When Was the Last Time You Slept?
I recently watched Matt Walker’s TED Talk, “Sleep is Your Superpower,” and I was absolutely shocked at what he had to say.
And a bit terrified.

It’s that time of year when we heed the warning about budget – use it or lose it!
If you find yourself in the lucky position with some year-end cash, here are some great ideas for where to spend it, and some strategies to try to get the most bang for your buck.
Oh, recidivists.
If you’ve already been fined for bribery, don’t do it again! Alas, for Oracle, history has repeated itself with a second series of FCPA violations. The facts, as laid out in the SEC Order, are pretty fascinating.
But more important are the lessons that can be learned to ensure our programs better prevent and detect bribery and misconduct.
Have you ever heard of a fake commute?
Neither had I until last week during the opening keynote of the SCCE conference in Phoenix. In it, Dr. Aditi Nerurkar from Harvard Medical School talked about the effects of burnout in the post-pandemic age, and how to combat the challenges so many of us face in our hybrid or work-from-home environments.
Her advice? Use rituals and a fake commute.
Right now, I’m traveling from Los Angeles to Phoenix for the SCCE’s annual conference. I’m leading a panel session on Tuesday, and I want it to be memorable. In truth, I want to be memorable too. But how do I stack the deck in my favor?

Compliance Champions are a great way to make all of this happen.
The explosive complaint filed with the SEC, DOJ, and FTC about security meltdowns at Twitter have all the best compliance problems!
As Zatko is slated to speak in front of Congress on Tuesday, it’s worth looking at his story for compliance lessons.
UPDATE: Why did I do this? Adventures in Executive Education A year ago, I completed an executive education course on the subject of Private Equity
What do elephants and porcupines have in common?
They’re both animals of course.
But elephants are not porcupines and porcupines are not elephants.
If scientists were tracking the habits of elephants, it would not help them to receive information about porcupine behavior. Different animals need to be treated differently.
The same is true when it comes to inquiries versus reports of potential misconduct.
