In this episode of All Things Investigation, Tom Fox and guest Kevin Abikoff discuss the Department of Justice's introduction of a CCO certification in the wake of FCPA violations. Kevin offers his unique perspective on this issue; their conversation also explores broader issues of corporate governance and the role of the Board of Directors. Kevin Abikoff is a Partner and Deputy Chair at Hughes Hubbard & Reed. He is a recognized authority in corporate governance and compliance.  You'll hear Tom and Kevin discuss: Kevin questions the necessity of the CCO certification, suggesting it addresses a problem that doesn't exist, given the absence of complaints from the Department of Justice about dishonesty during monitorships. A more practical approach, Kevin posits, is a certification 12 to 24 months after a monitorship ends to empower CCOs during periods of vulnerability truly. Measuring compliance effectiveness is subjective and may be void of vagueness in a legal context. In the broader realm of corporate governance, the board has a pivotal role in overseeing compliance. Parallels to the Caremark duty and Delaware law are drawn. Kevin raises concerns about the burden on CCOs to assess program effectiveness retrospectively, especially considering the dynamic nature of compliance programs over time. Boards should take responsibility for compliance certifications and should sign off on these certifications, mirroring similar practices in financial reporting. Innovation within compliance may be stymied if CCOs fear that enhancing a program might be used against them in the future, Kevin points out. KEY QUOTES: “I've just never heard, especially from the context of Chief Compliance Officer, that the DOJ feels like they're being lied to. If that's not the problem they're trying to solve, I think the solution they have paved is, again, a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist…” – Kevin Abikoff “If you're going to have a certification and you want to empower the chief compliance officer, have the certification twelve months, 24 months after the conclusion of the monitorship and have the CCO certify that they continue to believe that the policies, procedures, things that have been put in place, continue to be in place.” – Kevin Abikoff “Now what you fail to investigate can kill you.” – Kevin Abikoff Resources: Hughes Hubbard & Reed website  Kevin Abikoff on LinkedIn

Did you know about a powerful court that handles investigations of products imported into the US? On this episode of All Things Investigations, host Tom Fox sits down with Andrew Kopsidas to discuss the International Trade Commission (ITC). Andrew walks Tom through the ins and outs of the ITC, including its broad definition of unfair trade practices, the plaintiff and defendant roles, and the power of the agency to bar products from entering the US. He also shares insights on the speed of ITC cases, the role of administrative law judges, and the importance of having good ITC counsel. Andrew Kopsidas is a litigation and strategic consulting expert with over 20 years of experience in intellectual property (IP) matters. He graduated from George Washington University Law School in 1999, after earning a degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland. Kopsidas is a partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, where he advises clients on litigation and strategic counseling matters related to IP. You'll hear Tom and Andrew discuss these ideas: The ITC is a federal agency that investigates unfair trade practices related to international trade, with the power to bar products from entering the US. Any company that has a domestic industry in the US and is facing imports of products made in a foreign country using unfair trade practices can file a complaint with the ITC. Unfair trade practices can include patent and trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation, false advertising, and more. ITC cases move quickly, with only 30 days to prepare for discovery and respond to requests, making it crucial for in-house counsel to act fast and get management buy-in. Administrative law judges are the fact-finders in ITC cases, and their credibility determinations can be influenced by the reputation of the lawyers involved. ITC lawyers must have knowledge of the nuances of ITC practice and be able to work with the Office of Unfair Import Investigations and persuade them that their side of the case is right. Andrew emphasizes early assessment of cases. He recommends organizing a scrub session with the outside litigation team and employees to go through the merits of the case. He points out that it's important to consider the client's objectives to find the best solution for their business. The ITC litigation process is strictly one way, with no counterclaims, and the respondent is always on the receiving end. The government attorneys at the ITC are neutral and trained to represent the public interest. They participate in discovery and give their opinion right before the trial. Going on the offensive is an essential strategy for a