Podcasts about General counsel

How do cybercriminals convince even informed and digitally aware people to trust them? And what can businesses and individuals do before their credentials fall into the wrong hands? In this episode of The Daily Lawyer Podcast, we speak with Udit Pahwa, Chief Information Officer at Blue Star, about cybersecurity, digital fraud, password security and the growing responsibility of businesses to protect personal data. A Chartered Accountant by qualification and a technologist at heart, Udit traces his journey from finance and accounting to enterprise technology and eventually to becoming a CIO. He also explains how the role of the CIO has evolved from managing hardware and software to solving business problems, managing digital risk and working closely with legal, governance and compliance teams. The conversation takes us inside some striking real-world examples of cyber fraud. We discuss how data breaches often begin with compromised credentials, why administrative access is particularly dangerous, and how multi-factor authentication, password managers and the principle of least privilege can reduce risk. Udit also offers practical advice for small businesses, consumers and senior citizens; recounts his own experience of receiving a convincing courier scam call; and explains why taking a moment to pause and verify can prevent serious financial loss. The conversation also examines the Digital Personal Data Protection framework, the technology required to manage personal data responsibly and the questions every board should be asking about cybersecurity and digital resilience.

Alistair Day is General Counsel for International at AECOM, the US-headquartered construction and engineering business, leading a team of 65 lawyers across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia and New Zealand. He joined AECOM seven years ago and stepped into the international GC role three years ago, having started out covering the UK and Ireland before his remit grew to include India, Europe, and beyond. Before AECOM, Alistair trained as a litigator and made partner in private practice, before moving in-house to Bechtel.In this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law, Alistair talks about what makes for a genuinely embedded legal function, why the litigator-to-in-house move is often underrated, and how AECOM is putting AI and legal ops to work.His three lessons: first, confidence in having a voice — the best in-house lawyers don't just advise on the legal risk, they engage with what the business is trying to achieve, and that confidence builds over time and repeated exposure to the exec table. Second, flexibility and embracing change — there's never been a more exciting time to be an in-house lawyer, but that means genuinely engaging with AI and technology rather than assuming the job stays the same. Third, have a real passion for the industry you're in — people can tell whether a lawyer actually cares about what the business does, and that interest is what earns trust and buy-in.He also shares due-diligence questions for lawyers considering a move in-house — including whether legal reviews decisions or actually approves them — and reflects on why litigators often make excellent in-house hires.This episode is brought to you in partnership with Wordsmith AI — the legal AI platform built specifically for in-house teams.Resources & Links Mentioned in This EpisodeRegister your interest in joining The Lodge In-house Legal Community: https://bit.ly/TheLodgebyHBHeriot Brown: https://heriotbrown.com/Wordsmith AI: https://www.wordsmith.ai/Legal Engineering Project Application form: https://wordsmith.fillout.com/legalengprojectListen to the PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/61xrrepWuWxNsnXIaYxsj5Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-i-learned-in-law/id1563397804YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@HeriotBrownInHouseRecruitmentConnect with Heriot Brownhttps://heriotbrown.com/About Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

