In this episode, The Mentors Radio host Tom Loarie talks with Samantha McRoskey, Director of Research for Portman Square Group, about background checks, due diligence, fraud investigations and more. These investigative procedures have become an important part of the global business landscape, as well as locally, in vetting new hires, social media monitoring, fraud, theft, surveillance, reputation and ethics due diligence, risk assessments, counterfeiting, litigation support and much more. Samantha ("Sam") is familiar with all of it. For more than 10 years, Samantha has conducted and contributed to a range of complex due diligence, risk assessment, and investigative projects as part of the Portman Square Group team. Her work has spanned Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. She has also worked extensively on Foreign Corrupt Practices Act reviews for corporate clients working in international jurisdictions. She is a Spanish and Portuguese speaker. Samantha graduated magna cum laude from the University of Notre Dame with a B.A. in English and holds an M.A in International Relations from Yale University. She also conducted research and studied in Mexico as a Fulbright Scholar. Samantha delivers an insider look behind the scenes of these investigations, tells us what we should know about them, shares the kind of information they provide, and has some tips on how to pass any investigation without being "red-flagged." She also explains the difference between what we can learn from an internet search vs. professional background or due diligence research. Did we mention she's also a mother of five?

The Biden administration's ban on Russian energy imports has prompted a spike in energy prices in the U.S. However, the President was unsuccessful when reaching out to Saudi Arabia and the UAE to boost oil exports. President Biden halted the Keystone XL pipeline in 2021 citing environmental concerns, but some are using the nation's oil predicament as a reason to revive the project. Congressman Buddy Carter (R-GA) joins to explain why he introduced legislation to restart the Keystone XL pipeline, how U.S. energy independence relates to national security, and his desire to ease the regulatory burdens on energy production. Presidential Emergency Action Documents, or PEADs, are top secret executive orders from the president that are to be used in case of a national emergency. Former CIA operative and head of the Portman Square Group, Mike Baker is familiar with these classified programs and is now working to uncover them on his Science Channel show, “Black Files Declassified.” He joins the Rundown to discuss how these secret government orders may be utilized amid the war in Ukraine, questions surrounding UFOs and paranormal phenomena, and more of what we can expect in season two of his show.
