Douglas Wood on Law, Writing, and the Compliance Risks of AI: From Media Negotiations to Deadly Bytes
Welcome to the SBR-Author’s Podcast! In this podcast series, Host Tom Fox visits with authors in the compliance arena and beyond. In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Douglas J. Wood about his latest book, Deadly Bytes. Tom interviews former media and entertainment lawyer Douglas J. Wood about his 50-year legal career, his transition from representing entertainers to corporate studios and advertisers, and his later pivot to writing, which now totals 12 books, including eight novels. Douglas describes how legal research and interviewing skills support fiction but argues that fiction is harder because it requires creation, character development, and plausible plotting. He explains his focus on thriller writing as influenced by his studio work and authors like Ludlum and Clancy and outlines his process of extensive research and iterative drafting. Douglas discusses his novel Deadly Bytes, featuring an FBI profiler pursuing an AI serial killer. He connects it to real-world concerns: criminals already using AI for phishing and deepfakes, potential manipulation of evidence, AI hallucinations, and the risk that heavy AI use in law erodes lawyer apprenticeship and human judgment in negotiation and investigation.

Invitational Selling: Building Trust, Engagement, and Human Connection in a Digital World with Dr. Dennis Cummins
Welcome to the SBR-Author’s Podcast! In this podcast series, Host Tom Fox visits with authors in the compliance arena and beyond. In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Dr. Dennis Cummins to talk about his new book “Invitational Selling: The Human Connection Advantage.” Dr. Cummins to discuss his new book, which grew from his experience “selling from the stage” and from learning that pressing less and connecting more led to better results. Dr. Cummins argues that traditional high-pressure sales tactics are failing because buyers have more information, face constant messaging, and are increasingly skeptical, while AI-driven speed and automation can erode authenticity and trust. He defines invitational selling as a three-phase framework: connect, convey, and convert by inviting next steps. This is usable not only for products but for leaders seeking organizational buy-in, speak-up/listen-up cultures, and engagement that reduces resistance and turnover. He shares a story about his late daughter, Lauren, selling bracelets as a lesson in rapport, value, and meaning. The book launches April 28, with launch proceeds donated to Make-A-Wish Foundation. Key highlights: Why Write This Book Connect Convey Convert Beyond Sales Organizational – Buy In Speak Up Listen Up Culture Inviting Beats Telling Using AI Without Losing Trust Resources: Dr. Dennis Cummins on LinkedIn Dr. Dennis Cummins Website Invitational Selling click here Tom Fox Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn

Bribery Beyond Borders: The Hidden History and Future of the FCPA with Severin Wirz
Welcome to the SBR-Author’s Podcast! In this podcast series, Host Tom Fox visits with authors in the compliance arena and beyond. In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Severin Wirz, Senior Director for Ethics and Compliance at Applied Materials and author of “Bribery Beyond Borders: The Story of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.” The book is about the origins, narrative approach, and future of FCPA enforcement. Severin explains he used storytelling to challenge conventional views that the FCPA was merely post-Watergate morality or the product of Stanley Sporkin alone, tracing a longer lineage of U.S. anti-corruption laws (Federal Corrupt Practices Act, Travel Act, Hobbs Act, RICO, Bank Secrecy Act) instead. He recounts the United Brands/Eli Black scandal, Wall Street Journal reporting that broke key bribery revelations, Stanley Sporkin’s role at the SEC, and the legislative influence of Frank Church and William Proxmire amid debates over disclosure, criminalization, and books-and-records provisions. Severin discusses shifting geopolitical drivers of enforcement and recommends related reading and contact options. Key highlights: Severin’s Compliance Journey Writing FCPA as a Thriller Eli Black Scandal Breaks Sporkin and SEC Momentum Journalists Connect the Dots Frank Church and Cold War Stakes Proxmire Gets It Passed Three Visions of the FCPA Future Enforcement and Geopolitics Resources: Severin Wirz on LinkedIn Bribery Beyond Borders: The Story of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act on CCI and Amazon.
