In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa Fine speaks with Becky Rohr, Chief Compliance Officer and Head of Investigations at Ericsson. Becky talks about how her career journey led her to join Ericsson during a monitorship to strengthen their investigations function. To do that, she focused on conducting fair, thorough, and efficient investigations, enhancing investigator training, and improving processes for collecting and reviewing digital evidence within a global organization. This led to her being named Chief Compliance Officer at Ericsson and to the benefits of integrating investigations and compliance.  Not only did this lead to the continued evolution of their compliance function, but it also connected hotline reports, investigations, and remediation by using creative approaches to reinforcing ethics at Ericcson. Lisa and Becky also discuss how the Ericcson team has addressed workplace misconduct globally, sustaining compliance improvements after a monitorship ends, and the importance of leadership communication in maintaining a strong ethical culture. The conversation also touches on culture change, addressing workplace misconduct globally, and how organizations can sustain strong compliance programs even after regulatory oversight ends. Finally, Becky reflects on her decision to leave Ericsson and take a “power of the pause” moment before deciding on her next chapter—an approach that highlights the value of reflection and intentional career choices.

In this timely and eye-opening conversation, John Byrne sits down with leaders from the Charity & Security Network, EarthRights International, and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee to explore how the current U.S. AML/CFT environment is reshaping the operating reality for nonprofits. With the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) beginning its mutual evaluation of the United States, the stakes for civil society have never been higher. The guests unpack Recommendation 8, the rise of de-risking, expanding state and federal investigations, and how banks' compliance decisions—sometimes based on misinformation—can delay humanitarian assistance, hinder environmental advocacy, and even jeopardize lives. From faith-based organizations facing surprise information demands to environmental groups navigating criminalization and “eco‑terrorism” labels, this episode exposes the real-world consequences when financial regulations drift from a risk-based approach. The discussion closes with concrete takeaways for AML/CFT practitioners, emphasizing communication, due diligence, and the need for a deeper understanding of nonprofit missions.

Ungefragte Bikini-Bilder, Diskriminierung von Bewerberinnen: Wer bestimmt eigentlich, was KI darf und welche Fehler wir tolerieren? Technik, Recht und Compliance beantworten längst nicht alle Fragen. Der Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz berührt immer auch ethische Überlegungen, sagt Maximilian Kiener, Professor für KI-Ethik an der TU Hamburg. Als „der mit dem erhobenen Zeigefinger“ will er dabei nicht verstanden werden. Im Gegenteil: Er ist überzeugt, dass man bei der KI-Anwendung „nicht trotz, sondern mit Werten“ erfolgreich sein kann. Im CIO-Radio spricht Kiener mit Nicolas A. Zeitler darüber, wie sich die Verantwortung bei KI-Entscheidungen noch klar zuordnen lässt; warum die KI-Verordnung der EU nicht nur kritikwürdig ist und ob Firmen jetzt auch noch einen „Chief AI Ethics Officer“ brauchen.

