Insightful! Real world applications!

Binged this podcast the last few days! It is great. I wondered for earlier episodes, where to find the books, links, media mentioned in the podcast. The blubrry link only contains the podcast. Would love to see a listing/linking to references. Keep these up!!

Correcting a “fraud”ulent review

I saw that someone gave you one star for his chief and only complaint which was Leah‘s giggling and said that was unprofessional and couldn’t take you seriously for it. Well, I have to say that there is nothing wrong with laughing. It is possible to be professional while having fun. No one said you can not laugh while taking your job seriously. For those of you who can focus, this podcast is amazing and provides so many unique angles towards one topic and the host really does make it very interesting to listen to. I find it hard to get out of the car sometimes because I am so intrigued on the topic at hand. Love love love this podcast!

If you are interested in fraud you need to listen

Leah does a great job in her podcast. Full disclosure: I’m a colleague and have been a guest. I am a regular listener because Leah brings such a variety of guests and I always leave feeling great about our field. I think this is a must listen if you are serious about fighting fraud and keeping current.