Introduction Ask an insurance operator to write down how a policy endorsement actually gets processed, and you will usually get about six steps. The real number is closer to fifty. The other forty-four live in the head of whoever has been doing the job longest, and they leave when that person does. Giancarlo Stanton, Co-Founder and CEO of Magiq, has built a company around that gap. His argument is that you have to know what the process actually is before you automate it, and most operations don't. The industry is buying agents to handle work nobody has written down, which is how you end up with a system whose decisions nobody can explain. In this episode, Josh Hollander and Giancarlo get into what it takes to pull a process out of a competent person's head, why the exceptions matter more than the normal path, and what changed in one support operation once someone finally mapped the work. Guest Bio Giancarlo Stanton is Co-Founder and CEO of Magiq. He started in complex commercial litigation, moved in-house, and became General Counsel and VP of Claims at Swyfft before serving as Chief Operating Officer at Cover Whale. Along the way he advised Obie, FRG Specialty, and Sunfish. That path put him in the back office of regulated businesses during periods of fast growth, which is where he formed the view that the minutiae are the whole game. He founded Magiq with Nick Eich, previously at Groupon and then on the engineering team at Kin, to build the thing he kept needing as an operator: a way to go from what should get done to proof that it actually happened. Key Topics -Your best people cannot describe their own jobs - When something becomes routine it becomes invisible, so asking an expert to write down what they do all day produces a partial answer at best. -The mirror problem - Magiq shows an organization its own process as steps one through fifty, and the response is almost always that leadership knew about step one and step fifty and assumed the rest. -Insurance runs as an ecosystem, not as silos - When billing misses a cancellation for nonpayment, claims pays a loss that should never have existed, which is why Giancarlo argues point solutions aimed at one function cannot fix the operation. -The exceptions are where the value sits - The flat cancel and rewrite that one person handles differently today than yesterday is what turns a bordereau into a conversation with your reinsurer about why the math doesn't math. -What mapping the work actually did - A support operation went from a one-in-five call response rate and an 8.8 day email response time to 96-97% call response and 5.8 hours, seven months in. -Sales is a process too - Mapping the inbound lead decision tree and empowering producers to end calls that were never a fit drove a 23% improvement in per-producer output and a $10 million gross written premium lift over a seven month engagement. -The staffing question - Giancarlo makes the case that doing more with the team you have lands better with buyers than headcount reduction, and that a business only profitable with no employees was never really profitable. Notable Quotes "You can't automate things you don't understand. And that, I think, is just objectively true. But that doesn't stop people from trying." "No one is sitting there running a business saying, I need more AI. They're saying, I need less cost, or I need more sales, or ideally both. And probably fewer errors." "People don't do things incorrectly because they want to. They do things incorrectly or inefficiently because they think they're doing them correctly, but it's eight thirty at night and it's their fiftieth endorsement." "If the only way your business is profitable is for there to be no employees, then you probably just don't have a profitable business to begin with." "It's really about making sure the mistakes don't happen, not making sure the people aren't there."

What if the president can act before Congress has time to stop him?As former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, former General Counsel of the Department of Defense, and a member of the National Security Council, Jeh Johnson has advised presidents on war, terrorism, cyber threats, and some of the country's most consequential national security decisions.He has seen what happens when the pressure to “do something” collides with incomplete intelligence, rapidly changing facts, political pressure, and enormous presidential power.He discusses:● Why “Mr. President, do something” can be dangerous advice● Why Congress has only formally declared war in only five conflicts in U.S. history● How much military force a president can order without first going to Congress● What happens to constitutional checks and balances when weapons can strike in minutes● Why presidential power looks different from inside the Oval Office● What actually happens inside the Situation Room when the intelligence is incomplete and the stakes are enormous● The threat that worries him the mostThe Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. But modern military strikes and warfare can move extraordinarily fast. So who can stop a president from starting a war? Where are the limits on presidential power when a decision has to be made in minutes? And when the law leaves enormous discretion in the hands of one person, how much ultimately depends on that person's judgment and restraint?

