—linear systems limited by their own history. Agingo's model introduces volumetric blockchain, where multiple agents and dimensions of time operate simultaneously, allowing for more secure, adaptive, and physics-like computation.Sovereignty depends on auditability at speed. True digital sovereignty, they suggest, isn't just owning your data but being able to verify it instantly. If you can't audit a transaction or vote in real time, you've lost control of it. Fast, transparent auditability becomes the foundation of autonomy and trust in digital systems.Language, contracts, and blockchains are all ledgers of meaning. The conversation reframes contracts as linguistic and symbolic structures—records of shared trust. Blockchain, in this light, is not just code but a living language that keeps history intact and immutable, anchoring truth in a world of mutable data.Bitcoin's promise was idealistic, but its structure is fragile. Hall recalls the early altruism of the Bitcoin community, contrasting it with the dogmatic, profit-driven culture that followed. The failure to evolve past linear design and ideological rigidity mirrors historical schisms in religion and governance.Immutability will become essential in the AI era. As AI systems learn to rewrite their own data, humans will crave immutable records. Blockchain's permanence provides a safeguard against subtle, undetectable shifts in digital reality—an anchor for truth as models become more autonomous.Volumetric systems mirror consciousness. Their design mimics the distributed, multi-agent nature of the human brain. Just as neurons work in parallel, a volumetric blockchain processes data through overlapping agents that validate one another, creating a kind of digital nervous system with emergent intelligence.Decentralization must include cultural and ethical intelligence. True progress, they conclude, isn't just technical—it's cultural. Without new forms of etiquette, communication, and mutual respect, decentralization risks reproducing the same hierarchies it seeks to replace. Blockchain's next leap must integrate human values with technological sovereignty.

As financial services accelerate their digital transformations, AI is reshaping how institutions identify, assess, and manage risk. But with that transformation comes an equally complex web of systemic risks, regulatory challenges, and questions about accountability. In this episode of the AI in Business podcast, host Matthew DeMello, Head of Content at Emerj, speaks with Miriam Fernandez, Director in the Analytical Innovation Team specializing in AI research at S&P Global Ratings, and Sudeep Kesh, Chief Innovation Officer at S&P Global Ratings. Together, they unpack how generative AI, agentic systems, and regulatory oversight are evolving within one of the most interconnected sectors of the global economy. The conversation explores how AI is amplifying both efficiency and exposure across financial ecosystems — from the promise of multimodal data integration in risk management to the growing challenge of concentration and contagion risks in increasingly digital markets. Miriam and Sudeep discuss how regulators are responding through risk-based frameworks such as the EU AI Act and DORA, and how the private sector is taking a larger role in ensuring transparency, compliance, and trust.
