Special Guest Cameo with Jamie Steven In the first part of my two part interview with Bob Thomas.. ...we got to know another amazing legal hero. I know, I say this about every whistleblower attorney, but it's true. Bob is an amazing icon in the legal whistleblower realm and really is responsible for so much awareness, positive change and anti-corruption initiatives. His legal experience in other areas of Law, really gave him a unique "big picture" wisdom of whistleblowing and has covered such a broad range of do-gooding.  [Please listen to part one to hear what Bob himself has to say abo ..read more

This week, I was honored to get a chance to sit down and pick the brain of one of the very best and well respected, Global Compliance Professionals, Eric T. Young. It's easy to be intimidated by someone of such stature and 40 years of unbelievable experience with companies like GE Electric and JP Morgan. He also has several years with the Fed and several international banks, but what really grabbed my attention, is the fact that he is "pro-whistleblower". Let me explain. Usually, the compliance department mitigates damage for the corporation. Their job is  to protect their company by maki ..read more

This whistle-sister is a ONE WOMAN machine after my own heart!  Even though she's in South Africa, a person doesn't have to go far to experience the true wildlife with heroes like June! SHE PERSISTS....and inspires others, on so many days where she isn't even sure where her next meal will come from, and can't get any sleep from the gunfire right outside in her neighborhood from gangs and random shootings. June keeps on fighting. Speaking up, and caring about others with a loving, giving heart, she still fights. And  THAT, is what being a whistleblower means. An undying  drive ..read more

 Lagniappe (/ˈlænjæp/ LAN-yap, /lænˈjæp/ lan-YAP) New Orleans is my favorite city to visit. There are so many unique things that a person can only find there and no were else in the US.  When talking with noted Whistleblower Attorney, Cleveland Lawrence of Mehri & Skalet PLLC, I found out he's originally from New Orleans. Not only did I learn some interesting new Creole words, I also found out a few really cool things related to his roots there, and what kinds of community involvement he still is a part of.  Listen in to hear all about Cleveland's history and thoughts on cu ..read more

Talk about DejaVu!?!  I was so curious to talk to another For Profit College Whistleblower, Debbi Potts. So much of our stories are identical. Why? you guessed it, because most of them used the same "playbook". They just never thought people like Debbi and I would be keeping (and sharing) the real scorecards. From 2009 until 2012, Debbi Potts worked as the campus director of the Cheyenne, Wyoming campus of CollegeAmerica Denver, Inc. . She resigned because CollegeAmerica’s business practices were unethical. In particular,  Debbi said that CollegeAmerica violated its accreditation sta ..read more

This week I got a chance to sit and chat with my friend and fellow "whistleblower elite club member", (as he calls it), John Kiriakou.  If you don't already know, John is a retired CIA agent and a father of five, who didn't know how much his life was going to change one day back in 2007, when he saw something that was so wrong, and was compelled to speak up. Kiriakou spent 14 years at the CIA as an analyst and case officer, leading the team that found high-ranking al-Qaeda member Abu Zubaydah in 2002. Yet, years after the event and under the Obama administration, Kiriakou ended up spendi ..read more