Host: Annik Sobing Guests: Jennifer Varney (Volvo Group), Penny Chen (PAX) Recorded at: ICPA Conference, San Antonio, TX Published: March 2026 Length: ~25 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center AI Meets Trade Compliance: From Auto Supply Chains to AI Live from ICPA San Antonio, Annik sits down with Jennifer from Volvo Group and Penny from PAX for an all‑women, International Women's Day‑timed conversation about how AI is actually being used in trade compliance today—far beyond the buzzwords. They explore the reality of AI inside a massively complex automotive supply chain, how duty drawback is being reimagined with AI, and what trade teams should think about before buying or building any tools.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode Session highlights from ICPA Jennifer: Practical implementation of AI to support customs clearance at the enterprise level—how one company uses AI to survive an “ever‑changing and incredibly volatile” trade landscape. Penny: A “beginner‑friendly” intro to general AI tools, how large language models work, and how trade compliance leaders can evaluate AI quality and fit.​ The automotive reality: 1,000+ policy changes and thousands of parts In just the last year, there have been 1,000+ trade policy changes worldwide, affecting about 5 trillion dollars in spend. Most of the real impact comes from trade barrier changes, not facilitation measures. A single vehicle can have 2,000–3,000 parts sourced from thousands of suppliers globally, some in‑house, some external. New demands around Section 232 (steel/aluminum/copper), forced labor, EUDR, connected vehicle rules, dual‑use, etc. mean OEMs must know their supply base down to raw material origin and processing, sometimes 5–6 tiers deep.​ Why human-only workflows can't keep up Many tier‑1 suppliers don't even have the data OEMs now must report, or consider it proprietary. Trade teams are drowning in documentation, entry creation, and ever‑changing regulatory demands—falling behind risks blocked shipments and massive cost. Jennifer's view: AI is less about replacing people and more about augmenting limited resources before they're “buried under all of the legislative changes.”​ Where AI fits in (and where it doesn't) Example use case: consolidating multiple documents (PO, invoice, BL, shipping manifest) to build a single 7501—AI reads different formats, extracts the right fields, and populates data so humans review instead of retyping. Penny's rule of thumb: if it's a task you'd happily delegate to an intern, it's a candidate for automation or semi‑automation. AI frees people to focus on high‑value work: audits, wider coverage (5% → 99%), forecasting regulatory changes, and adjusting systems/processes for what's coming next.​ Starting your AI journey: practical adoption path Step 1: Use free or existing tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) for summaries, data cleaning, and simple tasks. Step 2: When needs get more complex, consider specialized AI tools (like PAX's AI‑powered duty drawback service), but pair them with solid ROI analysis: cost vs. time savings vs. recovered dollars. Step 3: For large enterprises, begin with defining pain points and a data strategy: Where do you spend the most time? Which activity is eating 90% of your bandwidth? What data will go into AI, and what exactly do you want back out?​ Overcoming fear and building buy‑in Penny's take: curiosity is your best ally—if you don't know how to use AI, start by asking AI how to use AI. Jennifer's advice: Engage stakeholders early; give them a voice in how the tool is designed and used. Set realistic expectations—even with aggressive automation, maybe only ~30% of workload can be automated today. Focus human effort on strategy and change management, not repetitive admin.​ Choosing the “right” AI for your team Not every company needs every AI—e.g., if you classify one item a month, a classification platform may not be worth it. For trade leaders, tool selection should be guided by: Where you lose the most time or money. Data type mix (text + structured data). Compliance/guardrail needs and vendor transparency about models and controls. Conferences like ICPA are key: they surface real use cases, connect trade and tech experts, and help teams refine what they actually need.​ International Women's Day Spotlight This episode also celebrates International Women's Day and highlights women leading in trade, tech, and compliance—from OEMs to AI startups. Annik closes with a shoutout to all women in trade who are building, leading, and pushing the industry forward.​ Credits Host: Annik Sobing Guests: Jennifer (Volvo Group), Penny (PAX) Recorded at: ICPA Conference, San Antonio, TX   Listen & Subscribe Simply Trade main page: https://simplytrade.podbean.com​ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-trade/id1640329690​ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/09m199JO6fuNumbcrHTkGq​ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8de7d7fa-38e0-41b2-bad3-b8a3c5dc4cda/simply-trade​ Connect with Simply Trade Podcast page: https://www.globaltrainingcenter.com/simply-trade-podcast​ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/simply-trade-podcast​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyTradePod​ Join the Trade Geeks Community Trade Geeks (by Global Training Center): https://globaltrainingcenter.com/trade-geeks/

Governance, Risk, and Compliance. Sounds official. Sounds structured. Sounds like you've got everything under control. But what if you've really just got the "R" and the "C" duct-taped together while governance is off somewhere on vacation? This episode breaks down why governance isn't just policies, committees, or fancy tools—it's the backbone that makes risk management and compliance actually work. If you've ever said, "We're doing security," but can't quite prove who decided what, who owns it, or whether it actually got done… this one's for you. More info at HelpMeWithHIPAA.com/550