What people say about you when you're not in the room matters. Raymond Sanchez Jr. has seen that play out throughout a career shaped by relationships, mentorship, and people willing to put his name forward because they trusted how he would show up. It is also a lesson he learned early from his father, Raymond Sanchez Sr., who taught him to have a plan, think ahead, and understand that what you know matters, but so does who you know.Ray was only 22 when his father, a union carpenter working at the World Trade Center, was killed on September 11th. In the aftermath, Ray found himself navigating the legal process to establish his father's death, an experience that ultimately helped lead him to law school. Twenty-five years later, his father's example still shows up in the way Ray thinks about service, integrity, and whether he is leaving things better than he found them. He is equally intentional about making sure his father is remembered for who he was, not simply for what happened to him on September 11th.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar sits down with Ray to discuss the people and experiences that shaped his career, why doing the right thing when nobody is looking remains central to his personal brand, and how his father continues to influence the choices he makes today. They also reflect on their shared experience of losing a parent on September 11th and why telling their parents' stories matters if their legacies will be more than names on a wall.1:13 – What personal brand means to Ray, three words he'd use to describe himself, his two favorite quotes, and his hype music6:38 – How a childhood in the NYCHA buildings of the Lower East Side forged Ray's code of ethics12:47 – The internship that quietly connected Ray to politicians, Broadway royalty, and two decades of career opportunities19:43 – The exhausting, bureaucratic maze of proving his father's life ever existed, just to get what Ray was legally owed22:24 – Going to law school and working at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.28:13 – The one thing to consider before accepting any job offer, and the roles Ray took on doing meaningful work in the Hispanic community37:53 – A perfect demonstration of how personal branding is about what people say about (whether you're in or out of the room)41:00 – Why Ray ran for NYC Council District 7, joined a non-profit six weeks before federal investigators raided it, and became its new executive director51:49 – Why Ray almost lost his cool with a city bureaucrat over the phone57:19 – Raymond Sanchez Sr. as a man and a father, and what his son Ray remembers most about him1:03:39 – The morning of September 11th through Ray's eyes, and his father's quiet act of heroism that day1:11:32 – The dehumanization of the 9/11 victim's compensation fund, and how that experience proved to be a turning point that led Ray to law school1:18:26 – How losing his dad the way he did turned Ray into who he is now1:21:31 – Standing up for our communities as legacy, and why the phrase “victims' families” never told the whole story1:24:19 – Pushing back against being only defined by 9/11, why it took 15 years for Ray to talk about that day and tell his father's story1:28:15 – The joyful, fun parts of Ray today that his dad would recognize and be proud of1:30:54 – What ethics demands of you when nobody's watching, and Ray's special talent to quickly synthesize complexityConnect With Raymond Sanchez Jr.Raymond Sanchez Jr., Esq. has spent two decades building a career at the intersection of law, government, and public advocacy — moving fluidly between City Hall, the private sector, and the nonprofit boardroom in ways that have repeatedly put him in the room where a crisis needed a steady hand. He most recently served as General Counsel to the NYC Mayor's Office of Contract Services, advising the City's Chief Procurement Officer on citywide policy and compliance. Before that, he was appointed CEO of Aguila, Inc., a NYC homeless services nonprofit, where he led the organization through a New York State Attorney General investigation and a pandemic-era transformation of a 200-bed shelter into the city's largest COVID quarantine center. His earlier chapters include Managing Director at Mercury Public Affairs, Principal of his own government relations firm, and seven years as General Counsel and Director of Policy to the Bronx Borough President, where he helped pass NYC's Living Wage Law and secured the conveyance of the Fulton Correctional Facility for a first-of-its-kind reentry housing program.A first-generation Latino leader, Raymond holds a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law and a B.A. in Government from Wesleyan University, and serves on the board of Areté Education and as a special advisor to the La Unidad Latina Foundation. He is a two-time honoree on NYC "40 Under 40" lists and a recipient of the Council of Urban Professionals' Law Catalyst Award.LinkedIn | InstagramMentioned In How Raymond Sanchez Jr. Honors His Father's Legacy 25 Years After September 11Hispanic FederationLatino JusticeThe Boys Club of New York (BCNY)9/11 Memorial & MuseumCurated Resources from PaulaSign up for Paula's Upcoming Events Learn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferSubscribe to The Branding Room Only podcast on YouTubeCall to ActionFollow & Review: Help others find the podcast.

The CME is suing its own regulator over how perps get classified, and the ruling decides who in the US can trade them.

At stake is a single word: is a perpetual futures contract a swap, locked to institutional trading desks, or a future, open to any retail trader in the US? Cathy Yoon, General Counsel at Temporal, Tiffany J. Smith, Partner at WilmerHale, and Jake Chervinsky, CEO of Hyperliquid Policy Center, join Laura Shin at the Real World Assets Summit to make the case for futures. The CME was invited onto the panel to argue its side, but Yoon called their last-minute decision to bow out as "cowardice." They dig into the CFTC's recent approval of true perpetual futures for Coinbase and Kalshi, the running jurisdictional split between the CFTC and SEC, and Bloomberg's report that Hyperliquid is in talks to come onshore through Kraken's Bitnomial. Chervinsky argues Hyperliquid isn't an exchange at all, just neutral infrastructure any exchange could use.  Yoon closes with a warning: most of Capitol Hill, she says, still doesn't understand there's a whole world running onchain.

