Rob (“Guy Fawkes”) and I had such a great and informative chat today on cybersecurity with Fortress SRM’s Peter Cavrell and Chuck Mackey. A timely topic for sure.
Thank you also to Richard Levick who joined us for the show opening to salute legendary Michael O’Horo, who will be so deeply missed. We discussed Mike’s candor, heart, authenticity, leadership, and … Porsche-buying negotiation skills, among other things. ❤️

Shout outs during the show to Denise Zdena Pouza, Timothy Corcoran, Mark T Greene, Kimberly Bell Schultheis, Patrick Fuller, Deborah Farone, Amy Payton Verhulst, Gail Porter Lamarche, Dianne Rychlewski, Don Sexton, Susie Sexton, V For Vendetta, and Phyllis Diller.
The conversation with Peter and Chuck dives into the risks and opportunities for lawyers (and consultants) to help their clients map processes, policies, and rules to anticipate, avoid, and mitigate risk. Cybersecurity isn’t a tech problem, but a people one.
We discuss how bad actors avail themselves of human weakness, and talk about the importance of table top exercises to increase agility in one’s organization. We cover how legal marketers and business development professionals can frame their firms’ messages on this topic and help keep their firms safe in a digital landscape. And the essential role of crisis communications, public relations, and media relations.
Join us on June 2nd from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm CT at The Chicago Athletic Association.

Thank you, Gail Jaffa, David Leck, and PSMG, for including my piece on personal commitment to proper board governance in the spring issue of Centrum Magazine! I’m deeply honored!
“Serving on, or aspiring to serve on, a board requires more than just an eye for governance, propriety, and fiduciary responsibility, it requires the type of innovative approach we should be applying elsewhere in life. Clark Hill Law’s Roy Sexton has some tips – including tackling those governance wonks.”
Read here: https://dh-design.foleon.com/e-doc/centrum-spring-2022/tech-innovation-clark-hill/ … plus, my dear pals Pamela Cone and Dominic Ayres are also featured in this issue!
Excerpt: “Remember that, particularly if you are in a volunteer board role, everyone is taking energy away from their families and personal needs because of their commitment (and, yes, probably to feed a bit of ego too). In the end, you are only as good as the heart, wit, and dedication you bring to this activity. Honour these duties, absorb them into your DNA, and keep a healthy perspective (and sense of humour) about it all.”