Patients are saying "I'll think about it" more than ever — not because they don't want care, but because they can't see how to afford it. In this episode, Dr. Len Tau and Nancy Coy break down how dental practices can rebuild trust, improve the money conversation, and create a clear path from diagnosis to a confident "yes." Dr. Len Tau sits down with Nancy Coy of FinanceRx to talk about what really causes case acceptance breakdowns. They discuss why affordability is the #1 barrier for patients, how practices should structure lending options beyond just one provider, and why the money conversation must start earlier in the patient journey — even before the patient walks in. Nancy also shares compliance risks practices often overlook, and Dr. Len explains how offering the right financing at the right time can turn patients into lifelong raving fans.   What You'll Learn Why affordability is the biggest reason patients delay treatment How to respond when teams resist financing because of "fees" The difference between revolving credit vs installment loans When and how the money conversation should happen in the patient journey Why having multiple lenders (by credit tier and case size) matters The compliance pitfalls that can hurt your reputation and revenue How trust and transparency can dramatically increase case acceptance   Key Takeaways 00:44 Welcome and Sponsors 03:20 Nancy's Career Journey 05:40 Affordability Blocks Treatment 10:56 Diagnosis to Decision Gap 13:20 Building Patient Trust 18:10 Presenting Without Selling 22:10 Credit and Compliance 23:47 Smarter Lending Strategy 29:56 Avoiding Regulatory Risk 34:51 Inside FinanceRx 36:24 Lightning Round 39:20 Final Takeaways   — Connect with Nancy

Nigel Baker: Why Scrum Masters Should Be Measured on Outcomes, Impacts, and Team Happiness Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "No customer's going to come to you and say, do you know why I bought your product? Your remarkable compliance with your internal development process. What they're interested in is outcomes and impacts." - Nigel Baker   Nigel challenges the traditional ways of measuring Scrum Master success. He points to tools like the Nokia test—which, he jokes, was neither a test nor invented by Nokia—as examples of process fidelity assessments that miss the point entirely. Compliance with a process tells you nothing about whether customers are satisfied or whether the team is delivering value. Instead, Nigel argues for measuring Scrum Masters on outcomes and impacts: customer satisfaction, revenue generation, and efficiencies—the same things a Product Owner gets judged on.  But he adds a crucial dimension that POs often overlook: team happiness. Not as an end goal, but as a leading indicator. Happy teams don't leave. Happy teams do better work. Team contentness is a KPI that signals whether the deeper success factors are in place. When your team is deeply unhappy, no amount of velocity or story completion will save you from attrition and decline.   Self-reflection Question: How are you currently measuring your success as a Scrum Master—on process compliance, or on the outcomes, impacts, and wellbeing your team actually delivers? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Keep It Fresh—A Different Format Every Sprint Nigel's answer to the "favorite retrospective format" question is deliberately controversial: he doesn't have one. His approach is to use a different format every single sprint. Retrospective formats, he argues, "age like milk"—by Sprint 12, asking "what should we do differently?" with the same structure produces diminishing returns. Novelty creates energy. He sometimes gets teams to invent their own formats, which produces some of the most forensic and intense retrospectives he's seen—teams building "superweapons" and then realizing they have to turn those weapons on themselves. But Nigel's most practical tip is using retrospective techniques inside the Sprint Review. The Review is a product retrospective, and stakeholders shouldn't sit "like Roman emperors in the Colosseum, watching the developers as gladiators." Instead, use facilitation methods to extract "sweet, juicy, honey-flavoured feedback" from stakeholders about what they'd change in the product.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Compliance and regulatory reporting used to mean endless spreadsheets, fragmented data sources, and teams drowning in manual work. Today, AI is transforming how the world's largest companies manage financial reporting, sustainability disclosures, and audit workflows—not by replacing humans, but by giving them time back to do strategic work. In this episode of IT Visionaries, host Chris Brandt sits down with Kim Huffman, CIO of Workiva, the platform used by 85% of the Fortune 100 for critical financial and compliance reporting. Kim shares her unique perspective as both a former Workiva customer and now the CIO steering the company into an AI-powered future. They explore how the office of the CFO is evolving under pressure from new sustainability regulations, how AI governance actually works in practice, and why collaboration between IT, finance, sustainability, and risk teams has become essential. Kim also discusses the changing role of the CIO, the coming wave of autonomous agents in the workplace, and why having more data doesn't always mean making better decisions.   Key Moments: 00:58 – The State of Compliance Today 02:18 – Why Standards and Regulations Matter 05:48 – The Complexity of Global Compliance 07:36 – Data Collection Across Teams 08:36 – Single Source of Truth 10:20 – The Sustainability Data Challenge 13:36 – The Endless Spreadsheet Problem 16:12 – What's Driving the CFO Office 19:46 – AI's Strategic Role at Workiva 23:02 – Beyond Repetitive Tasks 25:20 – Transforming How Teams Work 27:03 – Will AI Replace Jobs or Create Capacity? 30:00 – Measuring AI's Business Impact 33:06 – Speed vs. Data Overload 36:25 – The Evolving Role of the CIO 40:00 – Technology Leadership in Transition 43:09 – The Next Five Years for CIOs 46:14 – Managing the Coming Wave of AI Agents 50:02 – AI Will Create Its Own Security Industry 52:26 – The Sustainability Reporting Reality 55:31 – Resource Constraints and AI Consumption 57:34 – Why ESG Data Is Now Critical Business Intelligence 59:23 – Keeping NPS High While Innovating   -- This episode of IT Visionaries is brought to you by Meter - the company building better networks.