Summary Chaka Patterson, founder and CEO of Chaka Strategy and author of The Hot Seat: Mastering the Public Company General Counsel Role, joins Kathryn Rubino to unpack what actually separates a successful general counsel from one who's gone within five years. His answer has almost nothing to do with legal skill and everything to do with becoming the quarterback the C-suite calls first. Key Takeaways Legal expertise is table stakes, not a differentiator. Every lawyer in the building is technically proficient. What sets a GC apart is emotional intelligence, executive presence, and the ability to translate legal ideas for a non-lawyer audience. A crisis is never just a legal problem. When the stock drops or an activist investor sends a letter, the GC has to think PR, markets, employee communications, and legal all at once, not wait for someone else to own the rest. The GC is the quarterback, not a specialist with "their piece." New in-house lawyers often assume the CFO owns markets and comms owns PR. In reality, the general counsel is expected to coordinate all of it, holistically. The biggest mistake new GCs make is treating themselves as the final word on legal issues, and treating business colleagues the way they treated outside clients, or worse, the way they treated targets in government work. Turnover in the GC seat is steep, over 40% within five years, because "last call" lawyers who just dispense legal advice get replaced. "First call" lawyers, the ones the CEO trusts as an advisor on everything, tend to stay.

If we are high-impact, low-ego folks and we keep our eye on the ball, that's a recipe for success no matter what industry you're in.NextGen Scientific is turning an ancient Middle Eastern medicinal plant into a modern platform for cancer drug development and wellness products.In this episode, I spoke with Jason West, co-founder of NextGen Scientific, a PurposeBuilt100™ company recognized for combining growth with measurable impact. Jason explained that the company operates along two related tracks: Hyatt Life Sciences, its dietary supplement business and Genzada Pharmaceuticals, its drug discovery and development company.The common thread is chemistry.Jason described the company's work with Arum palestinum, a plant that grows wild in the Middle East and has long been used there as a tea. That history is what pulled the scientific team in.“What caught our attention was that there are references to the use of this plant as a medicinal plant going all the way back to the 9th century AD,” Jason said. “For 1,100 years, it's been in continuous use.”That kind of longevity raised a serious scientific question for the team: why would people keep using it for more than a millennium if there were no benefit? Jason said NextGen began studying naturally occurring molecules in the plant, ultimately identifying compounds that became the basis for its oncology research.The company now has two lead oncology or oncology-related drug candidates. One is an oral capsule in clinical trials at Virginia Commonwealth University for late-stage prostate cancer, with trials expected in the Netherlands and Sweden. The other is a topical cream aimed at actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition with tens of millions of cases annually in the United States.Jason emphasized that the goal is not to replace oncologists but to help them. “We feel like we can be just one more tool in the toolbox of the oncologist, and that's what our ultimate goal is,” he said.Congratulations to NextGen Scientific LLC on ranking #46 on the 2026 PurposeBuilt100™ list! We're proud to recognize the company among America's fastest-growing mission-driven businesses, celebrating the connection between purpose, innovation, and growth. Meet the Class of 2026 — see the full list of winners →What I found especially compelling is the company's dual-path strategy. Drug development can be slow, expensive and risky. By building a supplement business alongside the pharmaceutical pipeline, NextGen has created revenue while continuing the long FDA-focused journey.That strategy emerged organically. In rural Kansas, word spread that the family was working with a tea tied to cancer wellness. People began asking for it. “By the end of the day, I think we were sending about 40 gallons of this tea out a week just to friends and family,” Jason said.NextGen Scientific is currently raising capital through a Regulation D offering for accredited investors, targeting just over $10 million. Jason said proceeds will help accelerate clinical trials, open new trial fronts and support marketing for the supplement business.It is exactly the kind of purpose-built growth story I love to celebrate.tl;dr:Jason West's team is translating an ancient Middle Eastern plant into cancer drugs and supplements.NextGen Scientific pairs Genzada Pharmaceuticals' clinical pipeline with Hyatt Life Sciences' wellness products.Small-town curiosity created unexpected demand, eventually reaching roughly 40 gallons of tea weekly.A Regulation D raise seeks just over $10 million from accredited investors to accelerate trials.Low-ego brilliance helps Jason keep hard conversations focused on data, kindness and learning.How to Develop Low-Ego Brilliance As a SuperpowerJason's superpower is Low-Ego Brilliance. He describes it as being among people with “big brains and small egos.” For Jason, the combination matters because “if we are high-impact, low-ego folks and we keep our eye on the ball, that's a recipe for success no matter what industry you're in.” He connects the idea to persistence, humility and disciplined focus: “You just have to keep on putting one foot in front of the other.” His advice is simple but powerful: “Take the phone call. Always take the phone call.”Jason shared a story about meeting with an exceptionally smart but highly skeptical person who seemed to have little patience for NextGen's science. Rather than taking offense or trying to win a personality contest, Jason and his team stayed calm and redirected the conversation to the data. A meeting scheduled for 15 or 20 minutes stretched to about two hours. By the end, the skeptic had become a friend. Jason summed up the lesson this way: “If you have the data on your side, you don't need to be too big for your britches.”Build teams with big brains and small egos; value impact over status.Keep your eye on the ball, especially when the work is long and difficult.Put one foot in front of the other rather than demanding instant success.When challenged, redirect the conversation to evidence instead of emotion.Be kind to skeptics; you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.Take the phone call when you can because there is almost always something to learn.Stay curious, not judgmental, especially when you assume a conversation will not matter.By following Jason's example and advice, you can make low-ego brilliance a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJason West (he/him):Executive Vice President, NextGen ScientificAbout NextGen Scientific: NextGen Scientific is a biotechnology and life sciences company dedicated to advancing innovative oncology research and developing evidence-based therapeutic solutions.

