Business leaders need to have a place. One source of truth that’s not overly complicated or a mashup of buzzwords and rhetoric. On Risky Business, that’s what we aim to provide—a show built to help empower your people, that way when unexpected change occurs, the only thing left to do is the right thing.

If disruptions teach us anything it’s the increasing importance of compliance in order to face the relentless challenges we encounter every day. So how can we move away from ‘business as usual to business as it should be?

For Season 2, we are back to demystify the word compliance, covering what you need to know from a community of people who have been in your shoes.

While we recognize much has changed since we were last together and will continue to do so, the foundations of compliance have not.

Join us as we explore the stories of brands who’ve been faced with those same relentless challenges and some who might still be figuring out what to do next.

How do you navigate the political aspects of compliance?

Greg Brower, Chief Global Compliance Officer for Wynn Resorts, has held positions at the DOJ, the U.S. Government Publishing Office, and even the FBI. While not every role was strictly in compliance, Greg has a talent for drawing valuable lessons from challenging situations and applying them to risk mitigation.

In this episode, Greg sits down with hosts Adam Kaiser and Jordan Feise to share some of the lessons he’s learned from his experiences, and why a seemingly minor violation can have a tremendous impact. “Everything I've done before really informs, in some way, what I'm doing now.” As the conversation unfolds, Greg emphasizes the importance of developing relationships and learning the business.

How can tech innovations and transparency help you build a better business?

Justin Dillon, Corporate Counsel at Red Hat, parlayed a background in white-collar crime investigation to a compliance career in software. At Red Hat, he enjoys an “architecture” role, building their compliance program from the ground up.

In this episode, Justin sits down with hosts Adam Kaiser and Jordan Feise to share his journey and insights on compliance technology, transparency, and the human factor as it relates to both. “Risk is created not only by organizational behavior but by human choices.” As compliance efforts escalate globally, the competitive advantage goes to ethical and trustworthy businesses.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How transparency is a competitive advantage
• Why the human element will always be needed
• Why “tone at the top” matters