When employees hear “employee benefits,” they might think of healthcare, perks, wellness programs, PTO, 401(k) plans or disability coverage. But when HR professionals hear “employee benefits,” they're likely thinking about cost management, compensation strategies, open enrollment, and—most importantly—compliance. Compliance is a cornerstone of today's insurance landscape. With that in mind, let's dive into your March 2026 breakdown of Compliance in Minutes.

What could happen if a renewable energy project fails to meet new NERC compliance requirements? In some cases, penalties can reach up to $1 million per day per violation.In this special episode of Navigating the Grid, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded for the Clean Energy Edge Podcast, where Kellie Macpherson, EVP of Compliance & Security at Radian Generation, joined host Russ Bates to discuss the evolving compliance landscape for renewable energy.Starting May 1, 2026, inverter-based resources (IBRs) rated 20 MW or greater and connected at 60 kV or higher must register under updated North American Electric Reliability Corporation Category 2 requirements. The compliance threshold is dropping from 75 MW to 20 MW, dramatically expanding federal oversight across solar, wind, and battery storage projects.In this episode, Kellie breaks down what the rule change means, which projects will be affected, and why compliance now extends beyond paperwork to include operational readiness, cybersecurity monitoring, and audit preparedness.As renewables take on a larger role in grid reliability, understanding these requirements is becoming essential for operators, developers, and investors alike.

A quieter federal enforcement environment presents both risk and opportunity. On this episode of Environmental Law Monitor, Daniel Pope and Tim Wilkins explore how companies should respond. While EPA enforcement actions have declined, the underlying statutes, regulations and permits remain in force. The five-year federal statute of limitations means that today's violations may be tomorrow's enforcement targets.The episode focuses on practical strategies such as: reinforcing compliance cultureleveraging audit toolsensuring corrective actions are both effective and well documentedDaniel and Tim highlight continued scrutiny from state agencies and non-governmental organizations, reminding companies that enforcement exposure extends beyond EPA.

Americans are dying—and we all pay the price. In this episode of Faith & Freedom, we sit down with voices willing to say what others won't. From fentanyl devastating families in small towns, to lives upended after a single national moment was locked into an untouchable story, to the reminder that faith—not fear—is what carries us through loss and uncertainty. 0:00 – 24:00 | Steve Gruber: Fentanyl Isn't a "Crisis"—It's a Count How many deaths does it take before we start calling fentanyl what it is? Steve Gruber walks through the real toll fentanyl is taking on American families, from empty seats at dinner tables to communities hollowed out, and a refusal to confront the scale of what's happening while the damage keeps spreading.   24:01 – 34:21 | Terry Newsome:  Watchlists, Compliance & the Cost of Questioning What happens when you don't accept the story as it's handed to you? Terry Newsome explains how one national moment was declared settled and how ordinary Americans paid the price for asking questions. From quiet watchlists to lives disrupted, this is what happens when truth becomes conditional and compliance is rewarded.   34:22 – End | Pastor Anthony Thomas & Shemane: Faith That Holds When Answers Run Out What carries you when loss is real and certainty disappears?

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa Fine talks with Trish Ashman, Senior Director of Ethics & Compliance (AMEA & APAC) at Cushman & Wakefield, about resilience, integrity, and knowing when it's time to move on. Trish shares her journey from private practice in London to Singapore and into the Ethics and Compliance space. Trish was at Wirecard and then at Twitter, both of which had her working through two major corporate crises – the fraud at Wirecard and the ownership change at Twitter. Trish candidly shares her experiences and lessons learned from both of those roles. At Wirecard, she stayed to support employees during the collapse, focused on fairness and doing what she could to make a difference. At Twitter, after the acquisition dramatically reshaped the company and its compliance function, she considered whether she could still meaningfully influence ethical decision-making and if this role aligned with her values. This episode is an honest conversation about ethics and compliance as a calling, resilience as a muscle, and how these experiences shaped Trish and helped her become resilient and find a role where she would thrive.