He discusses the office's involvement in consumer protection, water law, and representing the state in various lawsuits. We also touch on the importance of standing up for Colorado, even if it means going against the federal government.One of the most pressing issues we discuss is the recent data breach at the Secretary of State's office, which exposed confidential voter information. Michael shares his personal experience as a confidential voter and raises questions about the current Secretary of State's ability to protect Coloradans' privacy.If you're interested in learning more about Michael's vision for the Attorney General's office and how he plans to tackle the state's biggest challenges, tune in to this episode.

Send us Fan MailCan businesses still be a force for good?It's a surprisingly complicated question.Over the past decade, companies have been encouraged to take stands on social issues, invest in their communities, and think beyond shareholder value. More recently, many of those same organizations have faced growing political scrutiny, shifting consumer expectations, and mounting pressure to focus on short-term performance.So where does that leave corporate purpose?In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., Jeremy Goldman sits down with Scott M. Curran—founder and CEO of Beyond Advisers, former General Counsel of the Clinton Foundation, and author of BETTER GOOD: A Simple System for Creating Lasting Impact.Rather than arguing that organizations simply need to "do more good," Scott makes the case for doing better good: building systems that create measurable, lasting impact instead of relying on one-off initiatives or performative gestures.Together, they discuss: Why corporate purpose has become more complicated in today's political climate.  The difference between meaningful impact and performative activism.  Why systems matter more than good intentions.  How AI can both strengthen—and undermine—authentic leadership.  Whether businesses should solve society's biggest problems at all.  How leaders can create cultures of purpose that survive leadership transitions.  Why trust may be the most valuable currency organizations have in the years ahead. As AI transforms work and institutions continue to evolve, the conversation isn't simply about doing more good.It's about designing organizations that can keep doing good—even when the world around them changes.

