Sports and Compliance – All Things Dodgers

Welcome to Season 2 of Sports and Compliance. For the longest time, Tom Fox has wanted to have a podcast on the intersection of Sports and the World of Compliance and Ethics, both for those stories as they play out on the Sports Page and for the lessons they provide to business executives and compliance professionals. In this podcast series, Tom Fox is joined by one of the top compliance commentators, Stephen Martin, CCO at Skillsoft. Together, we will use our love of sports and competition to discuss current ethical issues in sports, look at compliance through a sports lens, and determine how the world of sports and its stories can be a guide for the compliance professional.

However, in this inaugural episode of Season 2, we discuss the pure joy of sports, specifically baseball. Tom Fox is joined by 3 rabid and lifelong Los Angeles Dodgers fans, each of whom fell in love with the Dodgers in a different era. Adam Turteltaub is the Chief Engagement & Strategy Officer at the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics and Health Care Compliance Association. Louis Amestoy is a longtime digital journalist and the Editor and Publisher at The Kerr County Lead. Mike Whitmire is the Co-founder & CEO at FloQast.

They all share how and when they fell in love with the Dodgers, favorite memories and players, and what the Dodgers mean to them to this day. If you love all things baseball, this is the podcast for you.