In this episode of our Litigation Lens podcast series, Shareholders Michael Nail (Greenville) and Sarah Zucco (New York) analyze Dudnauth v. A.B.C. Carpet & Home Inc., a case from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York involving disability discrimination and wage and hour claims under New York state law. Michael and Sarah discuss how the court granted summary judgment on the plaintiff's discrimination and overtime claims based largely on his own deposition testimony admitting he could not work and did not exceed 40 hours per week, while denying summary judgment on the pay frequency claim due to a genuine dispute over whether he qualified as a “manual worker” entitled to weekly pay. In this episode, the speakers highlight key takeaways for employers on the importance of maintaining payroll records, understanding state-specific wage requirements, and the fact-intensive nature of disability accommodation and exemption analyses.

Hosts: Renee Chiuchiarelli & Julie Parks Length: ~15 minutes Format: Simply Trade Tips Episode Summary Welcome to Series 6 of Simply Trade Tips. This series tackles a foundational — and often overlooked — issue in global trade: Where does Customs actually sit inside your organization? In this opening episode, Renee and Julie lay the groundwork by breaking down the three most common organizational structures and how each one impacts customs operations, compliance authority, budgeting, and risk management. Because here's the truth: Customs rarely fails because people don't care. It fails because it's structurally misaligned. This episode sets the foundation for understanding how org structure dictates decision-making, funding, escalation paths, and ultimately — compliance outcomes. Why Org Structure Matters for Customs Customs sits in the middle of everything: Procurement Finance Logistics Legal Tax Sales & contracts Export operations Yet it rarely “owns” all the decisions that affect it. That misalignment can create compliance gaps, conflicting priorities, and operational tension between speed and governance. Follow the money. Follow the reporting lines. That's where risk lives. The Three Core Organizational Structures 1️⃣ Centralized (Functional) Structure Definition: Departments operate in defined lanes (Supply Chain, Finance, Legal, Sales), each with its own leadership. Where Customs Usually Sits: Under Supply Chain Under Legal Occasionally under a dedicated Trade Compliance function Upside: Clear ownership Defined reporting line Often its own budget (if structured well) Downside: Under Supply Chain → can become overly execution-focused (velocity & cost driven) Under Legal → can become overly compliance-focused and disconnected from operations If no independent budget → strategy becomes fragmented Key theme: Budget authority drives strategic control. 2️⃣ Decentralized (Divisional) Structure Definition: Trade responsibilities are spread across business units, regions, or product lines. Each division may manage its own customs activity. Upside: Faster decision-making Direct access to business leaders Local agility Downside: Inconsistent processes across divisions Requires corporate oversight or council to maintain standards Heavy reliance on influence rather than authority This model works — but it requires strong coordination and governance discipline. 3️⃣ Matrix (Hybrid) Structure Definition: Dual reporting lines — often operationally to Supply Chain, dotted line to Legal, Tax, or Finance. This is where many global organizations land. Reality of the Matrix: Multiple “bosses” Consensus-driven decisions Speed vs. compliance tension Performance reviews may not align with dotted-line accountability Success in a matrix requires: Clear budget ownership Clear escalation paths Strong consensus-building skills Mature leadership alignment Without alignment, it becomes a tug-of-war between execution and governance. Customs Operations vs. Customs Compliance A critical distinction discussed in this episode: Customs Operations: Entry filings ACE submissions Broker management Day-to-day problem solving Customs Compliance: Classification governance Valuation methodology Origin policy Audit strategy Risk tolerance Julie and Renee strongly advocate for structural separation of these roles — even in small teams. Why? Operations finds errors. Compliance fixes root causes. Both must cross-communicate consistently. When they don't align, friction, inefficiency, and risk increase. Real-World Red Flags Renee and Julie call out four common structural warning signs:

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore it more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly look at the recently announced new Southern District of New York standard for Declinations. They look at SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton's newly released self-disclosure/cooperation/declination policy and its implications for corporate compliance. While the core elements, prompt voluntary disclosure, cooperation, remediation, and restitution, mirror existing DOJ expectations, they highlight a significant change: SDNY now treats “aggravated circumstances” as certain categories of crimes that are categorically ineligible for declinations, including foreign corruption/FCPA, sanctions evasion, terrorism, sex trafficking with minors, smuggling, drug cartels, and forced labor, rather than focusing on offense traits such as senior management involvement or recidivism. They note potential inconsistencies with DOJ's corporate enforcement approach, uncertainty about disclosure timing despite references to promptness and pre-investigation disclosure, broad discretion in enforcement, and the risk of forum shopping.

