Trekking Through Compliance - Episode 0 - Introduction to the Updated Series

Since 2017, Tom Fox has posted the podcast, Trekking Through Compliance each summer. He is a full-fledged Trekkie, but there are also many of them in the compliance community. To commemorate the 5th anniversary of this series, Tom Fox has updated each episode with new commentary and insights for the compliance professional and business executive. Each episode is relatively short, coming in at 10 minutes or so to allow you to get a handle on the storyline and the lessons learned from it. So even if you have listed and re-listened over the past four summers, you will learn something new and revisit one of the most significant TV series.

In this podcast series, Tom Fox explores compliance, leadership, and risk management through the lens of Star Trek-The Original Series in a 79-episode offering. Each podcast reviews the episode's creative team, story synopsis, and three key lessons learned on compliance, leadership, and governance. If you love Star Trek as he does, this is the podcast series. Tom will use two key resources for each offering: (1) Eric's Excruciatingly Detailed Star Trek (TOS) Plot Summaries, which has plot summaries for every episode, and (2) MissionLogPodcast.com, a Rod Roddenberry podcast where Ken Ray and John Champion explore every episode of every Star Trek, the Original Series.

Tom will use the order of release in this podcast series, so the first episode is the premiere TV show on September 10, 1966, The Man Trap. This means that both pilots will appear later in the series. Also, the TV premiers are not on the same schedule as the production schedule.

So, listen over the next 79 episodes, revisit one of television's great achievements, and learn how you can use Star Trek to improve your corporate compliance program and yourself as a compliance professional and we are going to have some fun.
