The first was for Excellence in the category of Limited Series. The second was for Distinction for Individual Episodes, in the Business Podcasts category.
This series was based on Steffy’s seminal fiction work The Big Empty which tells the story of a small West Texas town on the cusp of the new millennium, a lifelong cowboy wonders if a new semiconductor plant will ensure a future for his son or eliminate the only way of life he’s ever known. The Big Empty set in 1999, is a tale about the sense of place and tells the story of a fictional company AzTech which builds a semi-conductor plant in the dying west Texas city of Conquistador The story presages a series of cultural, economic, geographic and resources conflicts that are embedded in 2023 Texas. The podcast series focuses on current economic and culture issues faced by the state of Texas, its governments and its citizens, all explored through the prism of Steffy’s book, The Big Empty.

Coming Conflict with China-Business Challenges and Responses, won 2 awards for Distinction. The first was for a Limited Series and the second was in the Business-to-Business Category.
In this podcast, which I co-host with Exiger President and CEO Brandon Daniels, we considered how in the short span of the 21st Century, the world’s two top powers, the United States and China, have moved inexplicably towards a showdown. This evolved from a commercial competition into something more akin to permanent non-kinetic warfare. What does this mean for US business doing business in and with China? In this special 5-part blog post series, we explore issues diverse as real danger, supply chain, exports, cyber-attacks and IP theft from the business perspective and give the compliance and business executive their viewpoints on what you can do to not only prepare your company but protect it as well. The challenges your company faces and more importantly the responses you make will go a long way towards determining if your organization will weather the coming storm.

I would love to host you and your podcast on the Compliance Podcast Network. It is the only podcast network dedicated to compliance but as you can see by many of these award-winning podcasts we are not limited strictly to compliance. In fact, the only thing we are limited by is our collective imaginations. So, do you have an idea for a podcast? Do you have a passion you want to discuss? Then give me a call or shoot me an email.
