What do you do when the headlines shift faster than your risk matrix can keep up? In this episode, Michael Volkov dives into the challenge of adapting compliance programs in the face of volatile and fast-changing global risks—from tariffs and trade controls to supply chain disruptions and third-party exposures. While the pressure to react is constant, the real key is staying anchored in your company's values while making smart, timely adjustments.Legal and compliance officers are used to adjustments and continuous improvement of their compliance programs. Building and maintaining an effective ethics and compliance program never ends — it is a continuous process. In a climate of rapid change, the strategies may feel familiar, but the risks themselves are taking new shape. To that end, Michael outlines five specific strategies for evolving your compliance program without losing your footing.You'll hear him discuss:Why culture isn't just a buzzword—it's the first and most critical line of defense in volatile timesHow to run a quick-turn, focused risk assessment to identify new hotspots like sanctions, tariffs, and supply chain gapsThe rising danger of indirect exposure to foreign terrorist organizations and cartels through third partiesWhat companies need to know about tariff classification, scope, and enforcement to avoid legal and economic penaltiesWhy sanctions and export controls enforcement is heating up—and what that means for your global operationsHow to recalibrate third-party risk management to account for trade-based threats and hidden ownership structuresResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

Join Hanif Khan & Sabah Zafar for Monday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Gaza' and ‘Patience' Gaza Gaza is living through a live streamed genocide where families are being starved and slaughtered in real time yet the world watches in silence. Why won't global powers unite to end this brutal massacre and how many more lives must be lost before humanity finds the courage to act? Patience In today's fast-paced society, where everything is expected instantly, the ability to wait, endure, and remain steadfast is often overlooked. Yet in Islam, patience is a cornerstone of faith, a strength that enables believers to navigate hardship, delay, and uncertainty with trust in Allah's plan. Let's explore the timeless relevance of patience through Islamic teachings and how it serves as a shield in a world that demands immediate results. We reflect on how patience is not just endurance, but a form of inner peace and submission to divine timing.

We also look at how Islam encourages caring for our bodies. Male Friendships and the loneliness crisis A silent crisis is growing: many men are facing deep loneliness and a lack of real connection.

Join Imran Akram and Talib Man for Monday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Asylum Seekers being used as political pawns' and ‘Resilience.' Asylum Seekers Used as Political Pawns Asylum seekers are being turned into political scapegoats.

Join Raza Ahmed for Friday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Nuclear Iran' and ‘False Messiahs and how to recognise the true Messiah' Nuclear Iran Is Iran building a peaceful energy programme — or edging closer to a nuclear weapon? Are sanctions working, or fuelling defiance? Has the nuclear deal failed — or is it the only path left? What really separates nuclear energy from nuclear arms? Join us as we discuss power, fear, and the politics behind the atom. False Messiahs and how to recognise the true Messiah Throughout history, many have falsely claimed to be the Promised Messiah — driven by ego, politics, or delusion. But how do we distinguish the false from the true? Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's claim stands apart: rooted in Qur'anic prophecy, supported by unmatched spiritual insight, and fulfilled through a peaceful revival of Islam. His truth is proven by the signs he foretold, the transformation he brought — and the lasting unity of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Producers: Sana Nadeem, Nabahat Nayyrah and Qayyum Rashid

Join Aneeq Ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing : « Starving Gaza » and « Do we need organised religion? » Starving Gaza In today's world, where international law and humanitarian values are well-established, the deliberate use of starvation as a method of warfare remains a grave violation and sadly, a reality in many ongoing conflicts. Despite international prohibitions, starvation continues to be used as a weapon, targeting civilian populations by blocking food, destroying agriculture, and restricting humanitarian aid. Join us as we discuss how starvation has become a weapon of mass destruction in countries like Palestine, Ethiopia and Yemen, and give an insight on the Islamic teachings on war and peace. Do we need organised religion? In a fast-changing world, does religion still matter? While some assume faith is fading, research shows it continues to shape generosity, wellbeing, and moral direction in powerful ways. Through the lens of science, human behaviour, and Islamic teachings, we reflect on how religion remains a source of guidance, meaning, and unity — even in modern times. Guests : Michael Fakhri (United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food) Martin Butcher (Oxfam's Peace, Conflict & International Humanitarian Law Policy Advisor) Akshaya Kumar (Director of Crisis Advocacy at Human Rights Watch) Imam Rabeeb Mirza Fazal Ahmad (serves as the Global Operations Director for Humanity First International supporting 66 branches.)