defendant in an ITC case. For example, a defendant can file their ITC action as a counteraction, file district court actions, or refuse to stay the district court case. Trials in the ITC can be a lot like a district court, but without a jury. The rules of evidence are not as stringent as in district court. Companies should take ITC cases seriously and avoid hiring inexperienced counsel as there is a lot of nuance to ITC practice. KEY QUOTES "I've seen a lot of good lawyers stumble in the ITC because they just weren't familiar with the nuance of practice." - Andrew Kopsidas “If a company isn't taking things seriously, the case can be lost before it's practically even begun.” - Andrew Kopsidas "The first question I like to ask clients is, What's your business objective here? We, as litigators, a lot of times want to think that what we do is the be-all and end-all. Really we're just a tool for these companies that have broader business objectives, and we need to keep that in perspective." - Andrew Kopsidas Resources: Hughes Hubbard & Reed website Andrew Kopsidas on LinkedIn ITC Spotlight You've Been Sued - Part 1 You've Been Sued - Part 2

There are one-owner shops, small agencies, medium-sized agencies, large alphabet houses, and everything else in between. The question is: Which one can you make more money at as a producer?  In this episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht walks you through the pros and cons of each, tells you which type/size agency he would work at today if he was planning to pick one to work at, and an option for you if you're considering making a switch. Episode Highlights: Charles mentions that he learned more at a large agency than at any other agency he has worked for. (4:41) Charles explains why, after learning so much at a bigger agency, he would never work for one again. (6:48) Charles discusses that, after 20 years of business, he already knows what to do if he is approached by an agency for consultation or assistance with their operations. (7:34) Charles mentions that all of the producers he knows that have to have some form of servicing role for whatever they do in their everyday operations have smaller books of business. (10:42) Charles explains that if you're the owner of the agency, having a one-man shop is fine as long as you're writing some business. (12:06) Charles believes that a tiered system that rewards constant activity, building a book of business, and bringing on more new clients throughout the year would make a lot more sense for an agency. (14:26) Charles explains that if your agency is unwilling to give you the opportunity to own a stake in the business, it may be in your best interest to look into other options because there are other options. (17:06) Charles believes that you don't have to make a habit or build a large book of business to be fairly wealthy as an agent in the United States of America. (20:01) Charles believes that if you are looking for a new agency, you should go to one that puts money into training, sales, and other similar things. (23:30) Charles mentions that if you're considering changing agencies, reach out to him and he'll try to give you some advice on what to do or look for. (28:19) Key Quotes: “I've been in the business now for over 20 years, I understand a lot of these different things, I would know what to do tomorrow if I went to work with an agency, if an agency brought me on, for some consulting, consulting, to help them with operations, and their producers and so forth.” - Charles Specht “There are other options out there, there is no shortage of opportunities out there in regards to the agencies that you might be a really good fit for. So, if you don't feel like your agency is a long-term play for you, then maybe make a switch.” - Charles Specht “If you're thinking about switching the agency where you're at, you know what, reach out to me. And I'll try to give you some advice maybe on what to do or what to look for, I might even be able to give you a referral in a few different agencies if you're willing to work remotely.” - Charles Specht Resources Mentioned: Reach out to Charles Specht Permission Network Insurance Agency, Inc.

Of these different aspects of limits that we have in ourselves. I think there's a big opportunity there. But I still think because of the position America has in the world and the way we're, we've perceived ourselves there's a lot of challenges in the future.”Go to the places where you don't know anyone and you are not the majority.”“In 1865 when African-Americans became free, we had 0.5% of the wealth in America. 150 years later we have 1.5%”“You don't how much privilege until you enter a space that you don't have”“Happiness is about situations, but joy is connected to purpose.”Key Segments With Time5:34 - Passion, Purpose, and Movements8:08 The importance of Emotional Intelligence, Idiocracy, and Lizard Brain13:30 Racial Wealth Gap16:30 Entrepreneurship as a key to repairing America23:00 Responsibility of entrepreneurs26:10 How to find the people that don't look like you41:45 How to help Art?

