Podcast appearances and mentions of lisa burton

In this podcast recorded at Ogletree Deakins' national Workplace Strategies seminar, Lisa Burton (shareholder, Boston/Portland (ME)) and Lisa Hamasaki (shareholder, San Francisco) discuss what employers can do when they discover evidence of serious criminal activities during a workplace investigation. Covering issues ranging from evidence of illegal pornography on a company computer and assaults in the workplace to embezzlement and violations of corrupt practices laws, our speakers delve into the significant layer of complexity that criminal issues add to workplace investigations. The conversation highlights issues such as reporting obligations to law enforcement and regulatory agencies, preservation of evidence, employees' privacy concerns, and the attorney-client privilege—and provides a roadmap for handling these complex scenarios while mitigating overall risk.

Lisa Burton, Director of the M.S. Marketing Program, once was a student in this program herself.

We all have our demons. This sketch does too. They're just pretty literal. You know, super literal. We figure that might actually be a little bit nice if you're feeling overwhelmed by all the figurative stuff going on all over the place.

Season One In an effort to uncover where corruption in American politics starts, The Probe goes deep inside an average high school student body presidential election. Listen as hosts Lisa Burton and Mary Beth Smith meet the candidates and their families, speculate on their motives for running, and unmask all the nasty aspects of running for office at any level.   Episode 8 Next Fall. After some shocking news in July, The Probe team felt it was essential to get back into the thick of things at FDRHS. We check in with each of the candidates and their progress one last time, and an undeniably hopeful tone emits itself throughout. Except for maybe when we talk to Vice Principal Hannigan. Was Thomas prepared to take office? Will Staci remain active in the student government? Where is Cori? Who really is August Tooley-Anderson? No really, who? It was a long summer.   Credits: Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith   Thomas Buffington, Jr.: Clayton Margeson Staci Kramer: Shira Wilson Cori Wilson: Lauren Walker August Tooley-Anderson: Brian Holden Vice Principal Curtis Hannigan: Ryan Ben Adam Anderson: Chris Rathjen Artie Anderson: John Thibodeaux Meryl Kramer: Allison Ringhand Charlotte Buffington: Jessye Mueller Thomas Buffington Sr.: Tim Dunn   Produced by Matt Young, Lisa Burton, Mary Beth Smith and Hannah Parsons Editor: Hannah Parsons Original Music: Hannah Parsons Other Music: Final Cut Pro, iLife, and iMovie Sound Effects  The Probe Logo: Maxwell Hudetz   Special Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for allowing us to record in their beautiful space.

The culmination of a long month of campaigning and a tireless amount of journalistic coverage ends with students all over the school casting their votes. The Probe team checks in with the candidates and themselves as we look back on the process and forward to the results. What does Thomas still have up his sleeve? Will Staci's election anxiety keep her from having any cogent thoughts? Was exploring a high school student body election actually a worthwhile endeavor? And, most importantly, who. will.

Episode 6 The Debate: A time-honored tradition that the 2016 US presidential election has taken a massive dump upon. This episode of The Probe explores whether the students [and faculty] at FDRHS fell prey to name calling and mudslinging as they took the debate stage. How will Staci answer to the accusation of skipping class? Why does Thomas keep taking pictures next to posters bashing Staci? Where would Cori get that many balloons? Why would a woman leave a man who was nothing but loyal to her? And the most burning question of all will finally be answered: Is August running?   Credits:   Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith   Thomas Buffington, Jr.: Clayton Margeson Staci Kramer: Shira Wilson Cori Wilson: Lauren Walker August Tooley-Anderson: Brian Holden Vice Principal Curtis Hannigan: Ryan Ben Faculty Liaison Eliza Schroeder: Meredith Stepien Debate Audience: Allie Kahan and Max from the iO box   Produced by Matt Young, Lisa Burton, Mary Beth Smith and Hannah Parsons Editor: Hannah Parsons Original Music: Hannah Parsons Other Music: Final Cut Pro, iLife, and iMovie Sound Effects   The Probe Logo: Maxwell Hudetz Special Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for allowing us to record in their beautiful space.

Episode 5 With only one week left before the debate, The Probe takes on the biggest buffoon in the room, Thomas Buffington, Jr. The Buffington family has been influential in Indiana politics and business for decades, and like any family with such influence and history, there are skeletons in their closet. We'll delve deep into the bizarre and contradictory Buffington family. Do the Buffingtons live in a haunted mansion? What is the right age to show a child your face for the first time?

One candidate bungled so badly their battle for student body glory may be toast. The tension couldn't be higher in The Probe studio, but with the help of some experts, Lisa and Mary Beth get to the bottom of the blunder as well as figuring out what exactly goes on at the home and in the mind of the apparent front-runner, Staci Kramer.   Credits: Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith Staci Kramer: Shira Wilson Meryl Kramer: Allison Ringhand Deacon Boxlightner: Tyler Samples Thomas Buffington, Jr: Clayton Margeson Thomas Buffington Sr: Tim Dunn Glover Buffington: Matt Young   Produced by Matt Young, Lisa Burton, Mary Beth Smith and Hannah Parsons Editor: Hannah Parsons Original Music: Hannah Parsons Other Music: Final Cut Pro, iLife, and iMovie Sound Effects The Probe Logo: Maxwell Hudetz Special Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for allowing us to record in their beautiful space.

This week: The anti-establishment outsider. Who is Cori Wilson? What about her upbringing made her want to run for student body president? Was it her biographer father? Her food scientist mother? One of her more nefarious classmates? Why does she seem to care so much more about the X Games than the Winter Olympics? The Probe leaves no stone unturned.   Credits:   Lisa Burton: Lisa Burton Mary Beth Smith: Mary Beth Smith   Cori Wilson: Lauren Walker Whitney Lamont-Wilson: Carly Olson Christopher Wilson: Luis Cortes.

Episode Two: As the four candidates in the FDRHS presidential election gear up for week one of their campaigns, The Probe team goes deep into what influences their decisions and platforms. While a lot of time is spent unpacking the beige, malleable oddball August Tooley-Anderson in the form of an interview with him and his parents, the real fun starts when Lisa and Mary Beth review early campaign tactics and social media interactions between students and their options for president. Who is the early front-runner when it comes to resources? What do a candidate's influencers tell us about their ability to lead?