Join Saad Ahmed & Zakaria Sheikh for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing : "Green Tech: Is it Environmentally Friendly?" and "Youth Day." Green Tech: Is it Environmentally Friendly? Is green tech as clean as it claims? From rare earth mining to energy-hungry data centres, the race for “eco” solutions is leaving deep scars on the planet and vulnerable communities. As we shift to electric cars, solar panels and smart devices, are we solving one crisis by fuelling another? It's time to ask: who really benefits from the green revolution — and who pays the price? Youth Day Young people today face growing pressures— from mental health struggles and identity challenges to discrimination and uncertainty about their future. Youth Rising explores these issues and how youth can navigate them while finding purpose and confidence.

Join Imran Akram and Hanif Khan for Monday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing : « Palestine Protests » and « Honour Violence ». Palestine Protests Palestine Action has now been banned as a terrorist group in the UK — and showing support can carry a prison sentence of up to 14 years. Despite this, protests have erupted nationwide, with arrests of pensioners, faith leaders, and activists holding signs like “I oppose genocide.” Was the government right to criminalise this kind of activism? And what does it say when so many risk arrest to stand in solidarity? Honour Violence Another so-called ‘honour killing' has rocked Pakistan — a brutal reminder that violence disguised as tradition still claims lives. Across the world, from Britain to South Asia, women continue to be punished for choices that defy rigid family control. What drives this violence — and why does justice so often fall short? It's time to call it what it is: not honour, but abuse. Guests : Dania - University student studying Psychology & Cognitive Neuroscience Producers : Zohra Mobashir, Amatul Bari , Maheen Khan

For most leaders, uncertainty is like a storm you weather by cutting costs, delaying decisions, and basically waiting for calmer waters to return. But is it possible that this protective mindset is the very reason why organizations struggle to grow and evolve during periods of uncertainty? In other words, are the difficulties we have with uncertainty less to do with uncertainty itself, and more to do with how we choose to view and respond to it? In this episode of "Leadership Biz Cafe," my guest Dr. Rebecca Homkes presents her findings and a model that challenges us to rethink uncertainty as the fuel for breakthrough growth rather than an obstacle organizations need to overcome. Through our discussion of her book, "Survive, Reset, Thrive: Leading Breakthrough Growth Strategy in Volatile Times", Rebecca shares her proven SRT Loop framework - a cyclical three-stage process that will help leaders develop strategies to ensure their organization can withstand and grow whatever setbacks and market shocks that cross their path. What You'll Learn:Why treating uncertainty as temporary is the biggest strategic mistake leaders can makeHow to use the Uncertainty Matrix to categorize and respond to different types of volatilityThe five hard truths about survival that most leaders get wrongRebecca's power moves for creating stable foundations during turbulent timesHow to define your beliefs and test assumptions when you don't have all the dataThe difference between Right to Play and Right to Win (and why confusion kills growth)How to identify your Ideal Customer Profile and why narrowing focus drives expansionWhat "must-win battles" are and how to maintain focus as conditions changeHow to use the Black Box of Execution to transition from Reset to ThriveCommon SRT Leadership Traps and how to avoid them Whether you're navigating economic uncertainty, industry disruption, or organizational transformation, this conversation will fundamentally shift how you think about leading growth in volatile times.
