S6 E9 – Tom Hardin on Ethics in Finance

On this episode of Traceability, I sat down with Tom Hardin, aka Tipper X, the former hedge fund analyst who became a key FBI informant in one of the largest insider trading cases ever. Tom opened up about his journey from moral drift to making some hard choices, wearing a wire over 40 times, and how small compromises can lead to major failures. His insights on building trust, psychological safety, and the power of culture over compliance are essential for anyone who wants to lead with integrity. This is a must-listen for entrepreneurs who want to succeed without sacrificing their values.
