Has the pendulum swung back on FCPA enforcement - and will companies be ready when it hits? Is the DOJ's renewed push on FCPA enforcement a strategic shift - or just old wine in a new bottle?In this episode, Michael discusses the return of the Justice Department to the FCPA enforcement arena. In a significant development, DOJ announced the resumption of FCPA enforcement, accompanied by a new set of enforcement guidance principles. This guidance is more than policy - it's a statement of priorities and strategy that will shape how FCPA investigations and prosecutions unfold. While the number of attorneys in DOJ's FCPA Unit has declined, U.S. Attorneys' Offices across 94 districts now have increased authority to investigate and prosecute FCPA cases with less oversight. The result? Potentially broader, faster, and more decentralized enforcement. As always, the devil is in the details - and the June 9 DOJ FCPA Guidance Memo delivers plenty.You'll hear him discuss:DOJ's renewed emphasis on prosecuting individuals over corporations, especially when misconduct can't be directly linked to senior leadershipHow companies may now have stronger arguments to avoid liability if the wrongdoing is isolated to a small groupExpanded autonomy for U.S. Attorneys' Offices and what this means for enforcement volume and consistencyThe DOJ's prioritization of cases that directly impact U.S. national interests and corporate competitivenessIncreased scrutiny of links to cartels and transnational criminal organizations, including risks hidden in supply chains and third-party relationshipsThe push for faster, more efficient investigations to avoid the years-long white-collar case backlogGuidance on when facilitating payments, gifts, or travel fall under FCPA exceptions - and why these rarely matter in major prosecutionsWhy cooperation, early disclosure, and individual accountability may now be companies' best bet for avoiding charges altogetherThe DOJ's sharpened focus on national security sectors like defense, critical infrastructure, and technologyResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

Sometimes friendship can be a powerful force for social and political change.This is according to today's guest, Priya Vulchi, author of the newly-released (and AMAZING!)

But here's why I'm excited about this conversation: we talk about how real authentic friendship is actually RADICAL and can change the world, challenging the status quo and causing people to care about issues simply because they impact the people they love.In this episode you'll hear about:Aristotle's three types of friendship – utility, pleasure, and virtue – and how these definitions still apply todayHow friendship challenges capitalistic models of overconsumption and self-reliance by relying on friends for favors instead of Uber or Amazon How friendship can be political, requiring people to challenge their self-interests and deepen relationshipsThe concept of heteros, or political friendship, and how it is as important as philia, or friendship of virtue; plus, the importance of joy in friendshipsResources & LinksBe sure to read Good Friends: Bonds That Change Us and the World by Priya Vulchi and her first book, Tell Me Who You Are: Sharing Our Stories of Race, Culture, and Identity, which she wrote with Winona Guo.Like what you hear?

In this episode, I dive into the process of how personal growth and healing can change your relationships and friendships. As you evolve and step into your authentic self, your standards for the people in your life naturally rise. This can lead to some friendships evolving, some fading away, and even the need to have tough conversations about boundaries. I share how important it is to recognize your values and how they shape your relationships, and how owning your worth is a vital step in attracting healthier, more aligned connections.What you'll learn:How personal growth leads to higher standards in relationshipsThe importance of recognizing your values when evaluating friendshipsWhy some friendships may change or fall away as you evolve, and why that's okayHow to discern who you should be vulnerable with and who isn't the right fit for deeper emotional connectionThe importance of self-compassion when navigating changes in your relationships and honoring your personal growthJoin Breaking The Good Girl Cycle!

I'm going on tour! Come see The School of Greatness LIVE in person!Get my new book Make Money Easy here!Most of us unknowingly live under what family therapy expert Jerry Wise calls "the family trance" – a powerful force that shapes our identity without our awareness. After 45 years helping thousands break free from dysfunctional family patterns, Jerry reveals how our adult struggles often stem from inherited emotional programming that creates a "malignant normalcy" within us. Through our conversation, he shares the revolutionary concept of self-differentiation – the courageous process of separating your true self from your family's expectations while remaining emotionally connected. When Jerry states "whatever issues I leave unresolved, who gets to resolve them? My children," I realized this might be the most transformative conversation we've had about breaking generational patterns. His profound insight that "it's never too late to have a happy childhood" offers hope to anyone trapped in cycles of criticism, people-pleasing, or emotional reactivity that originated in their family system.Get Jerry's Free 84-Minute 'Self-Differentiation' TrainingGet more from Jerry on YouTubeIn this episode you will learn:Why criticizing yourself harshly is often your "family self" talking, not your authentic voiceHow to identify if you had narcissistic parents and what that means for your adult relationshipsThe three levels of resistance you'll face when changing family dynamics and how to overcome themWhy trying to change your parents is futile, but changing yourself transforms the entire systemThe difference between setting outer boundaries and the crucial inner boundaries needed for healingHow the "fantasy" of finally getting parental approval keeps many adults emotionally stuckWhy it's never too late to have a happy childhood through self-parenting and inner child workThe three core elements needed for lasting change: self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-differentiationFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1747For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Gabby Bernstein – greatness.lnk.to/1714SCJason Wilson  – greatness.lnk.to/1725SCMel Robbins – greatness.lnk.to/1710SC Get more from Lewis!