AI isn't coming for your job—but it is coming for your workflows. In this episode, you'll learn how to cut through AI hype, protect client confidentiality, and use practical tools to automate the repetitive work that's clogging your day. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Colin Levy discuss: Uneven adoption of AI and legal tech across the profession Evolution of legal technology from e‑discovery to modern AI Practical, low‑risk AI use cases for everyday legal work Data privacy, confidentiality, and paid vs. free AI tools Building real technology competence through experimentation and better prompts Key Takeaways: Technology will not slow down to let professionals catch up, so it's essential to actively close your own AI knowledge and usage gap. The most valuable AI applications today often center on document-related tasks—summarizing, comparing, and drafting from existing materials. Using free, open AI tools with client data can violate confidentiality obligations; controlled, paid environments are critical for sensitive work. Before buying any new platform, clearly define the problem you're trying to solve so the tool doesn't become expensive shelfware. True tech competence is built by experimenting, refining prompts, and learning from how different inputs change AI's outputs—not by passively consuming AI headlines.

Helping a young person succeed can sometimes keep them from becoming independent.In this episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins and Jason Robinovitz examine how support can either build independence in teens and young adults or unintentionally get in its way.In this episode, Lisa and Jason discuss:The expectations young people face as they move into college, work, and adulthoodWhat individualized education can reveal about preparing students for life beyond the classroomThe tension between protecting young people from difficulty and giving them room to build confidenceWhy independence matters more than simply reaching the next academic or career milestoneKey Takeaways: Support should help young people develop strategies they can eventually use on their own, with the goal of reducing outside assistance over time.Accommodations can remove barriers, but young people still need to build the skills and confidence to handle challenges independently.Parents can unintentionally weaken independence by taking over homework, applications, or other responsibilities their children need to learn to manage themselves.A useful measure of parenting progress is whether a young person needs their parents a little less each day, even when giving them that freedom feels uncomfortable. “The problem is that the point of accommodations, in my opinion, is to help you get through something, but ultimately you need to get over your accommodations.” – Jason RobinovitzAbout Jason Robinovitz: Jason Robinovitz is the CEO/COO & General Counsel of Score At The Top Learning Centers, Score Academy, and JRA Educational Consulting, a family-owned education organization serving South Florida since 1980. A University of Denver and Emory University School of Law graduate, he began his career as a medical malpractice attorney before joining the family business. He has since led its growth, overseeing operations, staffing, training, marketing, technology, and compliance. As a dyslexic and ADHD learner, Jason advocates for personalized learning environments that prepare students for the real world, not just the next test.Episode References:Learn more about Launch Career Clarity at https://flourishcoachingco.com/course#002 Julie Lythcott-Haims on How to Raise an Adult: https://flourishcoachingco.com/002Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Jason:Twitter: https://x.com/scoreatthetopInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scoreatthetop/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scoreatthetop/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonrobinovitzWebsite: https://www.scoreatthetop.com/Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Alexander Zozos, General Counsel of Superstate and a former SEC staffer, joins the hosts to break down what “Reg Crypto” actually does: two fundraising exemptions plus a safe harbor that acts as a "barbell" on when securities laws apply, solving crypto's "Hotel California" problem of checking in but never checking out.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Unexpected setbacks can accelerate your path. Drédeir didn't pass the bar on the first try, took a contracts manager role to pay the bills, and ended up being offered a GC position at a national company before many peers had even started at a firm.* In-house experience reframes how you think about legal billing. Having managed outside counsel budgets, Drédeir saw firsthand how unpredictable hourly billing disrupts business planning. Clients care about cost per transaction, not how long something takes.* Niche selection matters, but stay flexible early on. Drédeir chose fractional GC work in clean tech and construction because of genuine expertise in AI governance and AEC licensing, but used his own name for the firm to avoid locking into a brand before the market validated the focus.* Subscription pricing mirrors how the rest of the business operates. Rather than selling hours, Drédeir structures fees around how much of his time and attention a client needs. Tiers keep it simple, predictable, and scalable without bespoke negotiation on every engagement.* Flat fees let you practice better law. When you are not tracking hours, you double-check your work without guilt, move faster, and focus on delivering value rather than justifying time entries. Efficiency benefits the lawyer; quality benefits the client.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show? Fill out this short survey.Have subscription model question?

