Episode Transcript:

Well, Adam, this time of year, I like to spend my time being thankful. Thankful for a lot of things. Thankful for my kids. Thanks for my dog. Thanks for my family and job and all the things. What are you thankful for this year, sir?

Oh, well, um, you know, just, it's been, uh, it's been a, uh, been a good year. We'll, we'll be, we'll be doing like, uh, officially a new year's, uh, a new year's edition, you know, type of thing for the official reflection on the year and all that fun stuff, so stay tuned. But, um, no, it's just, uh, you know, you get to this point in the year and, uh, you know, every, it's, it's funny, you know, um, you know, some, you know, I'm, thankful, I'm thankful we're at this point, we're about to, you know, go embark on, uh, you know, whatever, in about 10 days or so of, uh, primarily, uh, food and family and all of that fun stuff. But no, it's, uh, it's a, it's a fun time of year.

You know, it, it makes me, it makes me think about some of the poor souls that are like, especially in the compliance space, right? You've got, there's a lot of organizations. I think, I think it was born from, you know, a lot of organizations, the, the compliance endeavors started by somebody originating out of like the, the CFO, you know, the, the accounting arena, and they're so used to having their, their engage, you know, their, their stuff go on a, you know, an annual cycle, you know, most companies are, are going January, December, right? And so there's a lot of people that, uh, that have their compliance engagements that go from January 1st to December 31st. So, you know, while a lot of people are heading off in, into the, uh, into the holiday sunset, if you will, you know, there's definitely some people in this compliance space. They're, they're kind of gearing up, right? They're mentally preparing themselves for, uh, for all of the fit that's about to hit the Shan.

They got an extra cup of eggnog over there.

Uh, yeah, with hopefully a couple of additives in it to help them navigate the waters. But I mean, it's for a lot of folks in the, in the, in the compliance arena, this time of year is, is, uh, it's kind of stressful, uh, extra stressful, right?

You're not, you're not just worrying about trying to navigate holidays and all that fun stuff, but you're, you're also, you know, staring down, uh, staring down a big hole in, uh, engagement and, and all of that fun stuff. So that definitely makes it, uh, make, makes it a little bit more exciting for some of the, some of the poor souls in the, in the, in the compliance management arena.

That totally tracks. Now, what type of messages of peace and goodwill do you have for those compliance teams out there right now in the stick of it?

Well, you know, we started this wild extravaganza for a reason, right? We were trying desperately to, you know, to help folks navigate their compliance engagements in a more peaceful manner, if you will. And a good part of that just comes down to, you know, the one thing I'd say to the folks in the compliance arena that, you know, they're, you know, about to enter the kind of fray, if you will, for their, for the annual engagement. I always try to, you know, find ways to make, make things better.
