Send us a text Andrew Goering takes us on a fascinating journey from the frigid frontiers of Alaska to the complex world of financial crimes compliance. Growing up in a place where schools only closed at -50°F and carrying survival gear was as normal as bringing your wallet, Andrew developed a sense of exploration and adventure that led him across the globe. Andrew explains why he'd rather face a bear than a moose in the Alaskan wilderness, shares his family's annual ritual of catching an entire year's worth of salmon in a single weekend, and describes what it's like living in countries where English isn't the primary language. We'll also learn how "Law school is fun, but not in the way that fun is fun." Sounds lovely. Enjoy! Thanks for listening!
