Is your business on the right side of history?
This Jan, I'm teaching my new course, National Security, Legal Strategy, and Business Risk, at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Law School.
I designed the course to help future leaders build strategy before the world forces them to react.

Is your business on the right side of history?

Maritime disruptions, foreign data laws, cyber fallout, and influence campaigns aren’t abstract risks.
They define 2025.

Your business is already part of geopolitical competition.
Scenario planning is how you stay ahead.

76,000 fake social media accounts.
Thousands of people trafficked and beaten.
$15 billion in Bitcoin seized for US coffers.

The aftermath raises huge geopolitical questions--and lots of risk.

🎤 Honored to accept my imaginary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction — for Best Law Review Article Named After a Song. 😂

If it existed, my Cornell piece “Law as a Battlefield” would win.

Thanks to academia, the 1st Amendment, Pat Benatar, the Combatant Commands, & @asilorg.bsky.social 🤘⚖️

My new @HarvardILJ article shows how weaker states have leveraged the International Court of Justice (@cij_icj) to prevail against stronger powers.

Superpowers don’t have a monopoly on power. My new @HarvardILJ article shows how smaller states use lawfare to challenge giants at the ICJ. The rules of geopolitics are changing—are you ready? #lawsky #academicsky

You don’t need inspiration. You need answers.
❓ Why isn't your message landing?
❓ Why isn’t your team aligned?
❓ Why aren't you getting the feedback you know you need?

In just 60 minutes, we’ll fix that. ⬇️

🚫 Your firewall won’t stop a legal attack.

China is using laws as weapons—and most leaders don’t even see it coming.

Thanks to Lt. Col. Richard J. Connaroe & @IPDefenseForum for highlighting my work ⬇️

I don’t take this mic for granted.

This week, I stood in Einstein’s old classroom—25 years after being told I’d never get into Princeton.

What got me there?
Curiosity. Grit. A mindset of service.

Now I teach others to lead the same way—by speaking truth with power and presence.

They called me “Visionary.” Said I “connected so many dots.”

At CELIS Leaders DC, I spoke on Economic Security—how democracies protect freedom when autocrats weaponize investment.

The U.S. and EU are tightening investment rules. The stakes are high. I help leaders connect the dots that matter.

Most speakers fear Q&A. I love the challenge--and the connection.

Here I'm testifying before Congress, answering Rep. Auchincloss’s smart question about China’s Coast Guard Law — sparked by my @Forbes piece.

No script. No fluff. Just strategy.

I took 3 days off—and returned to 4 speaking invitations. Here’s why my clients keep coming back.

They know that yesterday’s strategy won’t win tomorrow’s war. And good leaders keep upping their game.

I’ve got a few Q2 speaking slots left. If you and your team are ready to lead boldly—DM me.

Russia is using law as a weapon against the West. Wednesday NATO’s Legal Ops Conference @bostoncollege.bsky.social, I spoke on Russian lawfare + hybrid warfare—and how it affects business too.

China is using US courts to silence critics—and your company could be next. I testified before Congress on the CCP’s lawfare strategy. It’s not just about politics. It’s about risk to your people, your brand, and your voice. #Lawfare #China #Leadership #NationalSecurity

🚨 China is suing critics in U.S. courts to silence them. I testified before Congress on how the CCP uses lawfare to repress dissent worldwide.

Last week, I had the privilege of speaking at the Defense Entrepreneurship Forum (DEF) on how China is using lawfare to shape the future of cyber, tech, and AI—and what that means for national security and private sector leadership.

Imagine playing a game where the other side changes the rules—then convinces others their version is legit. That’s Russian lawfare: twisting law to justify aggression, spread disinfo, & target businesses. No industry is safe. Read my latest in @JustSecurity: buff.ly/zCSMWVq
