A favorite catchphrase in today’s society is “thinking outside the box.” We encourage children to do it as early as elementary school, and we encourage adults to do it in the workplace. On one hand, the popularity of this motto makes sense: who doesn’t want people of all ages to think more creatively, to innovate? But what about the times when thinking inside the box makes sense – when it’s more prudent to stick to a template or guide?

In sports, the best defense can anticipate what the offense will do – and counter it, before the offensive players can gain an inch. It’s no wonder that teams of all levels – from youth sports to the pros – often study opponents’ past game footage before a game.
The same can be said of regulatory compliance: One of the best ways that enterprises can maintain compliance is by anticipating what regulatory authorities will do – for instance, what regulators would look for if an audit were to occur.
To celebrate this exciting new partnership, Copytalk CEO Maree Moscati recently had the opportunity to interview Ashish Shah, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of SyncWords. Here’s what they said.
On Sunday, Feb. 7, millions of Americans are expected to watch Super Bowl LV. It’s an event I’ll be sure to watch, and it has also given me pause for reflection. Although I’ve certainly never run down the gridiron for a touchdown, I’ve found that Copytalk has more in common than one might think with the NFL!
Between the Covid-19 pandemic, global economic uncertainty, and a divisive US election, 2020 was a trying year for many.

In this interview, Copytalk CEO Maree Moscati, will share all that the company is thankful for from the past year.
2020 has been a difficult year for many individuals and enterprises. Unsurprisingly, many have been hunkering down and taking a good look at their finances – and HNWIs are no exception.
Say the date Oct. 30 to most people and they’ll think “the day before Halloween.” But for financial services industries professionals, Oct. 30 has a very different (and some might say equally scary!) meaning. It marks four months since the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI) compliance date, and many in the industry are using this mini anniversary as a time for reflection.
Funny coinages aside, COVID-19 has drastically impacted not only where most of us work – for instance, from home rather than the office – but also how many of us work. Does 9-to-5 really exist anymore when we are working from home anyway?
It’s not just that memory retention declines over time. More compelling is the fact that memory alone is insufficient to accurately capture all the information required from, say, a meeting with a client or prospect.
What percentage of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) were uncomfortable with the wealth management fees that they paid last year?

It matters. Because while forgetting is human, it can also be expensive. Maree Moscati writes on the importance of memorializing information before it becomes lost in the shuffle.
On August 21st, 2017, a group of our Copytalk, LLC scribes stood outside, looking up at the sky through specialty glasses.

So many times, we see the words privacy and security lumped together, especially when we talk about technology. It’s easy, then, to think of them as a single idea, when in fact, they’re two very distinct concepts. In 2018, both privacy and security mean a lot to you, our clients, and to your clients, whom we protect by extension.
Whenever someone asks what my job is, I used to tiptoe around the subject. I’m not ashamed of what I do. In fact, I’m the only one of my friends that doesn’t complain about going to work in the morning. I plan on coming in to work until they tell me I can’t anymore. The reason I used to tiptoe around the subject is that for the longest time I didn’t have a great answer to the question I always get: “Why don’t they just use a speech-to-text program?” And I’m sure our potential customers have thought that as well. “Why spend a little extra on having a human do this when I could pay once for a computer program?”
We’ve all been there before, the awkward training period when you start a new job. Maybe you had to wear a silly hat while you learned what was and wasn’t okay to put in the deep fryer. Maybe you had to learn how to use expensive, complicated equipment, inevitably using it incorrectly in front of your boss’s boss. Maybe you even, as once happened to me, had to wear a giant button that said, “ASK ME ANYTHING,” long before you were ready to be asked anything. It seems that no matter the job, the training period is tedious, long and just plain unenjoyable. It’s not easy on you, the trainer, your manager and certainly not your customers.