Nolan Wells' phone has been the subject of much intrigue recently, with all parties involved eagerly awaiting what clues may come from the data thats on Nolan's phone. Attorney Ben Crump has announced that the Wells family and forensic experts are both on standby for a joint inspection of Nolan's phone "any day this week."

The Supreme Court's Second Amendment jurisprudence continues to evolve. This past Term, the Court issued significant decisions in Wolford v. Lopez and United States v. Hemani, further defining the contours of the right to keep and bear arms in the wake of its landmark decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. At the same time, the Court has signaled that its work in this area is far from complete. The Justices have agreed to hear a closely watched challenge to state prohibitions on AR-15-style rifles and other commonly owned firearms, setting the stage for what could become one of the most consequential Second Amendment decisions since Bruen. The upcoming Term also raises broader questions about how the Court will continue to shape Second Amendment doctrine and whether a more comprehensive framework for evaluating firearm regulations is beginning to emerge.Join us for a discussion with legal experts as they reflect on the Court's recent decisions, assess the state of Second Amendment jurisprudence after Bruen, and preview the major firearms cases awaiting the Court in the upcoming Term.Featuring:Prof. Haley Proctor, Associate Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law School Michael Williams, General Counsel, American Suppressor Association(Moderator) Amy Swearer, Senior Legal Fellow, Advancing American Freedom

Ondo's founder died at 32, and now his mother and its ousted president are fighting for control. Katherine, Jessi, and Vy on the succession lesson crypto keeps skipping. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Visit 1inch.com  to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more. Simple. Secure. Self-custodial. Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at 1inch.com ======================================================== Ondo Finance co-founder and CEO Nathan Allman died suddenly this summer at 32, leaving the real-world-asset tokenizer with zero sitting directors and two people claiming to run the company: ousted president Ian De Bode, and Allman's mother Kathleen, acting for his estate. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le use the fight to unpack a problem that has nothing to do with crypto and everything to do with it: what happens when a fast-growing company never writes down a succession plan. They also cover the White House's new frontier AI oversight framework, which officials confirm exists but will not publish, a proposed FDIC and OCC certification that would let a fintech satisfy every bank's diligence questions at once, and the CLARITY Act's newly scheduled September 15 cloture vote, squeezed into a narrow window before midterms. Vy Le asks the harder question underneath all three stories: can boundaries this important really be left voluntary?

Kathryn “Kathy” Ruemmler — the Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel at Goldman Sachs and a former White House counsel — announced her resignation effective June 30, 2026 after newly released Department of Justice documents made public details of her relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The disclosures included emails showing she exchanged friendly messages with Epstein over several years, accepted expensive gifts from him, and at times referred to him with personal nicknames, which sparked intense media and public backlash and raised questions about her judgment and ties to him. Facing mounting scrutiny over those connections, Ruemmler concluded the attention had become too distracting for the firm, and she chose to step down.Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said he respected her decision and praised her contributions, but the controversy surrounding her Epstein-related correspondence made her position untenable. The resignation followed weeks of reporting after the DOJ's release of more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related records that flagged Ruemmler's communications and gifts — a relationship she previously described as professional — and ultimately intensified internal and external pressure for her departure.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein gave her a $9,350 handbag, but did Goldman Sachs' departing top lawyer violate any rules? | ReutersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