Navigating the Digital Shift: Maximizing Engagement and Delivery with Geoffrey BlancIn a world where digital communication is the heartbeat of business growth, the challenge for modern entrepreneurs is no longer just sending a message—it's ensuring that message resonates and actually arrives. In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Geoffrey Blanc, the General Manager of Cyberimpact, to discuss the evolving landscape of email marketing and Canadian anti-spam legislation (CASL). Their conversation dives deep into the strategic necessity of choosing platform partners that prioritize compliance and deliverability, particularly for businesses navigating the unique regulatory environments of North America. Geoffrey shares how a focus on simplicity and local expertise can transform a standard marketing tool into a high-powered engine for customer retention and brand authority.Cultivating Compliance and Connection in a Saturated MarketFor many North American businesses, the "set it and forget it" mentality of global email platforms often leads to accidental non-compliance with regional laws like CASL or Quebec's Bill 25. Geoffrey explains that the true value of a specialized platform lies in its ability to act as a regulatory safeguard, automatically managing consent and bilingual requirements that generic competitors often overlook. By offloading the technical burden of compliance to a dedicated partner, founders can refocus their energy on crafting high-value content rather than worrying about the legalities of their subscriber lists. This shift from "mass blasting" to "intelligent segmenting" ensures that marketing efforts are not only legal but also deeply respectful of the recipient's inbox.Email deliverability has become a sophisticated game of reputation management, where the technical infrastructure of your provider is just as important as the subject line of your email. Geoffrey points out that as major providers like Google and Yahoo tighten their authentication requirements, the "middleman" role of the email service provider (ESP) has become critical. A high-quality ESP maintains a pristine sender reputation by strictly vetting its users and providing the necessary SPF, DKIM, and DMARC tools. This technical backbone is what prevents a carefully crafted campaign from disappearing into a "black hole" or being flagged as spam, directly impacting the ROI of every lead generation effort a business undertakes.Beyond the technical hurdles, the most successful entrepreneurs are those who treat email as a tool for relationship building rather than a simple distribution channel. Geoffrey advocates for a "less is more" approach, where the focus is on simplicity and ease of use—both for the marketer and the end-user. Whether it's using automated "welcome" sequences to nurture new leads or leveraging bilingual templates to serve a diverse customer base, the goal is to reduce friction at every touchpoint. In an era where digital noise is at an all-time high, the businesses that stand out are those that provide consistent, compliant, and clearly delivered value directly to their audience's most private digital space: the inbox.About Geoffrey BlancGeoffrey Blanc is the General Manager of Cyberimpact, a leading Canadian email marketing platform designed specifically for small businesses and organizations. With an extensive background in digital strategy and platform management, Geoffrey is a recognized expert on Canadian anti-spam legislation (CASL) and Quebec's Bill 25. He is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs simplify their marketing workflows while staying 100% compliant with evolving data privacy laws.About CyberimpactCyberimpact is an intuitive email marketing solution that prioritizes simplicity, deliverability, and compliance. Based in Canada, the platform is uniquely positioned to help North American businesses navigate strict anti-spam regulations while providing a bilingual interface and local support. Cyberimpact helps thousands of organizations build stronger customer relationships through professional newsletters, automated sequences, and robust contact management tools.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeCyberimpact Official WebsiteGeoffrey Blanc on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsCASL and Bill 25 Compliance: Why generic global platforms may leave North American businesses vulnerable to heavy fines and how to automate your regulatory safety.The Deliverability "Black Hole": Understanding the technical infrastructure required to ensure your emails bypass spam filters and land in the primary inbox.Simplifying the Workflow: How to move away from over-engineered marketing tools toward a platform that emphasizes ease of use and rapid campaign deployment.Bilingual Marketing Strategy: Leveraging dual-language capabilities to effectively reach and respect diverse demographics in the Canadian and US markets.Consent Management: The strategic importance of maintaining a clean, "opt-in" list to protect your sender reputation and long-term marketing ROI.ConclusionThis conversation with Geoffrey Blanc underscores that in the digital age, your choice of tools is a direct reflection of your brand's integrity. By prioritizing deliverability and regional compliance, you ensure that your message is not just sent, but heard by the people who matter most to your business.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Phil Brown and Steve Smith delve into the realm of safety science, exploring its evolution and the importance of a positive approach to safety management. They discuss the need to reframe risk and safety, emphasizing learning from successes rather than just focusing on failures. The conversation highlights the shift from compliance-based safety protocols to a culture of continuous improvement and learning, ultimately fostering a more humane and effective safety environment.   Safety science uses scientific methods to improve safety management. Learning from successes is as important as learning from failures. A positive approach to safety management can enhance outcomes. Organizations should focus on what goes right, not just what goes wrong. Continuous learning can occur without waiting for tragedies to happen. The traditional top-down approach to safety is outdated. Safety management should be about learning, not blame. Creating a culture of safety involves open communication and trust. Compliance is necessary, but it shouldn't be the only focus. The shift towards a more humanistic approach to safety is essential.

