In this special episode of Game Changers, you go 1-on-1 with Michael LeJeune to talk about Your Biggest Enemy. In a nutshell, your biggest enemy is often you. One of my biggest soapboxes is that most business owners don't really know how to run a business. Business owners are typically experts at their craft/trade, but running a business is a foreign language to them. And when their business struggles, they blame everything but themselves. Breakthroughs often come when you check your ego and realize that you need to change in order to overcome your challenges.

Ep 317: How to Spot GovCon Scammers and Con Artists

We live in a world where our government and national security is under constant attack.  The target of these attacks are not simply U.S. Government systems, but everywhere the information may reside.  The U.S. Government has taken an approach to these dangers by requiring the contracting community to protect not only itself, but the U.S. Government from National-State level attacks.  Failure to do so can result not only in a default termination, but in becoming the defendant in a False Claims Act suit. Attorney David Panzer discusses the unique and substantial risks of non-compliance with cybersecurity obligations.