You may not need to invest any marketing dollars in a new Tiktok channel. If you're like Nico Dato, the Executive Vice President of Marketing at Podium, you're thinking about the best ways to not only get the attention that those new well-known channels bring, but also gain the trust of SMBs in order to win them over as clients. But the reality is, there is no right or wrong answer to where you spend your ad budget. The truth is, the only thing that actually matters is what's performing. The channel mix is evolving every day and it's important to think about where your clients are and develop a relationship with them, and second, stay abreast of third-party apps that are emerging as new marketing platforms in the U.S. “We do a ton of trade shows, which is something that not a lot of people do. We do a lot of direct mail. We do radio; we do everything you can imagine. For us, it takes three or four touches on average to get someone's attention in the way that we want. A lot of times that comes from a combination of digital, traditional, radio, print… We're marketing and selling to plumbers, insurance agents, car dealers, and, and people who are out there physically working in the real world all day long. Like what a lot of people don't realize about Podium is, if I'm selling to an HVAC contractor, like most times they're like checking out Podium at like nine 30 at night, because they were fixing air conditioners all day, or unclogging toilets, Making sure we get that right channel mix is critical. [Conversions are] They're not always going to come via Google search.”In this episode of Marketing Trends, Nico and I unpack the best way to grow a team from seven to over 1,000 and peel back the curtain into how Nico has transformed himself from a marketer to a marketing leader. Staying on top of all marketing channels, new and old, is how he stays on the cutting edge. All this next on Marketing Trends. Main TakeawaysHire for People not just for Needs: When you grow and hire, sometimes there will be a temptation to hire quickly, and in your rush, you may be thinking more about hiring candidates who can help stop the bleeding, so to speak. Instead of hiring for the task you need to be done now, you should be hiring the individual who can best contribute to the company overall. Find someone who can grow with the company, that fits into the culture, and it just might take a couple of extra weeks to find them and train them up. Gaining Trust of SMBs: Small and Medium-Sized businesses are usually the subject matter experts in their communities. For example, the dentist is trusted, personally, by the people that he services. That dentist and his front office staff likely aren't marketing experts, and it takes an understanding of the trust that they themselves garner, in order to understand the level of trust you need to build with them. Their business is a passion and they need to know they can trust you to be on their team. Increased Utilization of Third-Party Apps in the US: Third-party communication apps like Whatsapp are being used with ever-increasing frequency in the U.S. which is arguably behind this trend in other countries like Brazil, and Japan. This is a whole new channel for marketers to tap into and add to their mix. Key Quotes“I've been super fortunate to learn on the fly. I didn't necessarily have all of this classical training in how to run a marketing team and how to build a comms function and a product marketing function. I've just been so fortunate that my career has just kind of snowballed. [Going from a marketer to a marketing leader] is a huge transition. When you're an individual contributor, you have control over the destiny of the thing that you own. And it's up to you to work as hard as you want, to strategize as much as you want, to learn from outside sources as much as you want. [Then] all of a sudden you're having to guide a team in doing that one thing that you think you can do really, really well. The secret is that oftentimes they know how to do it much better than you do.”“[The] transition [to leadership] was really hard. I'm not perfect at it by any means, but I think I've grown by way of leadership over the last couple of years. It's a transition that you don't need to make unless you really want to make that jump. t's not easier. There are great career paths in any of these disciplines that don't necessarily mean management.”“[Marketers] are worried about SLS. You're worried about contracts with your customers. You're worried about all of these things. The thing that our CEO has done a really good job of is that, he's tried to keep us focused on the things that matter most. As you're scaling quickly, [identify] the five priorities to align with and get all of the subsequent teams to also align to, in order to make sure that those things are perfect.”“My hiring mantra has always been to hire people, not for the role, but you need to find the right person. I would rather take a longer amount of time finding the right person than having to restart in three months or six months or, or whatever it is. My intent is to find the right person for the role and, and know that the longer-term impact of finding the right person is going to be much greater than filling the short-term need. That may just be a two or three-week difference.” “The one thing that I have found every year becomes more and more surprising -- and probably it shouldn't be a surprise because it continuously happens -- I think that the channel diversification that's happening here in the US and I should be inclusive of Canada, but largely the U.S. is changing. Historically the best way to reach them [was] via email, and then all of a sudden it started to become texts. We are a huge advocate of texting, but what's interesting is we've started to enter the world where consumers are using third-party apps as well to communicate. It's something that you see internationally; you go to Brazil, you might see it with WhatsApp; you go to Japan, you might see it with Line, and et cetera. The data shows in [our] report, 40% or something similar, are starting to use third-party apps on a daily basis to communicate with one another. It's a huge opportunity for brands. There's channel diversification that's happening, and you should take advantage of that.”“At the top of the funnel, we work to try and be everywhere and show that we are honed in, on local business for these businesses. It's why we do a ton of trade shows. We do a ton of trade publications. We do a lot of display advertisements or radio advertisements. A lot of times they just want to know you're legitimate. The hardest thing for local businesses is getting their trust; they've been burned so many times because they are so vulnerable. It's really important to us to make sure they know that we're going to be a partner to them. It's hard to do and there's not one answer that solves all.”BioNico Dato is the EVP of Marketing for Podium, the leading interaction management platform that enables companies with a local presence to conveniently connect at critical touchpoints and help them strengthen their business.
