Richard Lummis and Tom Fox begin a four-part series on leadership lessons from George Washington. We will look at lessons from Washington’s colonial and frontier period, focusing on the French and Indian War, leadership lessons from Washington’s generalship of the Continental Army, his leadership in both the Continental Congress and Constitutional Convention and we will end with leadership lessons from both terms of Washington’s presidency. In this first episode, we consider the leadership lessons learned by Washington in his colonial and frontier period and how his failures during the French and Indian War influenced his later leadership.
Highlights of this podcast include:
- Introduction into Washington’s early life.
- Washington’s Ambition and the Battle of Jumonville Glen.
- Battle of Fort Necessity and Washington’s surrender.
- Massacre of Braddock’s troops by the Iroquois.

Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative. In this series we will review the new television show Picardwhich is currently streaming on CBS. Today, Episode 8, Broken Pieces.
SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth.
Episode 8, Broken Pieces. A flashback shows Narissa’s initiation into the Zhat Vash on a planet with eight suns: she experiences the Admonition, a warning of the danger of synthetic life left behind by a long-extinct race. Most are driven mad by the knowledge, but Narissa retains her sanity.
Meeting Soji stirs up painful memories in Rios: he eventually tells Raffi that Soji resembles one of two beings whom Rios’s former commanding offer, Captain Vandermeer, was ordered to execute by Starfleet Security; Vandermeer committed suicide and Rios was forced to cover up the event. Raffi realizes that the two were synthetics from Bruce Maddox’s planet. Jurati awakens and admits that she murdered Maddox, explaining the vision Oh gave her; she promises never to harm Soji. Raffi explains her deduction that the Zhat Vash were behind the synth attack on Mars. Soji plots a course for her home planet; La Sirena is followed by Narek’s ship. On the Artifact, Seven arrives to rescue Elnor; she interfaces with the Queen’s cell to use the Borg drones aboard the cube to try to retake control, but Narissa has most of the drones jettisoned into space and sends a fleet to Soji’s planet.
Highlights, speculations and questions include:
- Since the Borg collective is limited to this Cube, could a new Borg culture be created from the Ex-B’s?
- Is there a potential Borg-synth alliance brewing? What will it mean for humanity?
- How was 7/9 able to connect and more importantly disconnect from the collective?
- What work does Annika have left?
- How cool was Raffi’s interview of the five holographic helpers?
- Was Oh behind Rios’ being busted out of Star Fleet?
- Would you forgive Jurati so easily for murder? Was it temporary insanity?
- Is Star Fleet dispatching the fleet to DS 12 for the right reasons?

Leslie Benton is the Vice President of Ethisphere Institute. She chats with Vince Walden about how her company helps businesses with anti-corruption, assessments and benchmarking. Leslie shares her background in the field of anti-corruption, and how she became Vice President of Ethisphere. She mentions that she has gained perspectives from both the private sector and NGOs.
Ethisphere has created a methodology platform for companies to internally assess their programs, which they can take to score the maturity of their programs in various areas such as corruption and cyber security. Ethisphere encourages companies to take a deep dive into their own programs with the platform’s assessment tools, which allow them to address and identify areas of high and low performance. The maturity scoring provides metrics that can be tracked over time as they improve, and are used as benchmark data. The platform also has other tools and resources that help companies ensure their programs are in a cycle of continual improvement. Leslie advises companies to regularly monitor their third parties, as their involvement brings numerous risks.

Welcome to a sponsored podcast series where I am exploring how to navigate risk from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), sponsored by K2 Intelligence Financial Integrity Network (K2 Intelligence FIN). Over this five-part series I will visit with David Holley and Him Das the co-leads of CFIUS Advisory Practice at K2 Intelligence FIN. We will consider navigating the CFIUS process through using business intelligence to identify CFIUS threats and vulnerabilities, using a proactive approach to navigate the CFIUS process, compliance frameworks for risks under CFIUS and effective monitoring for CFIUS. Today, in Episode 4, I visit with David Holley on the CFIUS and cyber risk and access control.
Highlights include:
- Is it just cyber security companies, or how does CFIUS weigh this risk?
- What steps can investors take to mitigate this in the initial processes?
- What does an ongoing compliance framework look like to help catalyze continued success?
In this episode, I am joined by Vincent DiCianni, founder and President of AMI as we consider the always controversial topic of monitorship costs and expenses. DiCianni breaks the process down into three key areas. The first is the scope of the monitorship. You must understand the settlement documents so that you can fully appreciate the scope of the monitor’s remit and what the government expects from the monitor. DiCianni noted that some resolutions can have a narrow focus, with a finite number of records or other documents to review. With such information, you can work to scope out a range of what your costs might be. Conversely the settlement documents can literally be wide-open, which obviously will have a dramatic impact on potential costs and even estimating.

In this episode, I am joined by Eric Feldman, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Corporate Ethics and Compliance Programs for Affiliated Monitors, Inc. (AMI). Today, we consider what issues a company should consider when hiring or retaining a corporate monitor. It is important to note right off the bat, that the selection of an appropriate monitor can either make or break the entire monitorship program for an organization. Feldman advises that the forestall such a problem a company needs to have a clear understanding of what it is trying to get out a monitorship. If you are at the end of a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement action, your goals may be different than attempting to engage in a pre-settlement monitorship. You also need to understand what might be required by the government in any post-resolution settlement.

In this podcast, I am joined by Eric Feldman, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Corporate Ethics and Compliance Programs for Affiliated Monitors, Inc. Today, we consider pre-settlement monitorships. Feldman explained that most generally, a “pre-settlement monitorship is an organization using an independent body to conduct any kind of a third-party review or assessment.” It can also be considered as a proactive monitorship. It involves a company desiring to assess its implementation of a compliance and ethics program on a proactive basis. Such a monitorship does more than simply focus on whether there is a compliance program in place but more fully assesses its effectiveness. This assessment can be used by a wide variety of parties, such as the corporation itself, with its stakeholders, with regulators or even with the public to demonstrate compliance with a wide variety of issues.

In this podcast, I am joined by Eric Feldman, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Corporate Ethics and Compliance Programs for Affiliated Monitors, Inc. Today, we consider what is a post-resolution monitorship. Feldman explained that most generally, a “post resolution monitor ship is essentially a situation where a government agency and a private organization, it could be a corporation it could be a nonprofit organization, as a requirement of settling some kind of a dispute or a matter between those two entities the company; the regulator agrees they are going to use a monitor to ensure that any specific conditions of the agreement to settle the matter are met.”