It's huge, and serious.Its implications may impact millions, even beyond the halls of healthcare. In fact, it's the eighth-largest healthcare-related cybersecurity breach in U.S. history.In Texas alone, 15.4 million residents were involved – nearly half the state's population. Oregon reports another 10.5 million. Other states are still notifying residents. The final number may climb even higher. The stolen data reportedly includes names, Social Security Numbers, medical information, and health insurance details.Reporting the details of this enormous data breach during the next episode of Talk Ten Tuesdays will be the legendary Rose Dunn, former president of the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA).Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:POV: Penny Jefferson, Director of Coding & Clinical Documentation Integrity Services for the University of Davis Medical Center, will share her point of view during the broadcast.CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson will provide an update on clinical documentation integrity (CDI).The Coding Report: Christine Geiger will report on the latest coding news.News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.

What does it really take to lead meaningful change in schools — not just adopt new strategies, but fundamentally shift practice? In this powerful conversation, Zaretta Hammond joins Lindsay on the Time for Teachership podcast to discuss her latest book, Rebuilding Students' Learning Power: Teaching for Instructional Equity and Cognitive Justice. Together, we explore what it means to pursue cognitive justice, why change is so difficult in schools, and how instructional leaders can move beyond surface-level reforms toward true transformation. Zaretta challenges leaders to examine the mental models and explanatory stories that drive their decisions. She explains why many well-intentioned reforms — even progressive ones — can unintentionally maintain cognitive redlining. Most importantly, she offers a roadmap for leading change that centers students as learners, not just participants. This is not a conversation about adding one more strategy. It's about rethinking the recipe.   Key Takeaways 1. Cognitive Justice as the Dream Zaretta's vision for education is rooted in cognitive justice — ensuring every student becomes a powerful, independent learner. Colonization and systemic inequities have historically underdeveloped the cognitive capacity of marginalized communities through invisible sorting mechanisms. Instructional equity requires intentionally countering those systems.  2. Resetting Mental Models Change does not begin with new strategies. It begins with interrogating the explanatory stories we tell ourselves: What narratives do we hold about students and families? Where did those beliefs originate? How do those stories drive our instructional decisions? Leaders must first collect and examine the stories circulating in their schools before attempting transformation. 3. From Pedagogy of Compliance to Pedagogy of Possibility Many school systems still operate within a "grammar of schooling" that hasn't shifted in over a century. Pacing guides, engagement checklists, and surface-level reforms often reinforce compliance rather than build learning power. The shift requires: Integrating "learning how to learn" skills into curriculum pacing Designing classrooms as cognitive apprenticeships Creating productive struggle Moving students from novice → journeyman → mastery 4. Beware of Poor Proxies for Learning Observable engagement does not equal learning. Students repeating learning targets, appearing busy, or using the right jargon can create an illusion of learning. Leaders must develop a science-of-learning lens to avoid being misled by these poor proxies. Professionalism in education requires ongoing inquiry into instruction — not just strategy adoption.   Get Your Episode Freebie & More Resources On My Website: https://www.lindsaybethlyons.com/blog/247    Connect With Guest Zaretta Hammond: Website: www.ready4rigor.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zaretta-hammond-2b122ba/