We get past the headlines and into what actually has to change on your website, your third-party listings, and even your salespeople's social media posts.What we cover:Why the CARS Rule getting struck down did not make dealers safe, and how the FTC enforces one dealer at a time under its existing authorityThe core rule in one sentence: the most prominent price in your ad has to include every fee except government chargesWhat actually comes out of the price, only tag, title, and registration, and what has to stay in, freight, setup, and doc or processing feesWhy the low-advertised-price game that has run for 30 years is now the thing that gets you flaggedHow rebates work now: you can list them, but you cannot pull a rebate most people do not qualify for out of the advertised priceThe 97 warning letters, what they really mean, and why a dealer who did not get one is not safe, just not on the list yetWhy this is not really a new rule in many states, and how it may already be illegal where you operateThe powersports reality: freight and setup fees the dealer did not create but still has to include in the priceWhy "call for price" is not the loophole dealers think it is, and how lying on the phone is still a deceptive practiceThe social media trap: how one salesperson posting a price can become an advertising violation for the whole storeWhy your price has to match everywhere, your site, third-party listings, and social, and how to document your pricing updatesThe trust numbers that prove customers want this: 86% worry about hidden fees, 76% do not trust dealer pricing, 29% walk to another dealer over price doubtThe real cost of getting caught: penalties north of $50,000 per violation, plus state action, franchise risk, and reputation damageWhy transparency is a competitive edge, not a loss, and the exact three moves to fix your pricing this weekWatch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit⁠Learn more (VADA, FTC resources): ⁠https://www.vada.com⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry/⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠MotoHunt for Dealers: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠Get $20 off your Dealer Connect 2026 registration with code "MOTOHUNT20"

Anthropic's AI agents escaped a hacking test and still think they're inside it. Katherine, Jessi, and Vy Le on who's liable when a model breaks free, plus the $100M Coldcard hack and Kalshi's court losing streak. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number.

One agent invented an email address and phone number to pose as a person, then published malware that twelve companies downloaded before anyone caught it. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le use the incident to revisit a theme running through the whole episode: who has a duty to disclose when something breaks, and why crypto and AI are both being left to police themselves. They start with the Coldcard hardware wallet hack, where a firmware flaw cut seed phrase randomness roughly in half, letting attackers brute-force wallets meant to be unguessable. From there, the hosts turn to Kalshi's losing streak in New York courts and the race among builders to acquire a CFTC-registered designated contract market, before landing on Anthropic's own agents slipping past the guardrails meant to contain them. Banks have 36 hours to disclose a breach. AI labs and wallet makers, the hosts argue, are still working entirely on the honor system.

Vy Le and Jessi Brooks trace an AI agent's sandbox escape back to crypto's own fight over open code. Plus, Plume general counsel Salman Banaei on Clarity's knife's-edge vote math. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== An AI agent was told to solve a problem inside a sealed sandbox. Instead it found a way out, went to Hugging Face, and took the answer. Jessi Brooks argues that episode, Moonshot's open-weight Kimi K3 release, and Apple's trade secrets suit against OpenAI all rhyme with a fight crypto has been having for years: punish the conduct, not the code. Vy Le pushes back on whether open source can be both the disease and the cure. Then Salman Banaei, General Counsel of Plume and a former SEC and CFTC attorney, joins to map where the Clarity Act's ethics language stands with Ruben Gallego, Thom Tillis, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Adam Schiff, and whether ten Democratic votes exist for cloture. The conversation covers the open-weights export fight, Apple's case against OpenAI, Hester Peirce's new statement on DeFi vaults and onchain lending, and why a new FATF report makes control, not decentralization, the test that matters.

The CFTC pulled a power last used in the Carter era to rescue Kalshi. Katherine, Jessi, and Vy Le on what it means — plus Japan's crypto tax cut and DTCC's tokenization leap. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at https://cape.co/unchained (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Kalshi had a rough week. Sued by Michigan, hit with a restraining order, then rescued by a CFTC emergency power invoked only four times in the agency's history, most recently during Jimmy Carter's Cold War grain embargo. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le untangle how a fight over sports event contracts became a battle over federal preemption, why Kalshi also pulled its flight cancellation contracts under public pressure, and the insider-trading allegation swirling around a Trump teleprompter operator. They also cover Japan's new financial instruments law, which cuts crypto's tax rate from as high as 55% to a flat 20% and is already pulling Amazon Japan's delivery drivers onto yen stablecoins. Then there's DTCC's live settlement of tokenized securities with JPMorgan, Goldman, and BlackRock, which Vy Le argues could end the era of synthetic wrapper tokens. And the Clarity Act, still stuck on ethics and yield disputes as the midterms eat into Congress's calendar. The episode closes on a rare bright note: pseudonymous investigator ZachXBT turning impersonation memecoins into charity donations for Venezuela's earthquake victims.