What if being “good” was never meant to protect us?In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by the incredible Savala Nolan (back for the second time) to talk about her new book Good Woman: A Reckoning, which is a lyrical, unflinching exploration of the expectations placed on women's bodies, voices, marriages, appetites, and lives.We explore what happens when the bargain of goodness stops “working” and what becomes possible when we refuse it.Tune in for more on:* The myth that being “good” (thin, quiet, agreeable) will keep women safe* Midlife as rupture: dieting, divorce, and the unraveling of social conditioning* Body liberation as a daily practice — especially in the age of GLP-1s* What it means to become “illegible” to misogynistic culture* Raising daughters who are fluent in their bodies, not afraid of themThis is a conversation about wilderness, refusal, and the kind of freedom that feels both exciting and terrifying because of its importance and truth.Find Savala on IG: https://www.instagram.com/savalanolan/Order "Good Woman" here: https://savalanolan.com/Savala's Substack: https://savala.substack.com/Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

In this episode, I shares the real story behind building a sustainable hard-goods brand in the pet industry, unpacking the engineering, manufacturing, certification, and financial trade-offs that most people never see. From design constraints and material decisions to B Corp, 1% for the Planet, and sustainability reporting, this is an honest founder-level look at what it actually takes to balance environmental ambition with business reality, and why sustainability is a discipline, not a label.Timestamps to relevant points within the episode, use this format:[00:00] The Question Most Consumers Never Ask[02:10] From Sustainability Advisor to Bootstrapped Founder[04:45] Progress vs Perfection in Sustainable Business[07:30] The 4-Pillar Sustainability Framework (Environment, People, Economy, Culture)[10:15] Why Sustainability Lives in Engineering Constraints[12:00] Designing for Longevity (And the Business Model Tension)[14:20] Care-Centered Design & Piper's Physiotherapy Moment[16:30] Material Trade-Offs: Why Bamboo Wasn't the Right Choice[19:00] Certifications Explained: What Actually Matters[21:30] 1% for the Planet & Financial Accountability[23:10] FSC Packaging, REACH & Compliance[24:45] B Corp: Why It's Not a Day One Certification[26:30] Sustainability Reporting & Measurement[27:40] Why Profit Is Oxygen in Sustainable Business[29:00] Celebrating Brands That Are Doing the Work[30:00] Final Thoughts & Community InvitationLinks from the episodes:1% for the PlanetPrevious Mama Earth Talk Episode with the CEO of 1% for the Planet, Kate WilliamsPet Sustainability CoalitionB Corp CertificationForest Stewardship Council (FSC) ISO 14001 Environmental Management SystemsCradle to Cradle CertificationMama Earth Talk Online CourseKey Takeaways:• Sustainable product development is not theoretical, it's constrained by tooling costs, manufacturing realities, minimum order quantities, and cash flow.• A structured sustainability framework (Environment, People, Economy, Culture) is your decision-making filter when trade-offs get hard.• Perfection can become paralysis, progress with sequencing is often more impactful than waiting for “100% sustainable.”• Sustainability in hard goods lives in engineering decisions, not marketing language.• Designing for longevity reduces waste, but can reduce repeat purchases. That's a business model tension founders must face.• The “most sustainable-looking” material isn't always the most appropriate one. Context matters.• Certifications are validation layers, not starting point, they should align with operational readiness and financial stability.• Material compliance (FDA, REACH, BPA-free) is foundational and often more important than flashy badges.• Sustainability reporting turns intention into measurement, and measurement drives accountability.• Profit isn't the enemy of sustainability, it's oxygen. Without financial viability, environmental ambition can collapses.• Transparency builds trust when it shows process, not perfection.• Celebrating brands that are doing the structural work shifts incentives across the industry.• Sustainability isn't a label, it's an ongoing discipline.

Enterprise risk leaders are currently struggling to move beyond static, episodic checklists while managing the data "fire hose" generated by continuous monitoring. In this episode, Dean Alms, Chief Product Officer, and Eric Hensley, Chief Technology Officer at Aravo, break down how AI-native orchestration transforms fragmented risk data into a holistic, board-level resilience strategy. They examine practical shifts toward exception-based monitoring, the automation of rote tasks like document ingestion, and the necessity of governing "responsible AI" practices within the vendor ecosystem.
